Pssttt….. over here………
I just want to remind everyone about the giveaways here on Peanut Butter and Whine.
First the Aluminyze giveaway. Aluminyze is an AWESOME way to show off your photo! I can’t tell you the compliments I’ve gotten on mine!!
A wedding picture, anniversary gift, a pet! The possibilities are endless!! The 11×14 can be a table top picture or there is a hook for hanging on the wall.
K… now… get over there and enter that one!! It ends soon!!
Second going to a Christening? Baptism? or just need a perfect gift for that Angelic baby!? Then have I got a giveaway for you!!!! Sue Berk Designs Did I mention there were RHINESTONES!??!?!? HELLO!!! Adorable baby…. rhinestones and the sweetest sentiments too!!
Third The Drain Claw…. ewwwwwwwwwww you can’t believe the stuff I got out of my own drain. NO I will not be coming to your house and use the Drain Claw…. one gross-out per blogger!
Reminder all of the giveaways I have are located to the right…. ———> and scroll…. see?? Ahhhh aren’t I just the most organized … okay fine…I know the arrow doesn’t line up…. so…instead…… aren’t I just as helpful as can be?? That’s better. (I soooooo knew that organized crack wasn’t gonna cut it!!)
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, platform migrations, or me being wildly optimistic about my organizational skills a decade ago. But let’s be honest. It’s ghosts. Internet ghosts. Possibly annoyed by my early font choices.
So here I am, updating old posts with new images, clearer formatting, better internal linking, and SEO-friendly structure so Google can finally understand what I’ve been yelling into the void all these years. I’m also making sure posts connect to each other logically, like linking back to my ongoing fun stuff such as the Monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway right here:
👉 https://peanutbutterandwhine.com
Internal links help readers stick around, help search engines crawl the site, and possibly appease the spirits living in my archives.
I’m also adding relevant external links to trustworthy sources, because Google appreciates good neighbors. For example, SEO best practices straight from the pros over at Moz:
👉 https://moz.com/learn/seo
The goal isn’t to rewrite history. It’s to make sure my content is still useful, readable, and visible in a world where the internet changes faster than my craft room fills up.
If you stumble across a refreshed post, missing photos, or suspiciously improved clarity, just know it’s intentional. And if something disappears again overnight… I’ll be lighting a sage bundle and updating my alt text.
Stay tuned. The ghosts are watching. 👻

I love your giveaways, though I cannot join it due to some restrictions. I love reading them. Just like doing window shopping through your blog.
By the way, grabbed your badge. It’s just so cute!

Samantha, Thank you for grabbing my button!
About restrictions, I’m so sorry to hear that you can’t join!!
Restrictions are only put on certain giveaways. Sponsors request that pages be visited first or Facebook be joined.
Since they are supplying the great prizes …. wellllllll. (how do I type a squiggly face?)
If it’s facebook thing have you thought of just making a page just for giveaways?
I am so glad you come and visit!! Thank you for the comments!
