So I had an idea!!
So I had this great idea….. I want to try a whole year (ROFLMAO! did I actually say that out loud??) of a REAL picture for my blog. You know I always include a picture that I think goes with my “post of the day” WELLLLLLL what if I could find something in the house…… in the neighborhood……. in my scrapbook that would work? Could I do it? I dunno… I wanna try. Sooooooo let’s start with today.
DH had his appointment for the heart doctor.. (ahhh tooo easy!! Picture of DH with HEARTS! I love to collect heart shapes. These are nature made heart rocks). We are a go for the paddles. (or in medical terms: Automated external defibrillator. We are waiting for the hospital to call with our check in day and time.
So we came home and sat down to watch some some of our DVR stuff and we heard a whistling noise… that came FROM the TV! Smell BAD!! TV .. oh wait.. Hey Zac.. that TV we borrowed… ummmmmmmmm well, we need to talk.
Okay sooo don’t get all excited by today’s flurry of pictures..it’s new and shiny. From here on I’m hoping for one REAL picture a day. Wish me luck! Now.. it’s SOUP!!
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:
👉 https://peanutbutterandwhine.com
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. 👻
