It's time to say "Ciao for now!"  This pixie has been busy with too many things, my energies and time have been stretch to the breaking point.  So, I took some time and sat down to prioritize and focus.  This means dropping those things that are not high on the list.  This blog is one of those things. Don't get me wrong.  I appreciate the time I've been able to spend with all of you Pixie Pals

I am very excited! The Pixie Household is attending the 2014 BlogHer conference in San Jose, California! Now, I have to confess... The Pixie Household knew they were going to attend this conference back in October - which was when I bought the tickets.  But having tickets and actually having the time, energy, and money to attend are different things. Last October, this Pixie attended a

Wow! I cannot believe how long it has been since this Pixie actually logged on and posted a few lines!  Many apologies, Pixie Pals.  I know the hiatus I went on was far longer than anticipated, but I'm preparing to jump back on board the blogging train. So, I suppose I should fill you in on the latest... My consulting business has bounced back from the economic downturn and then some.  So

Today is Wicked Pixie's birthday.   We aren't really doing anything special for this birthday for two reasons... The first is that Wicked Pixie is sick with a nasty cold.  She's had the cold for a couple of weeks now, and while she is obviously getting better - she doesn't feel well enough for celebrations.  The second reason is because the Pixie Household is taking a major road trip in October

Hey, Pixie Pals... I have exciting news.  I'm in the process of planning a blogging conference.  Yep.  You read correctly.  A blogging conference. I want this blogging conference to be different from all the others out there, so I'm turning to you for help.  Here are some questions I need answers to... What is it about a blogging conference that would make you want to attend? Who would you like

I am having issues with it already being Monday.  It seems like yesterday was Monday.  In any event, the calendar doesn't lie (at least not my calendar), so it is time for Friend Makin' Monday.  If you’ve taken part in Friend Makin' Monday, then you know the rules.

Okay, I rarely win anything.  I believe I win something about once every 10 years.  I'm not sure if it is bad luck or horrible odds for the contests and drawings I enter, but I am rarely crowned "Winner!".  That said, I won something. I don't know about you, but many times I will enter drawings, giveaways, and other contests just to see what happens.  Most times, nothing happens.  I shrug my

It's Monday! Actually, I thought it was Monday only a few days ago.  I've been so swamped with work that I'm losing track of time.  It definitely isn't a good thing to be working over the holiday, but that is what this Pixie ended up doing.  But because it is Monday, it means it is time for Friend Makin' Monday.

One of the many places the Pixie Household went to on our road trip was the Bighorn National Forest.  We didn't intend to go there... We just, somehow, ended up there.  Not that we're complaining.  There was more than a few amazing things to see.  Such as... Trees... Lots of trees.  And water.  There was a lot of rain and snow, which made the rivers just burst with cold, blue water.  Set

As you Pixie Pals know, the Pixie Household went on a road trip to Wisconsin back in May.  The trip was really for business, but we turned it into a pseudo vacation as tried to pack as many sites in as possible.  One of those sites was the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. This isn't the first time we've been to South Dakota, nor is it the first time we've been around the Badlands.  But

I'm back! I've missed you Pixie Pals! I cannot believe it is already July! I'll play catch up with all of you starting tomorrow, but in the meantime I thought I would jump into my semi-usual post for Mondays... Friend Makin' Monday.  If you’ve taken part in Friend Makin' Monday, then you know the rules. If you’re new, please take a moment to answer this week’s questions on your own blog.

Hey, Pixie Pals!  I am posting this quick note to let everyone know that I'm taking a break from blogging.  I know... I know... I've apparently been taking a break for a while now.  I will be back on July 1, but I have been spending this month trying to get a load of things off my plate. I am making slow progress, but I should be ready to jump back into the blogosphere on July 1.

I'm slowly getting my stuff together since returning home from the big road trip the Pixie Household took to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  I'm not fully back into my routine and getting there seems to be a bigger struggle than I originally anticipated.  I don't know if it is getting older or what, but I think I need some recuperating time from my mini vacation.  Either way, I'm diving into Friend Makin'

Hi, Pixie Pals! I am still here, but I'm taking a little break from blogging.  The reason for my break is I've been on the road traveling for the past couple of weeks, and time and energy has prevented me from blogging.  But I have a lot to share with all of you, so I'll be back online Monday.  I just need to get cracking on processing all the photographs I took.  There are thousands of them!

The Pixie Household hit the garden center over the weekend.  We've been working furiously to get the garden in shape before we hit the road for Wisconsin, so we thought a trip to the garden center was called for - just to pick up a few bits of color to plant around our patio area. I have to say, I love the color of lilies.  I love the color of these lilies a lot.  But, we already have

It's Monday! I'm swamped with activities this week.  This Pixie Household is hitting the road on Friday for a road trip to Wisconsin (for work - not pleasure), so I'm scrambling to get everything done before Friday arrives.  But today is Monday, so it means it is Friend Makin' Monday.

One of the things that have been keeping me incredibly busy is these events I've been doing. One of the events last month was a two-day event for women. So, I decided to take a few photographs and share them with you Pixie Pals.  This is the venue we worked in.  I love the lights in this room.  They look like canoes. This was my co-presenter speaking.  I love how engaged all these

As you Pixie Pals know, my big trip... the trip I have been aching to do... has been cancelled.  Okay, not cancelled but definitely postponed.  See, my first book was suppose to be released in early April and then I hit the road for a book tour in May.  Unfortunately, I couldn't hit the road for a road trip in May because I would be too busy with client work - including client work on the road

It is amazing to me how a person's best intentions can quickly go wonky.  For me, my best of intentions was to post daily on this blog.  The life happened, and I became busy.  I was busier than I estimated for my time and energy levels, and my blog postings quickly became scattered... Maybe a couple times a week.  Then life magically became even busier, and I noticed that several weeks managed

Yep... I bought it.  I have been having problems with my Olympus DSLR cameras for a while now, and I knew it would be sooner rather than later before I had to purchase another camera.  I knew what camera I wanted to purchase, but it isn't the camera that I actually ended up purchasing. I was planning to purchase a Nikon D800.  I love Nikon cameras.  I love everything about them.  But the
