I was shocked NOT to see EasyLunchBoxes in my top 5. First time ever! (No worries, Kelly. You're number 7!)

"creepy halloween food" and "creepy halloween recipes" (and with the words rearranged in other order, like "halloween creepy food") were 3 of my top 5 keyword searches (and 4 out of the top 8.) Which explains the surge in pageviews for my Blood Worms post! The rest of the top 5 posts make sense, since I pimped the heck out of them linked them up to a lot of fun new weekly memes!
Your ideas are so fun! I love the eye spy bento. My kids would go crazy for that. :)
ReplyDeletePretty darned good considering that Bento Blog Network is only 5 weeks old! The site has had over 10,000 hits in those 5 weeks.
ReplyDeleteWow. You remember me! (just getting caught up on your posts. a newborn can be just as destructive to the schedule as a pregnancy!)
ReplyDeleteI'd totally forgotten I made that post. Didn't realize you'd ever see it. good thing I didn't say anything too bad, right?
