#TMNTMOVIE The 3 Generation Review, Trailer & TWEETY FIESTA!! #spon

Gracias once again to BB's Amigas at @AlliedHispanic for giving us tickets to see the #TMNTMOVIE .
No monetary compensation was given. Opinions expressed and fotos shared are all from Babushka's Bunch.

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!!

On August 8, the much anticipated #TMNTMovie will be shown in theaters nationwide.  Babushka and her Brood had the opportunity to attend a family screening. Not only did the grandbabies look forward to the movie, but 2 of the original generation of Turtle Lovers were in the group, looking to see the new incarnations of their childhood favorites.

For those of you who are living under a shell (sorry, couldn't resist), here's a shot of the latest TMNT.

#TMNTMOVIE TWEETY FIESTA RSVP

Necesitan mas??  Need more???

So what did the "First Generation" TMNT Fans think of the #TMNTMovie ?

Ok Si, BB agrees on some points there. It's a fast paced, well done 3D movie that in the first 5 minutes this non videogame playing grandma had a moment of vertigo, but then Babushka was fine. Besides, this movie, though enjoyable to all ages wasn't really targeted to Baby Boomers and their offspring, it was targeted to the current generation of TMNT lovers who are used to the fast pace and onscreen action.  So what did they think of the TMNT Movie?

They say a picture says 1000 palabras,but looking at these only one word comes to mind.

Bloggin' Mamas, Babushkas Bebe, & the whole TMNT Loving Gang!

COWABUNGA!!!

Saw that one coming didn't ya?

The Enchanted Feast- Sofia the First & Snow White. Sweet!! @DisneyJuniorUS DVD #Giveaway #spon #ad

From my marvelous amigas +ALLIEDHISPANIC Babushka brings you a Giveaway 

and Glorious Story with delights for all. But the opinions, como siempre, those are BB's.

Available to own Agosto 5, 2014

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!

Sofia the First- Reigning Princess of Disney Jr has come out with her 2nd DVD, The Enchanted Feast.  Like the CD, and her 1st DVD, Sofia gets by with a little Royal Help. And like the other times, BB will be having a giveaway for y'all too.  Pero primero, let's share what this storyline is about.

Sofia the First: The Enchanted Feast DVD

There's more than meets the eye when you join Sofia the First for this royally scrumptious adventure! All the monarchs from Enchancia's neighboring kingdoms have come to watch a dazzling display of magic: First, Cedric will conjure up a fabulous feast. Next, he'll transform the banquet room into a hall of amazing ''morpho-mirrors.'' But before the fun begins, wicked Miss Nettle (disguised as ''Sascha the Sorceress'') crashes the party with a scheme to steal Sofia's magical amulet. Can Sofia foil the bad fairy's plan before it's too late? Perhaps . . . with help from Snow White, who reminds her it's important to trust your instincts.

Si My Beautifuls, Trust Your Instincts.  BB's instinct is that La Princesa will love watching this DVD with the other Princesas on it- especially when she has the following:

Oh won't La Princesa truly feel like royalty!!!

Tiara 

Amulet

And you can't have a Royal Feast without Royal Plate & Flatware!

Plate

Flatware

Por supuesto, but of course, I'm waiting to watch this with La Princesa, and if it's anything like the other two items we've shared, Babushka KNOWS she'll be delighted.  Besides, she's my granddaughter- anything that has to do with a Feast is sure to be loved. Quee? You thought BB wouldn't mention the food? Ju So Fonii!!!

For those that want to watch Sofia the First, The Enchanted Feast on the day it's released, go ahead and click on the above links.  Don't miss the full effect, while you're there get the jewelry and the eating items to feel like royalty too when joining The Enchanted Feast.  You can beat BB and La Princesa will be feasting that way!

For those who can wait a bit- 

Entry-Form

Buena Suerte My Beautifuls

See ya at The Enchanted Feast

Babushka's Bus Brigade- @RedCoachUsa and @GreyhoundBus - The Comparison #Review

This is the Tweet that started it all. 

@RedCoachusa been a frequent traveler w/ @GreyhoundBus for yrs- u willing to have a BB comparison? #Miami #Tallahassee

— bohemian babushka (@BBabushka) June 23, 2014

They were willing to do the comparison, and sent El Dr. and BB to Tallahassee. 

 All pics, observations and opinions are Babushka and grandson.

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!!

This summer BB was blessed once again to have a mini vacation with my eldest grandson, El. Dr.  As y'all know, Babushka prefers the bus for Florida innerstate travel, and have been traveling this way for years. In BB's opinion nothing beats having someone else drive for you who knows the way and lets you just eat,sleep and be on the internet the whole trip.  Also, you can't beat the price- as far as gas goes, the tickets are waaayy less than what you'd pay if you were driving.  So, Babushka travel any other way? JU SO FONII!!! Now what didn't occur to me were the differences between bus services.  Wow and Woah.  An example? It's like the difference between a pedicure, and a spa pedicure. Like la diferencia entre Walmart and Target. Ahora si, BB sees you nodding.

The actual guagua/bus BB & El Dr. rode to Tallahassee



Now Y'all know Babushka loves the details- miren pa' esto, just take a look...

El Dr., remembering the last bus terminal we were in, couldn't hold back his joy.
The sitting lounge, the welcoming door, and the vending machine with acceptable prices.
Enjoying the seat with nearby plug while holding on to the snack packs.
Si My Beautifuls- they give their guests snack packs!!

You KNOW BB was open mouthed- in every meaning of that phrase.

Now Greyhound has a 50lb underbus allowance free to each passenger,
which I always thought was good.

What does RedCoach offer its passengers?

2- 50 lbs of luggage under the bus!!!

If you're a light packer, you might prefer the 1 carryon AND 1 purse Greyhound rule whereas RedCoach has the 1 carryon/1purse regulation.  For Babushka that's a hard one, since I must have my laptop, and my Popa bag w/snacks is almost a carryon all by itself. Since El Dr. was going that was ok this time.  Also ok this time was the amplitud, the spaciousness of the bus. 

Actually, it was more than ok!  Instead of the 51 passenger bus Babushka usually traveled on, the RedCoach accomodates 27.  And if you notice, one side has single seats and the other has two; that way those who travel alone can have their space and those traveling together can sit together without fear of separation.  BIG difference.  As a matter of fact, they even have assigned seats for the different types of fares. Si, they totally have different categories- First, Business, Economy. No se, but maybe because I was comparing, but BB didn't see a bad seat in the whole bus.  Es mas, note the shakiness of the picture, Babushka was in shock. Not only was the bus spacious, but the legroom...

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Another unbelievable thing?  When BB last year, first told El Dr. we were going by bus he asked if they had snacks and a movie.  Of course we all laughed, but "out of the mouth of babes", who's laughing now??  RedCoach has on board movies!  Here is a short video showing how we enjoyed our ride - first class luxury for Babushka and Grandson.

Ok si, Greyhound has more scheduled trips, but in the cities RedCoach has, they also have shuttles. Buenisimo right? Imaginate, the  business meetings, hotels, the marinas,the restaurants,the shopping! Here's the link for the Miami shuttle so you can take a looksie.

  http://www.redcoachusa.com/miami-hotels-and-cruises 

 And for those parents sending their children off to a Florida University, you can't beat the comodidad and greater sense of security on RedCoach.  But BB will write for my college parents- as well as those parents who want to take a hassle free ride to Orlando, on another post. Just let it be known, that for Florida bus travel- point for point, and if I had my druthers, it would be RedCoach all the way.It may be a little bit more, but like the aforementioned spa treatment, that extra pampering is definitely worth it.

 No wonder there was no hesitation from RedCoach when Babushka contacted them through Tweety.
  

They've really got no competition.

Happy Travels this summer My Beautifuls!!!

Social Good for a Good School Year #Ebates #GivingBackPack

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!!!

It's Back to School Time, and though Babushka's Trio doesn't need me to get them their school supplies (bueno, maybe My Little One with college stuff, but that's different), BB still remembers how crazy the stores would get, the supplies all over the place, and the frustration of not getting everything on the list.  Lucky for y'all you can buy everything you need online, in the comfort of your home AND get money back too!! Si, with Ebates that's exactly how you use it. In comfort with dinero back.  

Unfortunately Babushka was behind the times, deadline, and running Cubantime so it was done the old fashioned way.  Debajo de lluvia, under rains, BB drove without AC to buy the school supplies. This campaign objective is to provide backpacks filled with school supplies for kids in need. Isn't that a wonderful thing? It's a special project, therefore a special backpack was needed. If BB was going to be giving of herself, the full essence must be given. Not wanting to get "any old backpack" Babushka took advantage of Bealls Outlet "Over 50 Club Members Monday", where everything is 15% off. Had to be conscious of the $25 allowance given by Ebates, and that's a great place to start.  I found el backpack y con el descuento it was $9.08.  

PERFECCION!!!

You can't get more "Bohemian Babushka living in rural Crawfordville" than this!

Totally feliz I went to Walmart to get the local school supplies list and the rest of the needed supplies.  

If you notice, there's no mention of a backpack, but BB doesn't care.

Exceeded the $25 allowance by $5, but BB doesn't care.

Helped a child start the school year off right.

BECAUSE WE CARE!!!

May the school year be one of joy and much learning, 

and if you could help it be so for someone else,

BB promises YOU My Beautiful, will have joy and much learning tambien.

BB2U


p.s.  Ebates  rebates 3.5% Bealls and 2% Walmart

p.p.s.
Babushka was so happy to give the backpack & supplies to Medart Elementary Principal Kim Dutton. 
It's a wonderful school and grateful for the donation.
