Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal. I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup. While revisiting early posts, I discovered something unsettling. Many of the original photos and videos have completely vanished. Not broken links. Not corrupted files. Gone. Poof. Into the digital ether. This can only confirm one thing: peanutbutterandwhine.com is haunted. There is no other explanation. Sure, it could be old hosting changes,…

~Your kids are becoming you… and you don’t like them… but your grandchildren are perfect! ~Going out is good.. Coming home is better! ~When people say you look “Great”… they add “for your age!” ~When you needed the discount, you paid full price. Now you get discounts on everything.. movies, hotels, flights, but you’re too tired to use them. ~You forget names …. but it’s OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!! ~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds. ~You realize you’re never going to be really good at anything … especially golf. ~Your spouse is counting on you to remember things you don’t remember. ~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don’t care to do them anymore. ~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than he does…

Okay maybe it wasn’t really snow but the hail was coming down so hard and so fast it sure looked like snow for a little while! Course…. it was heavier till I grabbed the camera… isn’t that always the way? Weather? Pet? Babies… whatever… grab the camera and “I don’t wanna do it anymore” I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts) Updating old blog content is like digital archaeology—except I’ve unearthed a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine. This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes. If things look a little haunted around here, here is the proof: My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan: Stick Around Please! Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house and banishing spirits, check out these (very much alive) links: Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the…

If EVER there was a craft book that SCREAMED my name it’s this!! I am cracking up just reading the description. I need this book!! Fave Craft site is giving away a copy… go! Sign up!! : ) You’re welcome! You know I’m always looking for cool stuff for you! You might be able to tell by the title of Amy Sedaris’s new book that she’s not clambering to become the next Martha Stewart. In fact, her goal in Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People seems to be to poke fun at the crafting community. Readers may be offended by the implicit sexual remarks and drawings included in the chapter on “fornicrafting,” the graphic images in the craft safety section, and the chapter on Crafting for Jesus, but crafters with a dry sense of humor who are comfortable laughing at themselves will love the clever writing and colorful photo spreads. If you’re a fan of Amy Sedaris, you’ll love this…
