An aria by Johann Sebastian Bach was discovered… for a soprano. I’d love to get a copy and try it.

Bach Aria
Thursday, August 31st, 2006Vox Anyone?
Monday, August 28th, 2006I have two vox invites. Just leave a comment and I’ll send you one. Go check it out if you don’t know what it is. I wish they had more diversity of backgrounds, but they are still new, so just give them time. I got an invite mostly so I could get the Pixiemom name for Vox before someone else, but I like to answer a “QOTD” (question of the day) sometimes. It is a neat, different way to get to know someone.
If You Thought You Had a Bad Day…

A Paperclip for a House

Special Delivery
Thursday, May 4th, 2006I have a friend, Kim, who is having her third daughter today. Please pray for her and the baby. She is being induced because her blood pressure went up way too high yesterday. I can’t wait to see the pictures. Her other two daughters are so beautiful and I know this one will be as well.
Edit: Oh wow! She has some birth story if you are interested in it. Baby Tori came with no problems at all. I can’t tell it like her, so if you want, just go on over and read it yourself and offer congratulations.
A Blog Apart is Back

Coffee Review #2
Wednesday, April 26th, 2006This is actually the third coffee we’ve tried, but Jeremy is working on the review for that one for me. I decided to do this one myself. You will be able to tell it has a different author as the tone of the post will be different.
Blogger’s Beach Blast
The description says, “This luscious flavored coffee will make your blog! Featuring a tantalizing combination of chocolate kiss and caramel.”
The aroma is nice and mild. You get a hint of caramel wafting in the midst of the coffee. I usually end up taking at least one big sniff while it’s brewing.
The taste is slightly above mild, but with a “kiss” of chocolate and the caramel, it smooths out very nicely, especially with some cream in it. If you prefer, as I do, you might like to add a small amount of sugar, but not much is needed.
I think this is a good after dinner coffee. It is a good prelude to or as dessert. It is nice and relaxing.
One thing I have done every once in a while is add 1 teaspoon of hot chocolate to it to boost the chocolate taste. It tastes very delicious, almost like a mocha caramel latte.
You can get this coffee or any of the other new Blogger’s Fuel flavors from Boca Java. Stay tuned, more reviews will be coming.
I Give In
Saturday, April 22nd, 2006I got a Flickr account. I was surprised to still be able to have Pixiemom as my username, but I’m happy to have it. I uploaded a bunch of pictures. Enjoy.
Coffee Drinker and Blogger?
Wednesday, April 12th, 2006Want to try some good coffee for free? If you blog and are willing to do a coffee review on your blog, then Blogger’s Fuel is looking for you. They have a few openings left for reviewers for their new line of coffees for bloggers. Jeremy and I will be reviewing some on this blog. The coffee is made by Boca Java so it’s going to be some good coffee. Oh, and if you want to buy any, I have a link over there at the side, so they know I sent you. Jeremy loves the good coffee like this and he’s excited to be able to try them.
Thus ends the commercial. We will now get back to your regularly scheduled program.
