#5Faves: Florida Finds

When/if you choose keywords for your posts, place them in the following places: first 70 characters, last 70 characters, sprinkled in between 1-2x, in the description of your photos, in a link, and in a Heading 1 or 2. That makes Google think your post is something special…which it is.

Reading: Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore

Eating: Back on the home-cooking train after a week in FL. Tonight? Carry-out pizza. Oops.

Listening: To my kids scream and cry each and every blessed night. Maybe an hour of bedtime routine and snuggles just isn’t enough. Kill me.

Wearing: Actually looking for a great pair of PJ pants so I can replace the rats I’m wearing right now.

Praying: That I can find a solution to the three-year problem I call bedtime. It’s more than a struggle.
