There is a ton of interest in the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair, and for good reason. This versatile, attractive and well-made high chair is one of the best baby products on the market. Many parents have questions about the ins and outs of the Stokke Tripp Trapp, and in this post I’ll go over…
In an ideal world, all of our children would love to go to school, love to learn, love to work on their reading comprehension and writing skills, and be effortlessly talented with numbers. As a parent, it’s natural to wonder how to get your child interested in school. In reality, kids sometimes dislike studying. And there…
If you have a young kid, you know the appeal of superheroes. In this gift guide I’ll go over the best Spiderman toys for the superhero fan in your life. Spiderman ranks as one of the all-time classics. Kids today are just as into Spiderman as they were decades ago, so it’s no surprise that…
This weekend it struck me: My daughter, who is just a year old, will never know a world where there hasn’t been a woman in the White House. And until the age of 41, I’ve never known a world where there has. My kids will never live in a country where there hasn’t been a…

Now and again I make a little hobby of checking out the search terms that people use to find my blog. It’s illuminating and also disturbing, this peek behind the curtains, much like a colonoscopy.
I’ll say this right off the bat: It would be impossible not to notice that a disproportionate number of the search terms leading to me involve boobs. I don’t consider cleavage to be one of my signature topics, but who am I to argue with the internet?
The search terms that are directing traffic my way should probably make me consider that I may be reaching the wrong target audience with the blog. It seems that my mom blog is getting mistaken for erotica. Huh. I’m either doing something wrong or something very, very right. It’s all about perspective, people.
Thanks! Ineeded that laugh this morning!!
That’s what I’m here for Joanne, that’s what I’m here for. Me and all the internet creeps.
Google search: “Liz so funny knew her before she had boobs”
Oh man I would LOVE it if I discovered this under my search terms! Haha!
Having had a blog in the past, I was always curious how people got there, and would see these crazy search terms. This is hiarious, love it! Great laugh for the AM! 🙂
Thanks Evi! Yeah I had no idea about this until I started the blog. It’s a little side bonus for me…
laughed so hard, I cried a little.
Nice! I sometimes cry when I laugh, but it’s better than when I was younger, because in my youth I would routinely pee when I laughed. So much so that when I would visit my funny friend Mary’s house my mom would line the backseat of our car with newspaper so that I wouldn’t get the seats wet with my urine on the ride home.
Ha! So the google search demonstrates, to me, that you have an eclectic audience.. Nothing wrong with diversity, But can people keep it clean… There are some creepy interesting people out there. Glad you are telling them how it is, laughed the entire time..thanks!
That’s right Lulu, we are all about diversity here at A Mothership Down!
Oh man, I giggled. Perhaps also because I do search marketing IRL for my job. Fun fact – many of these people likely came from search engines other than Google (like Bing! or Yahoo!), because the Googs no longer shares keyword data with us common folk if whoever was searching was signed into their Google account. Or searching with secure settings. So anyway, think about who actually uses Bing.
Now that you know way more than you wanted to about search, please go back to your laughing.
Casey, this was a far more informative comment than I ever could have dreamed of. Maybe my new tagline will be “A Mothership Down – A Place to Learn and Laugh.” 🙂
Oh and also – I have no idea what Bing is! It’s hard for me to remember I run a blog, since the internet is continuously so confusing to me.
The internet constantly confuses us all. Even us “professionals.”
These are hysterical… I had no idea you could get this information and I agree it is both funny and creepy at the same time! I will continue to tell everyone I know about your blog so that they don’t have to use creepy search terms to find it! Also, thanks for the search info lesson Casey… my work browser reroutes automatically to Bing! and it’s super annoying!
I kind of want to go the other way with this, which is to start peppering more of my posts with creepy phrases and innuendos in hopes of having more weirdos stumble upon me when they enter their creepy search terms…
Haha! You could just add a section to the end of every post… call it something like “creepy corner” and just put random funny/creepy words but be sure to include “gotchya!” as one of them… you know, so the creeps understand what’s going on!
Yes! I will try to apprehend creeps like they do on the TV show where they have the reporter show up to bust guys who think they’re meeting with under age girls. I’m turning this blog into a sting operation.
The internet constantly confuses us all. Even us “professionals.” And Mer, I can show you how to change that if you want…
Thanks for the giggles this morning! Good way to start my day 🙂
On behalf of myself and the weirdo searching for “living in your eyeball”, you’re welcome.
Reading your recollection about “funny friend Mary’s house,” I think we all should live life so our epitaph reads, “Laughed til I peed.”
HAHAAH!!! I think l might laugh til I pee!
Ah, internet… You’re so weird.
