Lovely Web Links: Issue 110

It's been a lovely, low-key week around these parts. Nate and I marathon-watched the final season of How I Met Your Mother (so good, right?); I Skyped with a couple of my best friends from Canada; Ford was adorable and charming, as always (proof here, here, and here); and we booked a mini vacation to Texas at the end of the month! I'm excited for a few days off of work and little getaway with the family.
Hope you've had a lovely week too. Thanks, as always, for reading.
I've been wanting to add a "related posts" widget on my blog, but haven't been happy with the options out there that either require sign-up or branding. Thankfully, Code It Pretty has a fantastic tutorial on how to do it yourself! You can see it in action on any post page. (If you're viewing this in a reader or on the homepage, click here to go directly to this post.)
