Introducing... my 2021 Hobonichi

Planner people are really the ultimate optimists, right?

Look at us all, buying planners after 2020 showed us that we can’t always plan what life is going to look like.

But there’s something that I’m always going to enjoy about it. There’s a ritual to selecting a new planner. To setting it up and carefully inscribing birthdays and holidays. There’s a beautiful faith that life goes on, that we’re going to be here to enjoy it, that we want to honor these days with purpose and distinction.

Or maybe we just like stickers and washi.

Or both. Definitely both.

I still used my Hobonichi Cousin almost daily in 2020, even when I had no outings or appointments or anything to look forward to. This is because I use the daily pages as my journal so that meant this sturdy, beautifully designed book was in my hands a lot.

I did an unboxing video for those who are curious as to what a 2021 Hobonichi looks like: (Don’t judge. I am not a videographer, obviously.)

I’ll do another post in January with how I’ve decided to personalize this but ICYMI, here are some past blog posts about this year’s set up and previous years’ as well.

All These Things That I Love - January 2018

A monthly round up of things that give me life. 

Tea.

I mean, it’s winter. I love the Teavana Joy (found on 50% clearance post-Christmas!) and Stash Christmas blends so much and now it’s the time of year where I hoard them and growl at hubs if I see him brewing himself a cup.

Moisturizers.

Again. Winter, y’all.  I layer on a few different ones from my collection.

I love anything with hyaluronic acid. (Not shown because my tween stole it)

And this lovely oil from Boscia that is apparently also what geishas use. Which is pretty appropriate for me, if you know me at all. lol

And the French use an olive oil liniment for the whole body, so I follow their lead because c’est Francais.

A fresh new planner. Hello lover.

The Good Place!  Julia Kelly and Alexis Anne had been telling me about this and I’m totally hooked now. I’m recommending it to a lot of families, too, because it’s something that could be watched with older kids (obviously, check it out for your kids first.)

I hope everyone's keeping warm and cozy this winter - staying hygge, if you will. 
Are you familiar with the concept of hygge?  Interested?
