Oh, gosh – Google is great at so many things, and creating commercials that make me weep is just one of them. I love their latest, Dear Sophie – even if you aren’t a parent (which I’m… not), it will still make you all warm inside. I totally want to do this for my future baby.
Thanks to my cousin Korin for posting this!
… but equally as cute. Miss my kit kats right now.

A little Sunday silliness for you today: baby kittens and Japanese television, a winning combination in anyone’s book! Aside from the precious little babes, my fave part of this video has to be the weird sound effects they use each time a kitten moves its paws. And of course, the over-the-top squeals coming from the hosts. I wish I knew what they were saying!
Three cheers for the internet, and for Kitten Rescue, who tweeted this vid!
It has been next to impossible to ignore the endless amount of cute childrens (and dogs) Halloween costumes popping up all over the web this month. Bumble bees, spiders, princesses – you name it, I’ve “awwed” at it, and more than likely shared it with my husband, who is approximately 1/4th as excited by them as I. Here’s hoping you’ll find these as tremendously adorable as I do.
First place to this wee little owl.
I’ve never even seen Star Wars and I want to adopt this mini-Leia and R2D2.
Shark baby!
I’ve posted this before, but it’s far too presh to leave out.
Dogs shalt not be excluded…. for they hold some of the most squeal-worthy costumes.
Ladies & gents, her royal highness the Queen of Hearts.
For a little something to brighten your afternoon, watch this proposal. The groom went through the trouble of choreographing an extensive routine with his circus-performing buddies to ask his lady to marry him. Yes, this proposal video is pretty cute, but I still don’t think it tops the way my precious proposed to me. 
I have to admit, guys have it rough these days. Proposals are getting more and more over the top, I pity the man who chooses to go with the tried-and-true “down on one knee during dinner “approach.
Start practicing, Scout…. you’re going to be learning a new trick this summer!
Edited to add: Ummmm, this video has already been trumped. See:
Thank you Laurie!
Kudos to this creative and geeky couple, Darino and Niko, for making a video game wedding invitation. The Mario Brothers-esque game requires viewers to complete the game to get the invitation.
The gamer-geek appropriate packaging for the game:
Very adorable, but I don’t think I could get away with sending something like this. For starters, I think half of my friends are too lazy and/or busy to play a game just to get info about my wedding, and the last time I checked, none of my Grandparents knew what 1337 meant.

And the winner of my favorite Super Bowl ad is…. GOOGLE! You know, the company that doesn’t need any advertising. Their Parisian Love commercial was just the cutest thing I have ever seen.
Maybe it’s because I’m going to Paris in about 90 days and have an infinite love for all things French. Or maybe it’s because I’m in the midst of planning my wedding to a man that I quickly and unexpectedly fell in love with. Or maybe it’s because of the huge role the internet played in our relationship. Whatever it may be, this is “très mignonne.”
Checking your morning e-mail is not always the most pleasant task, but Tuesday morning, I was very excited and surprised to find these darling photos of a cat and a deer in my inbox. They weren’t one of those chain e-mails with “suspicious Photoshopping” written all over them, either. My former boss/colleague/friend/whatevertheappropriatetermis Will forwarded them from a real life friend of a friend who actually witnesses this adorable union in her front yard on the regular. Lucky!
Epitome of cute.
Could you imagine seeing something so sweet in person?
Are you baby crazy? I’m not, or at least I didn’t think I was, until recently when my coworkers began having babies and bringing them into work. I used to be afraid of holding babies – not anymore! If I see one, I wanna hold it. I wanna feed it. I wanna dress it. I wanna rock it to sleep. I don’t want a baby just yet or anything, but something in me has definitely clicked into place and all of the sudden I have a much larger appreciation for little teensy babes and all the cuteness that comes with them. Which is why I’m super excited about this trailer for the upcoming movie Babies that follows the first lives of four babies in four very different locales – Tokyo, Namibia, San Francisco and Mongolia. Even if you’re not into tots, it still looks like it’ll be an educational look at cultural differences (and human similarities) in the early stages of life.

Ah, love.
