Charlotte’s creation, My Pixie Blog, is a refreshing look at all things the single life offers…including “love, loss, and lessons learned”.
Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging about a year ago because I was dealing with a very painful breakup and I wanted to record all the highs and lows. For whatever reason, I had given up on writing for about 10 years (!!) and I was hoping to draw inspiration from some of the darker moments. My writing has changed tremendously from when I first started and I’m happy that my posts are now filled with a lot more love and light.
What inspired the title of your blog?
I have a bit of an obsession with pixies and fairies and wanted to incorporate that theme into my blog. Also, I didn’t want to limit it to breakup stuff only because there is so much more to me than just that.
What makes your blog different than others you read?
I have tried to be as honest with myself (and with my readers) as possible. The raw pain. The tears. Feeling sorry for myself. That’s all in there. But then I started to immerse myself in yoga, meditation, and live music and I reconnected with old friends. And I started to date again. There were definitely some days I was terrified to hit “publish” (primarily the posts where I describe sex after the ex) but they were also the most liberating to write.
What do you hope to achieve with your blog?
I would love to reach out to other women who feel stuck in their relationships and tell them it’s better to be alone and happy than in a relationship and miserable. I put a lot of pressure on my ex because I felt the weight of societal pressure. I can hold off on the wedding, the kids, and the house until the right man comes along (and I’m sure there are other women who can relate). This year I traveled to 15 Phish shows, went on a roadtrip with a recently single girlfriend, and I feel better than I have in years. I am perfectly content to be single.
If you HAD to adopt a dog today, what breed would you choose?
Awww, I love this question because I (heart) dogs ๐ A beagle, hands down. My parents scored custody of my best friend Linus because they had the backyard and could provide for him in a way I simply couldn’t. But I get visitation rights and I see him as often as possible.

Did you get my tary slip? But let me say again, “PRESENT.”
(placing apple on your desk now)
Here! Here! (dish hand waving from the bottom of the comment list!) Over here!
Hope I made the attendance sheet before the bell…..I went to SAMSCLUB and played with that totally awesome camera yesterday. You know the one you ladies are dying to give me? Me and it were like peas and carrots. Destined.
Anyhoo, Miss Pixie, love the title. Was expecting a Pixie hair-do like mine, but you rock the curls! Must read Sex after the ex. Great catchiness!
We’re almost to the weekend! Man I’ve GOT to get the last halloween post done!!!
Survivied the first day of the kid’s 4 day weekend!
Just checking in, hard, hard day today but things are looking up!
Happy Friday Eve!
It’s been many years since I’ve been single, so this blog is a breath of fresh air!
Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is having a great day!
yes, there are always lessons to learn =)
on my way to your blog. =)
Finally had a minute to check out the featured blogger today, crazy week but looking forward to visiting her site.
Off to check out the FB! Rollcalling super late today!
Yay, I love My Pixie Blog!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

How many items can how many boys forget in one day! Which is why I am stopping by sooo late!
That’s so daring…I dunno if i have the balls to post about sex. I think i will go visit her for a spell.
As a fellow single gal, I can’t wait to check out today’s FB!
This sounds like just what I need to read!
I’m sharing some fun jewelry love and cute ideas for little girls for Christmas! Come for a visit. ๐
Whew! I feel like I’ve been holding my breath until the middle of this week! Not that I had much going on, but a lot was “due” all at once and everything was preventing me from reaching those deadlines! But it is done!
Love the honesty in her blog, but wow the sex would be hard to write about.
Thursdays seem to always be so crazy for me!
Happy Thursday.
Hmm, dunno if I could write about sex on my blog, before or after the ex. Think I’ll just stick to recipes…
As a teacher, my least favorite thing about my profession is the report cards. If only they could do self-evaluations… I work so hard to make every word perfect!
Happy Thursday!
I feel so behind!
“Sex after the ex”? Brave girl!
I am glad to read that others are having trouble catching up. I just cannot keep up with posting, reading & commenting on all the blogs that I follow. I was saving all my SITS posts and when I hit Nov. 1st – after missing most of Oct. – I just deleted them all & said “that is it”! I will post when I can and be grateful for that. Phew – what a weight that has lifted!
Best to all,
Colleen
Her pictures are adorable! I lover her happy smile. I can see why she likes pixie’s.
๐
Yea Charlotte! Good for you.
I applaud you for your honesty, keeping your chin up and getting back in the game. You go Phish-head!
Love, loss and lessons…ugh.. the pain of all of them. Wine please!
I’m loving this dreary rainy Thursday afternoon. I wish I was home in my sweats reading a good book or watching a movie, but oh well. Hope everyone is doing beautifully.
Best to all,
-Victoria D.
Cute header – heading over now to check out the rest. ๐
Go Charlotte!
I like the name of her blog!
Almost the weekend!! Huzzah!
Old as dirt and twice as lively! Yup, that’s me.
Sounds like a great blog… off to visit!
Pixies, fairies, dogs and babies- sounds intriguing!
*love* the pixie theme! and being a new-ish puggle owner, my ehart melts for your beagle!
I’m looking forward to reading more about this blogger. I think the single ladies are a niche of blogs I haven’t checked out before…something I will be sure to remedy today!
Love the header of her blog! Sounds like a fun place to visit!
This little blog is such a nice refreshing corner of the blog world. Thanks for the feature!
What a beautiful featured blog! I love the design!
Still working on getting consistent in the community! Today is the first day I’ve posted in a while.
Have a great Thursday everyone!
Happy Thursday, SITStahs! I hope everyone is having a great week.
Kindest regards,

I would also pick a beagle! They are the cutest!
So sad that my 4 year old was bullied at preschool today. Now I understand that whole “mama bear” thing really well!!!

I admire Charlotte’s bravery for posting about sex…..
Can’t wait to check it out!
Still drowning this week but trying to take a breather and catch up on blogs.
