Skype Cool My Couch Skype-enabled Smart TV Giveaway #CoolMyCouch

July 17, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

I spent two weeks in Texas this month and if it wasn’t for skype I would have gone crazy. I missed my kids so much as it was and just seeing them smile and be excited to talk to me was so much more meaningful than hearing their voice on the phone. One morning I was even able to be “mom” from far away because I could see that the kids hadn’t brushed their hair yet so I told my son to go to the bathroom and brush his hair. Setting up devices can be tricky for the older generation, you know what I mean right? Well how about getting them a Skype-enabled Smart TV?

I WANT ONE!!!

Skype: Connecting The Family with Face Time #WindowsChampions

July 2, 2013 by Momstart 3 Comments

clip_image002Skype: Skype is the always-on app that makes staying in touch with all your contacts easier than ever. If you can’t be with your Dad on Father’s Day, mom on Mother’s Day, family on Thanksgiving or Christmas, Skype is the next best thing. No matter if you’re on a PC, Windows Phone, Mac, tablet, iPhone or Android device, Skype keeps you connected and always available. (Free)

I’m in Texas because my grandmother is in the hospital. I travel all the time and while I’m dealing with mixed emotions I really really miss my kids. I don’t usually have all this extra time on my hands when I’m away from home but I have had a lot of time. So I decided that I’m going to make skype work on my phone. All I had to do was install it and sign in with my Windows Live account which is the same way you sign into Windows 8 on your computer. My husband called me and the first time I answered on my laptop. It worked great.

Then when I was at the hospital visiting my grandmother I called him on my phone and we skyped phone to phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and He has a Windows Phone 8x. Then I made sure that my moms phone works so she could call the kids when I go home. My mom has an iPhone 4 and hers worked really well. We chatted over skype. Then my husband called me with his Microsoft Surface and I answered with my phone. It was so great, I actually tucked the kids in over the phone. They were going to bed. I miss them so much but seeing their smiling faces helped so so much. It really lifted my spirits. I needed to see my kids and their faces. Zoe was able to tell me how they went shopping and I could really see the excitement on her face and how much fun she was having with dad. Miles talked to me once for about 2 minutes and then I could hear him yelling I love you mom. But he was too busy to talk to me the second time. Oh how I really need a hug. We did give each other hugs and lots of kisses. IMG_5750

So from device to device and network to network Skype keeps connection the family.
