CPR

I took an infant CPR class tonight with my soon to be granddaughters parents Selena and Dan.  All I can say is OHMYGOSH how did my babies manage to make it through to adulthood?? According to the books and handouts it’s a complete and total miracle!!
The class touched on poisons and choking, drowning and electrocution, SIDS and car seats.  OHHHHHHHHH holy moly!!  From where you are sitting right now? Do you see all the things that baby can choke on? Poisons?! Lithium batteries were a major poisoning item for babies last year. (I also have the poison control hotline in my cell phone right now……..800-222-1222 put it in yours too… just in case)One more hint… In case it’s been awhile since you’ve been to a class it’s 2 breathes and 30 compressions. It’s universal now… infants to adults as of 2011.  See?? I am so helpful!! Now you go sign up for a class and we can be scared together!!

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 engines like clarity. Readers like faster loading pages. And apparently, ghosts like chaos.

While I’m updating, it’s also a great time to remind you about my monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway, where one lucky winner gets PayPal, Venmo, or a gift card of their choice. You can find all the details right here:

And because Google loves good neighbors, here’s an external resource I actually use when brushing up on SEO basics:

So if you notice posts looking sharper and loading faster, don’t worry. It’s not a haunting.
It’s just me, outsmarting the ghost… one optimized image at a time.
