Liiiiinks! Get your hot, fresh links here! I’ve got a whole bunch of them today, I found a lot of interesting stuff while cruising the innertubes.

Don’t ask lcreekmo how she managed to grow a Mr. Happy Tomato Face. She just did.

From the fabulous Women’s Health News, a post on Family Leave and the employers who ignore it. This is a must-read for everyone.

I don’t normally get all political here on Love Shak, Baby, but I think this post is too important not to share. Go read about National Security Presidential Directive 51. It’s scary, yo. Really scary.

Back to non-political but still information you need to know, here’s an awesome article on making your milk budget smaller.

Stephanie’s Nolan and my HelloKitty are cut from the same cloth- she once threw away a bunch of toys rather than clean them up. Oy!

Girls are taking over the ranch! Go girls!

To dose or not to dose? Mike’s wondering whether dosing a kid with Benadryl prior to a long plane ride is a good idea or not. My vote? Make sure the kid isn’t the kind of kid who gets jacked up on Benadryl. HelloKitty is one of the kinds of kids who gets jacked up- I only found this out on the long, long ride to Sacramento.

Tennessee Mom has a question I’ve struggled with as well. How do we get the neighbor’s dog to SHUT UP?

And finally, Meredith’s inexpensive Bento solution.

Have a great week, y’all!
