BeeBear 2 Review @OddIntMedia

Cute book alert!! Back in July of 2013 Alice and I reviewed BEEBEAR an adorable book written by Ross C. Follett and Illustrated by Lee Sievers.  We still enjoy reading BEEBEAR together, it is a timeless book. BEEBEAR2 is a book that is full of engaging rhymes. Alice requests both of these books over and over!!  That makes these books keepers!

Alice and I are thrilled to review BEEBEAR2!!  Author Ross C. Follett and illustrator Lee Sievers have done it again!!  Super cute book. Alice loves the adventure on each page. This will be a great book for years to come. Especially when Alice starts to read, she will be able to read this one to me! 

BEEBEAR2 is an adventure in words. One little bee and one big bear each have an opinion about the same adventure. Each one sees the event differently, just like Alice and Nonnie see the adventure differently.  Awesome chance for Alice and I to discuss how we see the adventure.

The illustrations are adorable!! Bright, colorful and loveable!!

We truly love Beebear 2.  You will be absolutely pleased adding BEEBEAR2 to your child’s library.

This is a hardcover book.  The book is the perfect size for little hands.  7.1″ x 6.7″

Find Beebear 2 on Amazon, (Amazon Prime eligible) 

Alice and I give BEEBEAR2 four thumbs WAY UP, for this adorable book!!

Refreshing My Old Blog Posts: The Good, The Bad, and The 404s

Updating an old blog post is a lot like an archaeological dig. You head in expecting a quick “dusting” of the archives and end up unearthing a series of questionable life choices from 2014. From over-filtered photos to advice that didn’t age quite as well as a fine cheddar, the past can be… loud.

I recently opened a “quick update” on an old favorite, only to find a digital wasteland:

• Missing Images: Key tutorial steps that now require “extreme imagination” because the hosting site vanished.
• The Dead Link Graveyard: Half my former brand partners have apparently rebranded as “AI Crypto Collectives” or simply ceased to exist.
• Antique Fonts: We’re talking styles that haven’t been cool since the dial-up era and look like they belong on a Geocities fan page.

Why I’m Optimizing This Blog

It’s not just about vanity; it’s about SEO survival. While I might be cringing at my old writing style, fixing broken links and updating keywords is like whispering “Pick me!” directly into Google’s ear.

When I refresh this content, the site runs faster, the “404 Not Found” errors disappear, and the search engine gods are finally appeased. I’m not spiraling into a mid-blog crisis; I’m just clearing out the blog ghosts to make room for new traffic.

How I Am Giving My Content a Facelift

I’m sitting on a mountain of old posts, here is the “Peanut Butter and Whine” guide to a quick refresh:

1. Killing the 404s: I’m using a plugin to find dead links and point them somewhere useful.
2. Update the “Now”: If I mentioned a product from five years ago, I’m trying to swap it for the 2026 version.
3. Spruce up the Metadata: Making sure my Focus Keyword (like “blog”) is in the headers and the first paragraph.

While You’re Here…

Don’t let your visit be a “one and done!” Since I’m already tidying up the place, why not stay a while?

• Win Big: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway—I promise this one is actually alive and kicking!
• Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, why wouldn’t you take the free money?
