Daily writing promptWhat brands do you associate with?View all responses I'm not loyal to any brands in particular. I kind of enjoy trying different brands. Of course, it's harder to try more expensive brands, but when I can afford it, I'll give them a try. Having said that, I definitely have a weakness for notebooks,... Continue Reading →
This was my second year using the Hobonichi Weeks as my reading planner. The year before, I used a traveler's notebook size, which was the perfect size for me, but I had a hard time finding inserts for my notebook cover. After two years in the Weeks, I wanted to go slightly bigger. On the... Continue Reading →
It's been a busy month. I've got a couple of book reviews to post and a few books to read before the end of the month. I think I might only be able to get through two more books. Daughter started swim meets and I think that's what put me behind. Anyway, here's the March... Continue Reading →
If you know me, you'll know that I can't resist a beautiful leather notebook cover for my notebooks. I ordered this one for myself for Mother's Day. It's an A6 size in the No. 10 style (which is a button closure) in the Secret Garden line and in the color rose, a pretty brilliant pink.... Continue Reading →
I've been trying to spend more time in my bujo (bullet journal). I don't often complete a journal thoroughly, but this year, I plan to. However, I did make that one mistake of using gesso on my weekly pages and that slowed down my process. These pages I'm sharing are only of the fun stuff,... Continue Reading →

Initially, I avoided the Weeks because I thought it was too small. I needed the space, especially in the... Continue Reading →
I think this is my most exciting unboxing. I've been wanting the April leather for a year now. It originally came out in 2022 but was sold out quickly and I wasn't quick enough to grab myself one. Chic Sparrow brought it back and I made the move. Here's the unboxing. Photos are below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMUrrlDpQnY
Daily writing promptDo you have any collections?View all responses I believe it was in 2015 that I bought my first traveler's notebook, a Midori. This one notebook cover led to many others, and suddenly, I became a collector. As a kid, I collected stickers, and in my twenties and thirties, I collected lipsticks and perfumes,...

Last time I posted, my youngest daughter hadn't started school yet. Now, she's already two and half months in and coming upon her first PSATNMSQT test. Last year she took the PSAT, which was required by the school for the all the students to take. This year she qualified for the PSATNMSQT. Can you believe... Continue Reading →
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DczGDUDkFU I'm so excited to finally have this beautiful leather notebook cover in my hands! I ordered it early in February, and because this is a small business owned by Monique (aka Lady Falcon) and Martijn in the Netherlands, I expected some wait time. The company is called Falcon Travelers and they make leather traveler's... Continue Reading →
