LOOKIE!!! I got an award!!!

Versatile blogger
I’m so excited!!  I’ve never gotten a blog award before!!
I was awarded the Versatile Blogger award by Simply Sami’s Thoughts.  Please go visit her blog.

So, now I’m supposed to list 7 things about myself……….

1.  Pink is my favorite color
2. I love zombie movies. Closely followed by girly movies
3. I have 2 kids and a PERFECT Grandbaby
4. I’m addicted to Reese’s Peanut Butter cups (bring me one please)
5. I stay up way to late at night entering giveaways
6. I have a 3 foot doll in my dining room named Mority that I dress up.
7. I like to send random ‘box ‘O crap’ to my kids.

(with broken pens, trash, expired coupons, lone M&M’s and usually 1 random ‘real’ thing)

 Now I’m supposed to choose to give the award to 15 Newly Discovered Blogs.
(I’m hoping this means Newly Discovered Blogs to me! Some of these are well established blogs that I personally just recently came across!)

Updating My SEO Because Even the Internet Needs a Good Declutter

If you’ve been poking around peanutbutterandwhine.com lately and thought, “Huh, something feels different,” congratulations. Your instincts are sharp and possibly paranormal.

I’m deep in the process of updating my SEO. Not the glamorous kind of update where confetti falls and Google personally thanks me, but the gritty, behind-the-scenes kind where old posts get dusted off, links get refreshed, and keywords are gently coaxed into behaving better. Think less makeover montage, more haunted house cleanup.

While revisiting early posts, I discovered something unsettling. Many of the original photos and videos have completely vanished. Not broken links. Not corrupted files. Gone. Poof. Into the digital ether. This can only confirm one thing: peanutbutterandwhine.com is haunted.

There is no other explanation. Sure, it could be old hosting changes, platform migrations, or me being wildly optimistic about my organizational skills a decade ago. But let’s be honest. It’s ghosts. Internet ghosts. Possibly annoyed by my early font choices.

So here I am, updating old posts with new images, clearer formatting, better internal linking, and SEO-friendly structure so Google can finally understand what I’ve been yelling into the void all these years. I’m also making sure posts connect to each other logically, like linking back to my ongoing fun stuff such as the Monthly $50 Your Way Giveaway right here:

Internal links help readers stick around, help search engines crawl the site, and possibly appease the spirits living in my archives.

I’m also adding relevant external links to trustworthy sources, because Google appreciates good neighbors. For example, SEO best practices straight from the pros over at Moz:

The goal isn’t to rewrite history. It’s to make sure my content is still useful, readable, and visible in a world where the internet changes faster than my craft room fills up.

If you stumble across a refreshed post, missing photos, or suspiciously improved clarity, just know it’s intentional. And if something disappears again overnight… I’ll be lighting a sage bundle and updating my alt text.

Stay tuned. The ghosts are watching. 👻
