Strollers

I spent today looking at strollers for my Granddaughter Alice. I need one here since Alice will be here all day with Nonnie & Poppy. I will eventually put her down… I will eventually take her out of the snuggli. (I think I will anyway!)
It’s been a LONG time since I shopped for a stroller! My kids (34 years ago) had those flimsy umbrella strollers that you could close up one handed mid-air like Luke Skywalker snapping his light saber open! They weighed nothing…. and didn’t support your baby very well either.  Looking back my kids didn’t look very comfortable!! (Bad parent moment!!)
Let’s not dwell on that…. guilt is only good when I’m doing it after all!
Criteria I have in mind (that I didn’t even know I had before I started shopping!)
First it can’t break the bank! I have 3 grandbabies afterall…
I’m really liking the strollers that have a place for a water bottle and a compartment for keys and change.
I like the all terain strollers with the larger tires so we can go on the dirt roads and the walking path around the lake.
A canopy that moves. I don’t want to be the one to let Alice go home with a sunburn! Noooooooooo! That would be a BAD Nonnie!
This stroller has to work for an infant! Alice is only a month old!
So here are 3 strollers I’ve been looking at:

Last one is the GoGo Babyz. This one has a kick stand so the stroller doesn’t get accidentally tipped over. (You haven’t met Gracie… it could happen… unless this is Selena or Dan reading this… then IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!)

Mostly all these strollers are starting to look alike.  So moms out there…… do you have a jogging stroller you love?? What other MUST have’s should I be on the look out for??

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:

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. 👻
