Happy Anniversary to US!!

25 years ago today all I wanted was someone to go get my Mom and her car keys because I had sooooooooooo changed my mind about getting married!!  But here I sit 25 years later wondering where that many years could have gone?!  DH might just be in trouble AGAIN!!  I think it’s his fault these last 25 years have flown by in a flash!!!    I love you Randy. I can’t imagine my life without you.

I’m Dusting Off Old Posts So Google Notices Me Again

You know that awkward moment when you run into someone you used to talk to every day and they clearly don’t remember your name? That’s basically my relationship with Google right now. So I’m fixing it. 🧹

Lately, I’ve been wandering through my older blog posts like a librarian with a red pen, updating headlines, polishing keywords, and gently reminding Google that yes, I’m still here and still weirdly productive. Updating old posts for SEO is like changing the batteries in your smoke detector. Nothing flashy, but suddenly everything works better.

I’m tightening things up, adding clearer headings, improving readability, and sprinkling in relevant links where they actually make sense. Not keyword soup. Not robotic nonsense. Just good content wearing better shoes.

Speaking of links, if you’re curious why this matters, Google itself has a surprisingly helpful guide on how search works. It’s worth a peek if you like knowing how the internet’s brain ticks.

And while you’re clicking around, this is also me casually pointing you to an internal post or two that needed a glow-up anyway. Old posts deserve love. And traffic. Mostly traffic.

Oh, and if you spot mentions of my monthly $50 Your Way giveaway, that’s not an accident. You’ll find that happy little temptation living in the sidebar. PayPal, Venmo, or gift card. Your choice. Every month. 🎉

So if things look a bit fresher around here, that’s me courting Google with better SEO and a side of charm. Wish me luck. And maybe click something while you’re here.
