Oh hell! I forgot all about the Linky Roundup yet again.

I haven't done a link roundup in months.  So much for that goal of doing it weekly.

I'm going to attempt to play catch up, but this may take a while.  I'm just going to shove them all in here.  Feel free to follow along.

This Valentine is oh so funny.

I saw this today and had to share. It made me laugh.

$10 from any flower order on this page goes towards the March of Dimes.

This song by Jenny Owne Youngs has been on repeat at my house lately




This link about fonts/typeface cracked me up.

This showed up in my feed thanks to a friend and I had to share.  We had a round of ThunderSnowSleet last week (which prompted a number of "Thunder cat" references from my friends on FB).

These Feathery Owl Balls are adorable.

Shalom Sesame now has a YouTube channel.

I strongly disagree with this woman's conclusion.  Why I'm Passionate About Education.  I disagree with her on both points.  I do NOT believe a Classical or Christian education is the best for all or even most children.

All breastfeeding mothers should save the link to the Infant Risk Center.  Despite what many doctors and pharmacists may tell you, the vast majority of medications are safe for the breastfeeding mother.  Visit that link to check on the safety of a specific medication.  Dr. Thomas Hale is the foremost authority on medications and breastmilk.  Yes, he DOES know more than your doctor or your pharmacist.

The Lil' Vader VW ad is stirring a great discussion on gender.  FTR, I believe, based on what we're shown in the commercial, that Lil' Vader is supposed to be a girl.

Now that my youngest is potty training, I can ditch the diaper bag once and for all.  Now I'm on the hunt for a new handbag.  While these two ad Mod Cloth are beyond my budget, I love them anyway; Traveling Translator Tote and the Traveling Translator Satchel.

I love this Fairy Parade 3 Panel Wall Art for the new place.

This website is oddly hypnotizing.  Move your mouse around and see what happens.  Keep going.  It just keeps changing.

I love these library posters on Flickr.

I suddenly had to urge to go find this blast from past.  I'm so glad YouTube exists.

I want this A Latte A Day kit.

Stories About Girls: Picture Books   There are a number of books there I want to find for my kids.

I've never seen this show, but I appreciated the discussion on "The Talk" about breastfeeding laws.  FTR, when my twins were in the NICU and I pumped, my pump said, "Hoover Dam."

Republicans Vote To Repeal Obama-Backed Bill That Would Destroy Asteroid Headed For Earth   I love the Onion.

We've had a bit of snow, so I loved these alternatives to snowmen.  Thanks Ohhdeedoh.  The snow melted before I could finish my snow Totoro.

I've been playing this song quite a bit lately. It reminds me so much of my husband.

"We can always look back on what we did,
always memory of you and me, baby.
Right now it's you and me forever girl.
You know we could do better than
anything that we did.
You know that you and me
we could do anything"

Oh Failbook!

I love giraffes and herd the goat rodeo, so of course I want this shirt and I want one for each of my children.

On Happy Meals and marketing.
"So, if advertising to young children is inherently deceptive, and deceptive advertising is illegal under federal law and in most states, how is it even happening? And doesn't this mean that not just food, but all marketing to young children is currently illegal? I get this question a lot. The answer is yes. "

I want these Metro Marvel Comic Wall Murals.

I want to try to make these wire bird nests.

My son loves ties, so I really want to make this simple Tie Rack for him.

This blog entry on cruelty really got my attention.  I'm often astounded by the amount of cruelty I see in comment threads.  This has lead me to insist that comment threads are where common sense and humanity go to die.

I'm still undecided about how to decorate once we move, but I LOVE this nursery.  I'm saving it for possible inspiration for the toddler.

This recycled book page bird is SO cute.  I want to make a bunch and hang them all over my youngest's room (and mine too).
