I forgot……

Since my ‘baby’ is 31 I have long forgotten what it’s like to care for toddlers.
I miss the kisses and the hugs. I miss the giggles and smiles. I love my Grandbabies so much!!! But I had completely forgotten everything else that comes with toddlers.
Like…. that high pitch scream because someone took away someone else’s toy. I surprised that only dogs can’t hear it!
Getting out of the house for a walk is a whole production!!! Changing diapers, dressing, socks & shoes, sunscreen and a jacket. Times 3. Wait a minute…. where are your shoes?? (How can they get out of their shoes and socks and hide them all in a matter of 30 seconds?!?) Whew we are out the doo… wait… what is THAT SMELL!??!?!
And a walk isn’t just a walk either! There’s jumping over every crack in the sidewalk, there is smelling all the flowers, pointing to all the cars, waving to all the people….. it’s a wonderful walk that burns off energy… for a while……..then…….. the one in a carrier gets cranky cause she’s hungry… one wants to be carried cause she’s walked to far and the other one sits down because he wants to go further.
Meals. No highchair, no booster equals BIG mess! (And a lot of time with the stain stick!!)
Chubby hands that were, 1 milla-second ago, holding goldfish crackers, will instead feed Nonnie dog food!!
Naptime. Ummm hummm as soon as you get all 3 asleep the UPS or Fed-ex guy WILL ring the doorbell.
My feet are sticking to the floor. I don’t get to pee alone OR with the door shut. I can’t get into the shower without first moving a million toys and WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!?!

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:

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Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.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