How do you set monthly intentions in a bullet journal?
I really struggle with setting intentions. I've been finding the monthly intentions page in my bullet journal the most challenging thing to fill in. What do I want from the month ahead? is a question that vexs me. Mostly I want to have crossed lots of things off...
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...
My seasonal bucket list – autumn
I know, with all the autumn themed posts! But it’s one of my favourite times of year, and it’s so very photogenic (when it’s not pouring with rain – a pluviophile I am definitely not!) It was Maddy who first suggested the idea of a seasonal...
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...
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 separating out my activities. While I suspect my layout will continue to...
In which I try a second week of bullet journalling

In which I finally try bullet journaling
I'm clearly not an early adopter. And as regards bullet journalling I'm officially late to the party. Carla has showed me her own journal on several occasions but I've always resisted the urge to try it out. It looked complicated and quite probably beyond...
What a difference 5 minutes makes
I’m sure it’s fairly obvious to regular readers that Annastasia is the organised, systematic one, and I’m the chaotic one that gets stuff done last minute and in a random order. However, a friend recently introduced me to the idea of five minute...
One thing at time #3 – The 10 minute method
You don’t come to this blog to read about cleaning the oven but it was oven cleaning that proved so fruitful during my exploration of ‘do it in 10 minutes’. I hate cleaning the oven and hob. It’s a job I put off doing it until I can’t stand the state of the things...
But it’s sunny outside…
We know how it goes. The sun sines all week long while we're busy at our desk. The weekend rolls around and it's all cloudy skies and rain. You book a few days off work to did over the Brirish summer has gone on holiday ruining your plans to hang out in the...
Spoonies and Stationery – What stationery can mean to the chronic illness community
It isn’t until you become chronically ill that you begin to realise how much the small things can matter. When you struggle to leave the house and your world becomes reduced to the four walls of your bedroom, it can be beyond difficult to keep smiling. For many people...Get featured on our blog!
