So far I’ve avoided buying a new Hobonichi planner/cover with the launch. I don’t need one. I might wander over to a local shop and pick up one of their grid notebooks and folder sets next week. My pocketbook will be much happier with that arrangement.

I’ve been enjoying the Hobonichi reveal and these are my current favorites. I just love the mix of pink and red with the flowers. I have the a6 POTR cover from last year (love it!) and I was hoping they’d release it again so I could grab a5 for when I’m carrying my onyx boox around.

I’m at a three day work conference and this is what happens when you ask me to un-package and prepare a bunch of binders for stuffing. A nice hollow hive design 😂

A large pile of black portfolios is stacked on a round table in a conference room with empty chairs and tables.

Starting the morning with two things I love, tai chi and coffee.

A book titled ‘Taijiquán’ by Li Deyin is placed on a wooden table next to a green mug with a cat illustration.

I’m sitting at the local pond, working on my five year journal, while the kids are off swimming 🥰

I’m excited to teach my son web development this year 🤩

Two books titled 'Head First HTML and CSS' and 'Head First JavaScript Programming' are placed side by side on a wooden surface.

My husband took the kids to the last swim meet of the summer session (to save me from another migraine this week). So… today will be filled with catching up in my 5 year journal, finishing part three of my Tai Chi video (part two here), some coding and playing animal crossing 🤩

Movie night with my dad. Tonight is “Invaders from Mars” from 1953

I finished editing the first section of a tai chi form I filmed on vacation. Even though I have no idea what I’m doing, editing-wise, I think it came out pretty good for a first attempt 😂.

One of my kids needs a new phone… so they are inheriting my Fairphone 4 and I’m buying myself a Fairphone 6. I’m really excited. This also means I was successful in my mission of converting my whole little family onto fairphones and e/os. I’ve also managed to get everyone switched over to Signal. 😎
