Censorship Fish Does Not Approve of Your Canoodling

MelBivDevoe






Censorship Fish would also not approve of this first link. This is one skeevy way to pick up chicks, but if, oh, Ryan Gosling tried this approach on me? It would WORK. (Celebitchy)

Didja catch the "How I Met Your Mother" season finale this week?  Are you left with lots of burning questions, like, for example, "Whaaaaat??" Perhaps this interview with co-creator Craig Thomas can ease your mind. (Vulture)

Speaking of mothers, I'm not 100% certain I want to be one someday.  (Awkward segue achieved!)  The author of this think piece has long known she'll never be one, and she hopes you'll respect her decision.  (CNN)

Honeysuckle Breastmilk Storage Bags: Mother Earth Likey?

Dixie





Last week I discussed how middling the Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags are. Since they are unfortunately so readily available you might be asking, "Dixie, what the hell am I supposed to store my milk in?! I worked hard for this stuff, yo." Fear not, ladies and partners passing this article on to nursing mothers, I am about to tell you about an excellent bag. One that doesn't chip when you give it a cross look.

And that bag is? Honeysuckle Breastmilk Storage Bags! I learned about these bags from a friend on Facebook, and I am so grateful she posted about them. Since I switched to the Honeysuckle bags, I have not had a single problem with chipping and leakage. Overall, the plastic that the bags are made from is just better quality than the Lansinoh ones and it's biodegradable, which makes my inner Earth Mother very happy.

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk. Wait...the Opposite of That: Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags

Dixie





Ladies, nursing mothers, you work hard for that liquid white gold and you want to store it away for future feelings, maybe when you're dead tired and it's time for your partner to give the baby a bottle (hint, hint, partners). So, what do you use? 

Jars are fantastic, but if you're a klutz like me maybe using your sleep-deprived hands to grab a glass container isn't a good idea. Plastic storage containers? Also great, but you might end up buying an ass-ton of them, and not only is that expensive but it takes up a hell of a lot of room. Right, then. Bags it is...and bags it was for me for eleven months of pumping. 

ELEVEN MONTHS. My poor boobs.
