Just Keep Swimming

Posted on July 1, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Sometimes a song, a quote, or other item just sticks in your head. Case in point would be the words of Dory. Yes, I mean Dory from Finding Nemo. After seeing Finding Nemo the Musical while at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in May, her words have been motivating me. Which ones?

For some reason, I often find myself singing along to the song from the musical. If you have never seen it, I highly recommend taking the time. Here is the song that has made an earworm into my head and keeps me plugging along. Thanks to YouTube, I found it posted by Ame Livingston who happens to be Dory in the video.

What do you think about Dory’s words of wisdom to just keep swimming? More about this and some life lessons from Finding Nemo tomorrow.

Faux Tattoo Fun

Posted on June 30, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL and JSL,

The summer of 2012 may be dubbed the season of faux tattoos in our house. We have bought some in the past, but neither of you were really interested in them. The Avengers ones that I bought you for Chanukah sat for months unopened. Last week, one of you asked to buy some Toy Story tattoos from Michaels while we were there for an event. I said sure. The next thing I knew, you each had three tattoos, while I had one.

I am not sure what changed your interest in them. I have a feeling it may be thanks to seeing your cousins wearing them at JSL’s pirate party. It has been fun watching the two of you debate between Toy Story, Avengers, and other random tattoos that we have around the house from over the years.

No matter what tattoo you pick, I will love you both to infinity and beyond!

Love,

Meeting Phineas and Ferb

Posted on June 27, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Disclosure: This photo was taken after the 2012 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration and was part of the PhotoPass CD that we received. Phineas and Ferb are located at the Disney Hollywood Studios where fans can have their photos taken and wonder where Perry went. Although we paid for our own trip to Disney World to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, we were given an incredible deal from Disney. Also note that Disney never asked us to blog about this event. As a long time Disney fan, it is my pleasure to share my experiences from the event. More about the PhotoPass coming soon!

2000 Post Blogging Milestone

Posted on June 22, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Several weeks ago, TechyDad noticed on my WordPress admin page that I was closing in on post number 2000. He actually noted that it would fall on a Friday, so I knew it would show up for an Aloha Friday topic. In February 2007, I started The Angel Forever as a Live Journal blog which eventually moved to a self hosted domain with the same name in October 2007.

Over the 2000 posts, I have written about being pregnant with my youngest, giving birth, my oldest starting school, my oldest switching schools, and soon my youngest heading to kindergarten. We have celebrated countless birthdays, events at school, and lots of Jewish holidays. The Angel Forever has documented our travels to Walt Disney World for the first time as a family in May 2009 and multiple times since then. I write about health topics (febrile seizures, getting your first mammogram), education topics, arts and crafts, and knitting. Since we adore books and I am a certified reading teacher, I started Tuesday Tales to focus weekly on books that we adore, reviews, meeting authors, literacy topics, and beyond.

As my children get older, and life changes the topics within The Angel Forever will morph and grow with me. So my question to you this week:

How has your focus changed during your blogging tenure? Do you tend to go more with the flow, or do you have a certain niche that you write about?

Thanks to Kailani at An Island Life for starting this fun for Friday. Please be sure to head over to her blog to say hello and sign the linky there if you are participating.

Aloha #208
