love her

house share

Since most people don't really appreciate birds living under their roof tiles or shingles, designer Klaas Kuiken made terracotta roof tiles with a bird house built in to accommodate the little guys. 

Pretty great, right? 

hug me

more adorableness here.

can't we all just get along?

Let's be friends just might be the cutest blog ever (aside from this one).

Photos of unusual friendships.

baked

can someone please explain to me why I do not already have stacks of these lovely baking cups from Bake it Pretty in my cabinet? 

hmm, I'm pretty sure no one can, because there is just no good reason.  

Must buy.  

(my 3 month spending hiatus ended about a week ago, but i decided not to make a big deal and see how long I'd last if I just didn't think about it.  I was also curious about what would tempt me out of it, and really thought it would be a dress.  I guess now we know!)

make way for ducklings, Mr President

Remember the book Make Way for Ducklings?  My grandmother (born and bred in Boston) gave it to me and it was one of my favorites.

Well yesterday a mother duck led her ducklings around the White House, and even though there is no sound, the video is adorable.   

on a roll

I am pretty sure this little girl had the best outfit at the White House Easter Egg Roll.  

Actually, I think it might be the best outfit ever.  

check out more adorable photos of cute people having fun here.  

whistler

This little guy is so cute that I may not be able to stop myself from getting another puppy.  

If I don't watch out, I am going to turn into Octo-dog-mom.      

cuteness overload

next time I am in a bad mood I am going to click over to zooborns which tells stories and shows images of rare and endangered animals bred in zoos around the world in efforts to save them.  (isn't this sleeping baby panda the cutest thing you have ever seen?)
