Baby Blocks

My new project for the baby shower decorations is Baby Blocks. DH cut blocks for me after which I spray-painted them a pretty soft green….. you know…. the colors of the baby’s room… UMMMM HUMMMM until the colors were changed last week to Brown and Pink.

I’m thinking I will lightly stain the corners of the blocks in pinks and browns (we’ll see what kind of a mess I can make with those!!)

So these aren’t done…. just in progress.

I saw the cutest idea with paper dolls and blocks so the blocks have letters, dogs, paw prints, hearts and paper dolls! So here is what I have finished so far. (some of the blocks are still wet from the decoupage so the block colors look a little dull right now.) Now trying to decide what I want to write with the blocks (These are table decorations for the baby shower)

Now my 3 beautiful children will be here together for the shower…. when they are together, I KNOW already with no uncertain terms the blocks will not spell out what I have them spell ….. but for the first few minutes this will be a cute decoration. Hummmmmm note to self: hide the u and f blocks. BTW anyone have 50 empty baby food jars I can have for the shower?? I’ll come get ’em!

One last BTW… please notice my poinsettias are still alive!! It’s March 24! How impressed are you!? Cause I’m in shock!!

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:

• The Vanishing Act: The ghost keeps deleting my best images and video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes.
• The Link Graveyard: It’s been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
• Font Sabotage: Apparently trapped in 2001, it keeps reverting my clean layout back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan:

1. Exorcise the 404s: Running a broken link checker to track down every dead end and missing image.
2. Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.
3. SEO Deep Clean: Refreshing metadata and strategically placing focus keywords.

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 sidebar for my current giveaway. I promise this one is fully alive, kicking, and ghost-free!

Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, who is turning down free money?

Hey, while you are here you could shop through my link on Amazon, or Walmart.
