Appreciation is Love. Gracias @Seaworld for sharing Latino Lore. #hosted #3KingsDay #ValentinesDay

This was originally posted for the February issue of Conexion. BB was given three media passes to Seaworld for their Three Kings Celebration. Opinions and post all Babushka's.



HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

It’s Febrero and lots of y’all are thinking about Valentine’s, Dia de los Enamorados. Aunque Babushka’s been married 3 times and romanced plenty, write on that aspect? JU SO FONII!! Today we speak on something different.  

BB takes daily life and being grateful for it very seriously. Those of you who follow Babushka on social media know that at noon is posted #GSOG #GigaSecondOfGratitude #GospelOfGracias. This is where a quick shout out to life is shared. It could be for anything, everything. This is what is wished for you this year Beautifuls-to be grateful for life and all its' adventures. Hoy BB shares her first adventure of the year.

Babushka started 2019 off with a hosted visit to SeaWorld Orlando , on Three Kings Day. Reyes, celebrated by a major Florida theme park. Think about this Beautifuls. Via the US Census, Latinos in the summer of 2018 made up 25% of the states population- yet there had been no dedicated dia to us. Gracias Seaworld. BB went to the inaugural Reyes Celebration last year and wanted to see if they would repeat it. Not only was it repeated, but it was bigger. No te puedo decir how happy we were to see more of our culture shared. The foods, the musica, the beautiful sound of our language being spoken, sin pena and often. Families sharing with their little ones the story of the 3 Kings and their memories of childhood celebrations. The best part of the grand day was in the final show. The “warm up” was a latino singer/musician who spoke to the audience in Spanish and sang Christmas songs of their youth. Sin exageration, a BB se le aguaron los ojos, couldn’t help getting emotional when a giant auditorium was filled with love of their Navidades Nativos, all joining in song, memorias y longing. Being able to relive the joy and reason of the season, to share with family our ways, our culture, in GRANDE. Because we all know recognition by a major presence vale mucho in the world’s eyes, we thank you Seaworld Orlando for the festivities.

Appreciation is love. And there is so much to be appreciative of. Make sure to acknowledge whatever brings you joy. Share that acknowledgement and joy wherever you can. The memory will bring you more joy, and we could all use some of that.

Love. 
This article shows appreciation and familia fall under that palabra. 
What falls under that word for you Beautifuls?

P.S.  Gracias to Seaworld Orlando FB Messenger for sharing the musician's info.

At Home and Heart #MOANA #Giveaway @Disney @AlliedContigo promo

Gracias to Disney and Allied Contigo for including BB in this promo. Compensation as shown and felicidad/opinion son de Babushka and Grands. Also as shown, and all ours.



Disney Grandmothers Moana Tala
Our Hawaiian Princess at 3 months w/greatgreat grandmother La Tata.


HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Hoy hablamos of Disney's Moana and one of the main points en la pelicula;the significance grandparents can make in children's lives. Grandparenthood, ser Abuelo- where discipline is slight and sweets aplenty. Sweets, besides the sugary kind, are when the abuelos son the confidants, the guiding light from the past who believe in our futures.  Moana was blessed with Grandmother Tala, and hopefully The Grands will think the same of Babushka.  La Princesa, being autistic and the only hembra is especially close to BB y con el favor de Dios will continue to connect with the feelings of total love held for her. Quee?? Ok, si,  JU SO FONII!!!  Tambien connect with some of the locura and love of life shared too.




Also BB's blessed job is to entertain and premiar y'all, so, gracias a Allied Contigo one of you Beautifuls will win a digial dvd copy of the movie Moana. Mientras tanto, there's a great set of new activity sheets out, y aqui lo tienes:



El amor de abuelos and familia. Also the love de Moana, which El Dr. & Dr.J enjoy watching, and we look forward to seeing it again cuando llega La Princesa later this week. Check out the merchandise we will get to share and make more memories with.



Aqui is the giveaway so you can make marvelous memorias too.


Buena Suerte Beautifuls, and remember-

Be proud of where you come from, believe in that tiny inner voice of amor,
 and know that Babushka will always be near and loving you.

That's the sponsors rhyme and reason, now here's Babushka's.

More than 30 years ago, BB remembers how her mother was such a soccer fan,(si, I know, I'm using the American name ) that when South Florida had a team she would take us to all the games. Hoping to show solidarity and support for a sport that she knew wasn't really on the US radar, she would scream louder than anyone in the bleachers. Unfortunately the time for soccer wasn't then, but her love of soccer did pass on to the latest generation.



And Rinquincaya takes his soccer seriously!!
The love of the game is in la sangre- it's in the blood. 




Bueno, Ok Si. That's in his blood too!


You know what's also in our blood? TREMENDA MESCLA!!!

Here La Princesa has confiscated "Baby Brother's" toys, while El Dr. happily holds up the onesie of his much asked for Little Brother.
These are the prizes of the giveaway. Sans the book on Pele; that one's for Babushka.


Cuban,Chinese,Dominican, Panamanian,Spanish, African, French-
so the one team we all are rooting for:


PicaPica supporting the Red,White & Blue!!!


My Grandbabies, mis nietos- that's "Mi Equipo, Mi Herencia" 

At last soccer/futbol is appreciated at home- 
I know Mama's up there still screaming her support and pleasure.


And now you My Beautifuls can join in the fun too!
