Thoughts On The Header Images??
I’ve been playing with my header images, as I’m sure that some of you may have noticed.
I’m thinking since I’m finally BACK UP and RUNNING I should maybe update the header image.
POOF all gone!
Whaddya’all think? Is this one too cutesy?
Where did THIS one go??
Is this one better? (AFTER I fix that wayward AND)

Or back to the original?
OR do I keep trying? Thoughts??
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- Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.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.

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?
Hey, while you are here you could shop through my link on Amazon, or Walmart.

The one you have on top is my fav! Or the middle one. The snowpeople (is that the right word) I adore, but it doesn’t really showcase the beauty of Sandpoint!

I love the SNOWY TREES!!! You could NOT pay me enough to live up on your mountain…………
BUT it is a beautiful view.
I am thinking ………… SEASONS . .. WINTER ….. SPRING … SUMMER … FALL (PICTURES)
Then you could just save each header and put them up as needed.
Or you could just added different header when ever the mood strikes LOL

Also I gotta say I’m freezing my tushy off today on the mountain.

I like the one you’re using now. But the snowmen are pretty cute, too.

I am so happy that you are back up and running I was worried. I like the second header picture. I love the snowy trees maybe change it for each season?
Connie: The Head Peanut
Thank you Heather. I think a season header is a great idea.
