My Anti-Planner
I love watching YouTube videos that show planners and bullet journals being set up and filled in. I kept a long-hand journal from about age 10 to age 30, and I always expected to return to journaling someday. Since that

Fitbit: 6 Months Later
I’ve had my Fitbit over 6 months now so it’s time for a second review. Is it going to stay the course? Gadget Fun Factor: Is the Fitbit fun to own? You bet! It’s fun to look around a room

These Are a Few of My Favourite Things
I bet I’m not alone in being a blogger who loves office supplies. I can hardly imagine life without file folders, paper clips and Post-It notes. I like office accessories far more than I like fashion accessories! Despite keeping most
