Did ya hear?? Did ya??

I LOVE Blythe Lipman!! I just spent the last 45 minutes with Blythe on her radio show Baby and Toddler Instructions on Toginet.com. Blythe is on every Wednesday.  The time went so FAST!!! I had so much more to talk about!! You know me…. yap yap yap.

I feel bad I didn’t get to tell you about Choose To Be Nice!! (I’ll have a full blog post very soon!)

Choose To Be Nice is a movement dedicated to inspiring and encouraging kindness. When we slow down and recognize what is nice in ourselves we influence others to do the same.  Ten percent of all sales will go to non-profit organizations whose values align with Choose To Be Nice.

When I wear my Choose to Be Nice t-shirt it is amazing how differently I feel and how my interactions with and among others are much nicer and more meaningful!!  I really REALLY feel this t-shirt WORKS!!  I think people feel compelled as do I to act in a nicer.

So many more companies that I wanted to talk about…. I guess I’ll just have to be Blythe’s guest again.  Insert HUGE grin here.

Thank you for listening!!  What did you think?? How did I do??

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Bust Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is a bit like digital archaeology: you head in to dust the archives and end up unearthing questionable life choices from years ago. Between the over-filtered photos and advice that’s aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud.

The Ghost in the Machine: Lately, I’ve been dealing with a resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine. This digital poltergeist has been causing chaos behind the scenes:

• The Vanishing Act: Deleting images and leaving empty boxes where helpful tutorials used to be.
• The Link Graveyard: Sneakily swapping my trusted brand partners for sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
• Font Sabotage: Reverting my modern, clean text back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

The 2026 Refresh Plan: I’m giving my archives a facelift to keep my blog traffic climbing and my readers happy. Here’s my step-by-step exorcism:

1. Exorcise 404s: Running a broken link checker to find and fix every dead end.
2. Modernize the Recommendations: Swapping outdated 2019 products for my 2026 essentials.
3. SEO Deep Clean: Updating metadata to ensure my focus keywords are in the headers and the introduction for maximum impact.

Stick Around Please

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house, check out these (very much alive) links:

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?

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway—I promise this one is actually alive and kicking!
