Craving routine 

Craving routine 

No, I didn't ever think I would crave it either. I like to think I'm a free spirit and that the combination of being creative and a multipod means I can just wing it on a daily basis. ("It" being, you know, life, food, work, self-care, all the things.) I genuinely...

How will you develop amazing new habits for 2017?

Are you thinking about Christmas, or making rash promises to yourself about how you will form wonderful life-changing habits in 2017? I hoped that the habit log in my bullet journal would be a year-round winner when it came to new habits. I must confess that it has...

My Hogwarts acceptance letter…

(well, almost as good) Our Harry Potter bundle is finally here! I've had my eye on these glorious notebooks for ages. In fact, since Moleskine first announced they were coming. They are even more beautiful than I imagined! Between bouts of waving my wand around and...

How to put off Christmas planning

How to put off Christmas planning

It's the time of year to find all kind of other things to do rather than face up to planning for Christmas. I should be making a list of people to send Christmas cards to. And then deciding what type of card to send. Will it be an e-card and a donation to charity?...

Cosy Blogging

It's half-past seven on a Monday evening as I type this. One of my kitties is asleep. The other one is sitting next to me meowing sadly at intervals because the laptop isn't very exciting to her; a mouse on a stick would be much more fun. I wasn't quite sure what I...

Can you put Autumn in an envelope?

Can you put Autumn in an envelope?

There's something about autumn days. The nip of cool air in the morning makes me smile in a way that the warm caress of a summer day didn't. Maybe because we expect the weather in this part of the world to be cool and maybe a bit dull. Summer weather is not...

Show us your trick or treat! Our October selection has an appropriately Halloween-ish twist! While most of the contents are the same, one card is random – what will you get? There are some spooky cards and some delightful ones – and we want to see what you got. Share...

The little something we send in the post

The little something we send in the post

It's a first-world problem. What do you give to someone who has everything? - and we're not talking millionaires here. Carla and I always turn to stationery when we're stuck for a gift. We know that our friends have an abundance of lovely things. And we don't want to...

Bullet journalling in a new notebook

Bullet journalling in a new notebook

It's the third week of my bullet journalling efforts and I've finally managed to draw something on a daily page! This week saw me add in a daily 'to cook' section as well as separate out my activities. While I suspect my layout will continue to develop over time this...
