This sweatshirt.

Would you wait four months to get “the greatest hoodie ever made?” (I now must have one, simply because of the hype)

In Harry Potter news: 3 new spinoff movies + Hogwarts online courses now available. This muggle is excited!

Babies trying lemons for the first time. Ha!

Passengers get a treat when new Disney cast belts out “The Circle of Life” before takeoff.

An argument in support of the HIMYM finale (spoilers but it’s been a month, folks, get with it).

Cory & Topanga are back (but what’s up with his nose? Also, I heart Mr. Feeny)!

I cringe hearing wedding toasts but this maid of honor rap takes the cake!

These photos of snails up close are fascinating. The 4th one from the bottom looks like it’s got a face!

As the wife of an entrepreneur, yes.

Hooray for unsung heroes:

A few of my favorite finds from around the web this month:

How to wrangle a fitted sheet. Seriously, why is this always soooooo hard?

Give this kid a cupcake already!

The Milwaukee Brewers added a stray dog to their roster. Adorableness ensues.

The famous voice of the movies has passed away.

Do dogs react to magic?

I love when Humans of New York asks “”If you could give one piece of advice to a large group of people, what would it be?” (here’s one of the best answers)

Soldier carries Flat Stanley for 10 years before returning it to student.

Bruno, the police K9, is getting lots of love while recovering after being shot in line of duty.

I tried my first cronut (cresnut, dossant, whatever you want to call it). Crossants + Donuts + Custard + Strawberries…how is it that these have only just come to be in the last year? I’m hooked.

Happy Friday, friends! I’ll be lounging around this weekend trying to recover from my revolving sickness. Hopefully it’ll be rainy – perfect couch and dog cuddling weather!

Enjoy some of my favorite finds from around the web this month:

Tips for a messy bed. I totally embrace the messy bed look. Must add more layers!

How to save marriage in America.

Seth Cohen married Blair Waldorf. For realsies.

This comfy shirt for work.

Would you have taken Marriage 101 in college? Mumbles and I met when I was a freshman (whoa) so I probably would have. What about a class on being less selfish?

One woman’s posthumous advice for her daughter. Hilarious. This part made me laugh out loud because it’s totally something my dad would advise me to do:

“…always pick up worms off the pavement and put them on the grass. They’re having a bad day, and they’re good for… the earth or something (ask Daddy more about this; am a bit sketchy).”

Mumbles and I are getting started on landscaping. I want this huge slide built into the side of our hill.

A candle that melts into a new candle. Brilliant.

A red thumbs up to this lifesaving idea.

Lauren Conrad’s simple trick for lovelier locks.

Is it possible that all Pixar movies are connected?

A rabbit stampede. Seriously. The cutest thing I’ve ever seen:

Now that I’m back at work and feeling like an adult — ya know, wearing actual clothes instead of my pajamas every day, speaking real words at a normal pitch, joining the mob of commuters in my drive, answering email — I have time to do some things I’ve been missing like listening to the radio (I’ll be honest, for the past three months I’ve had no clue what was on the top charts) and my favorite men of the morning: Kevin and Bean, and also getting back into the routine of checking news sites and reading my favorite blogs.

Here are some fun links from around the web I enjoyed this month:

Good news for coffee lovers.

How cool is this? Chopsticks get a clever new design.

Did you watch the Golden Globes? Emma Thompson was fabulously boozy and here’s what hosts Tina Fey & Amy Poehler think about parenting.

A quick, delicious recipe for Kale Walnut Pesto. Yum!

Need to break out of your shell? So did this chick…

How to ask someone out on a first date.

Would you use an app that sends you a tweet when your kid needs a diaper change?

Watch this college marching band perform ‘Wrecking Ball.’ I love how into it they are. Fantastic.

Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza caught in cahoots on camera. Internet goes wild with speculation.

A rom-com spoof movie starring Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd? I’m in.

Would you eat a Jelly Belly that tastes like craft beer?
