April: Links I Love

Ok, what’s the deal with Mother Nature right now? It’s like she’s been perpetually hormonal for the past 7 months and she’s taking it out on us with a consistently inconsistent wrath of precipitation. I had this really swell outfit on today before realizing that it’s basically negative degrees out and pouring rain. Ha, yeah it’s sweats weather.

But, in the spirit of blossoming happiness, this April has stayed true to the whole “April Shower Bring May Flowers” mantra. So, get happy, because May is basically guaranteed to be full of literal blossoms.

Besides getting happy, get all comfy and cozy as you snuggle in for April’s best from the web. There are really (really) smart models, there’s a mindblowingly mindblowing Cirque de Soleil duo, and there’s a very Italian 2-year-old. I swear watching that child was like learning about my own self. With that, here’s all of the above and more.

My other favorite “Link I Love” this month is the connection I made with the lunch lady in the dining hall, who gives me free meals because we’re tight like that. Some links can be more than inspiring – they’re delicious.

I would say “HAPPY SPRING!” but we all know it’s slightly less-than-happy outside. Instead, I’ll give you fellow bloggers and shopowners a 30% off all ad space on Coming Up Roses to book a hot spot in anticipation of a soon-to-be-warmer spring. Use code SPRINGNOW to snag your discount here.

May your Hump Day be merry and bright!

What are the best things you’ve found and loved this month?
