This is a super cute little book.  With colorful illustrations and wonderful suggestions to ban the binky. Blank pages in the back to write notes to Alice about her journey to ban the binky! There is a chart and star stickers to mark progress.
Alice and I read the Thumbuddy to Love, The Binky Fairy book a couple of times a day. When Alice puts her binky in her mouth I’ll grab the Binky Fairy and say “Alice! The Binky Fairy is watching!!” Alice literally THROWS the binky across the room and runs to grab the fairy doll.  YEA!!!
 
Thumbuddy to Love, The Binky Fairy 5We’ve made progress. Each time Alice gives up the binky she gets a star on one of the pages in the back of this adorable book. If Alice makes it all night minus the binky she gets a star on the chart in the book.
Andrea Van Ness the creator of the Binky Fairy offers suggestions of giving the binkies to new babies. So far, the less favored binkies have been donated. Yes, Alice has had a huge selection of binkies. While we aren’t binky free yet……. we’ve made huge steps in the right direction!!  We don’t get out of the car with the binky. During the day we go longer and longer periods of time without the binky. Alice is also not waking up from her nap with the binky in her mouth!!  Alice is very sticker and binky fairy motivated.

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is a lot like digital archaeology. You head into the archives expecting to dust off a few old tutorials, and you end up unearthing questionable life choices from seven years ago. Between the aggressively over-filtered photos and advice that has aged like room-temperature milk, the past can be… loud.

But lately, I haven’t just been fighting my own cringey archives. I’ve been dealing with a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes, and frankly, its taste in content is terrible. If you’ve noticed things looking a little haunted around here, here is the proof:

  • The Video & Image Vanishing Act: Our resident ghost has been deleting my best images and helpful video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes where vibrant content used to live.
  • The Link Graveyard: In a truly sinister move, the spirit has been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links. (I love peanut butter, but I am not shilling digital coins, I promise!)
  • Font Sabotage: Apparently, this ghost is trapped in 2001 because it keeps reverting my clean, modern text back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

I’m giving my archives a much-needed facelift to keep my blog traffic climbing and my readers happy. If you want to boost your own site’s performance, updating old blog content is the ultimate secret weapon.

Here is my step-by-step exorcism plan:

  1. Exorcise the 404s: I’m running a rigorous broken link checker to track down every dead end, missing video, and broken image this ghost left behind.
  2. Modernize the Recommendations: It’s time to swap out outdated products from years ago for my absolute 2026 essentials.
  3. SEO Deep Clean: I’m updating my metadata and ensuring my focus keywords are strategically placed in the headers and introduction for maximum search engine impact.

Stick Around Please!

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

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway. I promise this one is fully alive, kicking, and ghost-free!

Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, who is turning down free money?
