Totoro is pretty much the nicest, most helpful neighbor you could have.

I imagine it would take a tremendous effort to restrain myself enough to get chips onto these little trees without eating them all first. Let's just say that's possible and move on. Any party with chip trees is probably the best party ever. Please invite me.

I'm not sure why a sentient lump of tofu is interested in holding my phone for me but here you go, buddy, go nuts.

Thank you, little plastic man, for bearing the burden of my social networks, Netflix, Pandora, Angry Birds and Texts From Last Night. I know it's a lot to handle.

Now Hello Kitty can be a nerd with your glasses while you sleep. You don't mind do you?

I'm a sucker for old school ceramic match strikers. Updated for our modern nostalgia!

You always wanted to be a space ranger, this is one step closer!

My desk can never have enough rainbows, must have more cute!

Aww, she can even make hipsters lovable.

This cake makes me think of the book "Afternoon of the Elves" by Janet Talyor Lisle which I read when I was only 11. It's reminiscent of a girl in boots that are too big who spends all her time building houses for elves out of leaves in her back yard. But now she's all grown up and getting married to an equally elvin man and they are having a simple barefoot wedding in the woods.
