      I know I have told you before I’m a girly girl. I love perfumes, lotions, bath washes, fancy soaps…… all of it!!  I have found THE site that molds all those things together!!  Bath House Soaps  What I really love about Bath House Soaps has every color of soap you can want!

Bath House Soaps with scents for everybody (or soaps with no scent at all) manly scents and very feminine scents and even kid friendly scents!

  • Blast from the past Very First post!

    Here is my very first post dated July 1, 2009. WOW a lot has changed!  I now have 3 perfect Grandbabies!  I no longer work as a receptionist.  Now I babysit full time. Somethings stayed exactly the same…. I still can’t handle stress without eating. I still could easily eat a 1lb bag of peanut butter M&M’s at one sitting.  (Notice how I am now avoiding all mention of dieting!??!  Yea….. oh well, 2013 is a new year right??) Let’s get this party started!! Hello! As you may have read from my bio my name is Connie. I’m 51. Married mother of 3. First time Grandma with 1 absolutely PERFECT Granddaughter. I work full time as a receptionist for an optometrist in Escondido. With each of the different hats I wear I have stress that I need to learn to manage without using food. (I have that management skill mastered! )51 brought along menopause (okay seriously! I can have a hot-flash and a pimple at the same time? How is that fair!??) I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism a couple of years ago which makes me feel sluggish and tired all the time. My wonderful husband brings his own type of…

  • Ellen’s Scare Montage! Dare you not to laugh!!

    I truly hope you will keep this post because, seriously, no matter HOW bad your day is THIS WILL MAKE it better!!  If walls could talk, my blog would whisper, “It wasn’t me.” Because somehow, somewhere between coffee refills and letting the dog out, the Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine keeps sneaking in and removing pictures and videos. I don’t delete them. I would remember that. I am a responsible adult who double-checks things. And yet… photos vanish. Videos evaporate. Blog posts wake up looking underdressed, like they forgot their pants. Cue dramatic music. After the fifth “Where did that image go?” moment, I decided to stop fighting the paranormal and use it as an opportunity. If the ghost insists on rearranging my content, then I’m going to roll up my sleeves and improve my SEO score while I’m at it. Because if I’m re-uploading images anyway, they might as well have proper file names, alt text, and sizes that don’t make Google sigh heavily. Videos? Optimized. Old posts? Updated. Keywords? Polished like they’re heading to prom. SEO updates aren’t glamorous. No one brings a casserole when you rename image files from IMG_8472.jpg to ghost-proof-blog-photo.jpg. But they matter. Search…
