Sunday Linky Love
2009-01-26 06:59:00 Jessica had quite a postpartum scare this week. Thankfully she’s doing well now. Did you know aluminum foil has a tab to lock the roll in place? I’m not the only one having some trouble with companies not fulfilling their end of the bargain when it comes to marketing on blogs. An 11-year-old wrote this poem? Fantastic! Sarah has ...

2009-01-19 04:17:00 I’m giving away a bundle of SIX workout DVDs over at Weary Parent. There’s lots of good news on the internet this week. I love good news. They removed Peyton’s port. She beat that cancer. Yeah Peyton! Kira is having a girl and we get to see her with that new fangled 3D ultrasound thing. They didn’t have ...

2009-01-05 06:32:00 I’m a little ashamed to admit I spent a little too much time scouring my archives for my recrap, umm…I mean recap of 2008 post and I didn’t have a lot of time for blog surfing. So this week’s Linky Love is a little lean…like how we’ll all be in a few months after following ...

2008-12-28 21:00:00 My favorite Christmas card of the year easily goes to the Spohrs. Love it! Mitch isn’t exactly thrilled with his Wii and Wii Fit. Kelley posted a kick ass egg nog recipe. Cherie interviewed Stephen Viscusi, Author of Bulletproof Your Job. Black Hockey Jesus can now stop pretending every is ok because it finally is ok. Shelly met her teenage ...

2008-12-22 06:25:00 Jennster’s not really a cold weather person. Some schools cancel classes because of the “threat” of snow. Aimee was reminded of a very scary accident she was in while pregnant. Matthew reminds us that the holiday season isn’t about buying stuff. The Queen of Shake Shake began a little Twitiquette Handbook. They’re having a little plumbing issue [which is a ...

Angela is giving away a copy of her book “When I was 13.” I’ve read it. It’s a very good book about Angela’s own experience with teen pregnancy and domestic abuse. You ...

2008-11-23 20:25:00 Lee and I aren’t the only ones celebrating our anniversary in November. Apparently November is a good month to get married. Y and the Pig Hunter celebrated 18 years. Megan of Velveteen Mind celebrated 7 years by telling her fabulous New Orleans wedding story. And Metalia is celebrating 5 years today. Congrats ladies! Sometime our kids ...

2008-11-17 04:32:00 Finally, somebody is listening to frustrated parents. And doing something about it. Amazon introduced frustration-free packaging. Maggie is saving lives with her story on domestic violence. Mr. and Mrs. Flinger celebrated their anniversary this week too. It was their 7th. Happy Anniversary! Looky Daddy! had a perfectly normal day regardless of Prop 8. We miss out on so ...

Sunday Linky Love: Election Edition
2008-11-09 19:54:00 So, did you hear we had an election here in the States last week? Backerella reminded us to vote with patriotic cupcake pops. She makes the most amazing things in that kitchen of hers. I can’t even make chocolate chip cookies without burning the bottoms of at least a dozen of them. Before the election, Neil explains ...

Sundy Linky Love: The Halloween Edition
2008-11-02 20:23:00 You may have noticed the Sunday Linky Love disappeared a few weeks back. I have a list of excuses as long as my left arm as to why, but that’s neither here nor there. (How many clichés can we use in one post?) But don’t fret, ’cause it’s back. (At least for now.) So let’s ...

Sunday Linky Love
2008-09-14 23:17:00 In this week’s political posts… Leah Peah shares why she’s voting for Obama/Biden. Mrs. Schmitty shares a hilarious SNL short. I’m really starting to think Tina Fey and Sarah Palin are the same person. This is exactly my point on Sarah Palin’s work/life balance. This week marked the 7th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedies. Jane Goodwin remembered not being ...

2008-09-08 00:28:00 Scribbit offered her Alaskan view of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin. And Gloria Steinam gave her feminist point of view of Palin. Here’s a list of things Dad Gone Mad will never understand. I’m with him on quite a few of them. Hilarous! The baby’s first crush is on Matt Lauer. You know you’re a grown up when… Did ...

We have a few, like “trees” which is what my kids called broccoli for years. Is John McCain’s VP choice, Sarah Palin, the ultimate working mom or is she biting off more than she can chew?

Sunday Linky Love (double edition)
2008-08-25 07:18:00 Sadly, my friend Lori’s mom passed away very recently. She could really use some cyber-hugs. Speaking of cyber-hugs, Jenn just found out her not-even-four-year-old doberman has cancer. How do you punish a kid for defending God? What are your favorite sounds? Angela has become one us. One of us non-traditional students. As she goes back to school. With her son. White Trash Mom has some tips for new kindergarten moms. From birth to 11 in an hour, but already mouthy as a 16-year-old. Love it. Letters from camp make mom a happy girl. Mourning the loss of the mall Dippin’ Dots. This whole internet thing is really changing parenting as we know it, or as Matthew says “Parenting 2.0.” If she doesn’t get a Flip Video after this letter than those Flip Video people have absolutely no sense of humor. I love it when companies (or restaurants in this case) do the right thing. Yeah, Red Robin. And Crystal’s paying it forward. In fact it’s turned in to an a...

2008-08-11 07:53:00 People are still trying to make moms feel ashamed for breastfeeding in public. What a great letter for the tooth fairy! Admit it. You too have had thoughts of purposely leaving your naughty kids behind at least once in their life, right? Finally, a step-by-step tutorial on how to kill a fly. Oh, I love a good confession. It ...

2008-07-27 22:13:00 DadCentric welcomes two new dads to the mix. He does have a point. BlogHer could be the perfect place to pick up women. What do princess do? I’ve been there. Having no internet can drive a person crazy. It’s amazing to me that people don’t even realize how rude they can be. Did you know it takes 22 times to ...

2008-07-21 07:49:00 Before we get to Sunday Linky Love I want to give two big THANK YOUs to some really great people who went out of their way to help Iowa flood victims. Lance of Dad2Twins who raised $160 on his blog. That money went directly to a young family with two boys who are in desperate need ...

Sunday Linky Love
2008-07-14 00:19:00 Just when i was starting to scream “that dirty bastard…” A little time management tip. What?!? There are people who have never heard of Andrew McCarthy? A conversation with her ass. And her asses response. Apparently Dockers, JC Penneys and TLC Marketing all suck big time. And TLC Marketing’s customer service is really, really bad. Rockstar Mommy is back. Well not really, but sort of. I know some of these Muffia members. And I hate them. I have so been there. In fact I was just there last week. Aren’t kids fun? Always remember your blog can be used against in a court of law. Still looking for a way to help out the Iowa flood victims, buy a t-shirt. © 2004-2008 The Bean Blog - All Rights Reserved.

Sunday Linky Love
2008-07-07 05:38:00 There was not one, but two 4th of July babies in the blogosphere. Momma Says the F Word had a boy just one minute in to the holiday. He’s a cutie patootie. And the Creep has a new baby sister; the Twerp (a.k.a Maggie). A big 9 pound 3 ounce girl. And Metalia finally had some time to tell us her birth story. Cynical Dad is running for congress. With Kermit the Frog as his running mate? I’m not the only one giving hair to Lock of Love. I can barely walk in flip flops so it’s no surprise to me that flip flops cause car accidents. Suburban Scrawl has some fond (well mostly) 4th of July memories. Are you a joiner? Or is the thought of singing “Row Row Row Your Boat” in the pool with a bunch of 2-year-olds like the four corners of hell to you? Instead of spewing more bloggy hate, donate to those in need. Speaking of manners on the internet, some people still don’t get it. Dad Gone Mad is educational? He’s just as shocked as we are. What? Gay marri...

2008-06-30 02:21:00 Have you seen those green bags on TV? Ever wondered if they actually work? Pumpkin Delight tried them out and apparently the green bags do keep produce fresh, but not as long as they claim. A garden to attract humans. This is so true. Why can’t bloggers just get along? I read Dooce, Amalah, Bossy and Mrs. Fussypants and I love them all. And I can assure you they all have their own unique voice. Speaking of fighting within the mommyblogger community, Queen of Spain wrote a great Open Letter to Mommybloggers. With all this fighting I think we could all use a strawberry margarita with a side of humor (and a lot of cursing). Or maybe you like your margaritas frozen…on a stick. Popsicles for adults. Or if you don’t want that much tequila, maybe you want to try out some of the smoothie recipes from our Weary Parent Camp. It’s amazing how different Friday nights are after kids. I joined the itty bitty titty committee a long time ago. Unfortunately I was there even...

Weekend exhaustion, or Why my Sunday Linky Love is late
2008-06-23 12:42:00 It was a long, exhausting weekend.

Here in Iowa, where we are still recovering from the worst flooding ever, we are conserving water. I have to brush my teeth ...

Let?s Give these blogs some linky love!
2008-05-16 00:38:00 There are so many blogs in the world, but I’ll only share with you 5 blogs I’ve just discovered today. Created and Rational - This is a blog created by a theistic evolutionist who has his share of young earth trolls who falsely accuse him of being a “fake Christian”– the result of young earthers being indoctrinated to believe that anyone who won’t comply to their beliefs is of the league of the Devil, never mind such accusations being totally unfounded and above all unbiblical. Splendid Elles - Another Evolutionist site that lately features an article giving out a list of links to blogs well worth visiting. Raptor’s Nest - This author loves to draw dinosaurs. So do I. Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week - Made by Paleontologist Mike Taylor who specializes in studying sauropod vertebra. And finally, there’s Evolve and Rational, a great blog made by an atheist who has his own share of creationist trolls. Take a look at his list of quot...
