Babushka

I was born in Moscow, Russia, and my amazing babushka is going to be 99 in September, God Willing.  It was important that my kids call my mom Babushka as well, and my father Dedushka. They call my husband's Israeli parents Saba for grandpa and Savta for grandma.  It is important to me that the kids know their roots, ancestors, history, every aspect, more important to me than sports, art, music, dance or any other education. The core of who they are comes from the family stories, and Jewish history, everything else they are open to explore at any time, whatever their interests are I support them.  A few things are a must, like swimming lessons for their safety and knowledge, but other than that the sky is the limit, but it will come as a request from them, not me running around taking them to every class under the sun.  I love when my kids just play, the games they make up are just out of this world, down time is as important as learning.

My mom is visiting for a few weeks, she has been to Los Angeles before, so this time we are just going to hang out and enjoy each other, no big agenda or trips.  We are however sharing amazing ideas, visions, and dreams, which will impact the world on a great scale, so excited!

Living is where its at,
Life is a celebration,
Live life to the fullest,
Living it up,
We Celebrate Life,
Every Morsel,
Even the lessons are good,
Be Present my friends,
Coach Yulia
