Selecting Phone Sounds

Posted on April 13, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Two weeks ago, Violet came into my life. If you do not know who Violet is, let me introduce you.

Violet says hello

Yes, Violet is my first Smartphone and I had to name her. At first, I felt a little Bionic-ly challenged when she came into my life, but now I love the flexibility she allows me to have with her features.

One of the items I was most excited about was setting ring tones for different people, places, and things. It’s the little things in life some days. I had a lot of fun with this. While looking at phones one day, the woman at the store happened to mention an app called Zedge. This was the first item that I put on the phone (Instagram came out a few days after we got the phones).

Zedge time

At first, I put a notification sound that was just too much. Although I love Beaker from The Muppets, he was over the top. Right now, it sounds like Mario is here collecting coins when I get a text or e-mail. Then, it was time for music. For TechyDad, I selected a little of The Big Bang Theory Song. Let me tell you, I almost had Sheldon saying Bazinga for him. For my father, it had to be Elvis. Still not sure what to keep for my mother, but my son likes the Adele tune and keeps singing along when she calls me. Others have been selected for a few other people, but I still need just the right ones for others. Oh, I will never admit who the Jaws Theme was selected for.

So my question to you this week:

What ring tones do you use on your phone and is there a special story behind them?

Time for UBP 2012

Posted on April 12, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

 

Ultimate Blog Party 2012

It’s that time of year again. Welcome to all coming from the 5 Minutes For Mom Ultimate Blog Party to The Angel Forever. I have been participating in the UBP for many years now. I started to follow Janice and Susan when I was home with my then infant son. JSL is now about to turn five and head into kindergarten this fall. Time sure flies when you are blogging and having fun.

If you are new to the UBP, pull up a seat and start blog hopping (linky on 5M4M goes live at midnight on April 13). It’s a great way to get to know new people and hang out with long time friends from around the blogosphere. Earlier in the week, I wrote about my UBP memories.

Let me introduce you to my boys. TechyDad is my husband and also blogs. NHL is my third grade son and JSL is the little guy who wants to be known as Supper JSL Buzz Lightyear.  My Boys

So who am I and where am I above? Typically, I am taking the photos and rarely seen in them. I am constantly wearing different hats. I am a teacher that is currently a work at home mother. I miss being in the classroom, but I wouldn’t trade the time with my boys and not having to worry about being there when they need me. If you look around my blog, I write about books, crafting (love to knit), travel, all things Disney, parenting, and beyond. Topics like religion are usually about how we celebrate holidays and politics is something I try to stay out of here.

Me and Dumbo

Are you participating in the Ultimate Blog Party? If you are, please let me know your post link and I will be sure to stop by. If not, why not join the fun? Of course, before you go here is a cupcake to enjoy while looking around.

Mickey Cupcake for you

Hope to see familiar faces and get to know a lot of new people. If this is your first time here, welcome again and I hope to see you again soon.

Ultimate Blog Party Memories

Posted on April 9, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

It’s that time of year again! Yes, on Friday bloggers from all over will participate in the Ultimate Blog Party 2012, or UBP12 for short.

Ultimate Blog Party 2012

The ladies at 5 Minutes For Mom are inviting everyone to participate and share memories from past UBPs. I know I have been participating in the Ultimate Blog Parties for quite some time. I think I found them five years ago when I was very pregnant with my youngest son. It was a fun way to get to know new bloggers. Of course, as social media increased over the years, so did the number of people participating.

In 2010, the party had extra special meaning to me. It was the year that I really got into the spirit. I wrote my Ultimate Blog Party 2010 post, did lots of blog hopping, participated in Twitter events, and more. I had taken the year before off because of so many things going on at once. It felt great getting back into the swing of things. I had a great time meeting new friends and even wrote about it for the After Party celebration.

Of course, I would be lying if I didn’t mention that the 2010 party also is special to me for another reason. You see, I am sitting here typing away my post on the Grand Prize from that event. YES – I was the winner! Of course, the way I found out was pretty funny. I had gone to sleep early that evening because I was not feeling too well. I knew that the party was ending that evening, but was too tired to follow along.

The Ultimate Prize

I fell asleep, but when TechyDad went to go to check on one of the boys, I heard a text message (used to get Tweets via SMS messages) come to my phone. By this time, it was very late. Then, before I knew it my phone kept beeping, beeping, and more beeping. The Tweets were coming in so quickly that I could not even stop to read any of them. I had TechyDad check on his computer to see what was going on. That is when I read everyone congratulating me.

The timing on this prize could not have been better as my old laptop was dying. It was so nice to have the new Toshiba. My laptop has now gone with me to BlogHer, Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, SheStreams, and beyond. So many memories and many more to come as I get ready for The Ultimate Blog Party 2012 – thank you 5 Minutes For Mom for another fun party starting later this week.

Will you be participating in the Ultimate Blog Party 2012? I hope to see you there! For more details, click on the button from 5M4M above.

Disclaimer: I wrote this post because it was a lot of fun to participate while getting ready for the Ultimate Blog Party 2012. In addition to this, there is a possible prize via Rafflecopter for sharing my UBP story.

Extra Hour Wishes

Posted on April 6, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Right now, I really wish I was here:

Disney Dreaming

The reality is that I am at home getting ready to have two Passover Seders at our house Friday and Saturday evenings. So I will be looking for a hidden Mickey in my matzoh, but not sure that will happen. Hmmmm….

Wishing for Mickey Matzah

So while I am off helping TechyDad get everything ready, I leave you with a not too serious question.

If you had three extra hours in the day that were just for you, how would you use that time?

It's Me

Mama Doni Gives Us Mission Immatzoble

Posted on April 3, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Passover is coming! Passover is coming! Purim was just here and now it seems like we went full speed ahead into Passover. Thanks to this, TechyDad and I are busy getting our house ready for the Seders this weekend. Before I know it, our house will be taken over by this:

Matzah Time

To get everyone in the mood, I wanted to share a great new video from Mama Doni. As a fan, I follow her on Facebook and happened to see this and asked if I could post it here. So please take a little time to rock out to Doni’s new Mission Immatzoble music video – it is AMAZING!

 

As always, Mama Doni helps to teach us about the holiday and gives us a great new tune to listen to while we celebrate. So are you ready for the holidays (whatever you observe)?
