I'm a list-loving, book-reading, day-dreaming kind of a woman. The Well-Read Women: a Reader's Journal is pretty much the perfect gift, in my eyes. Seriously, if someone had given me this book, I would think to myself: "wow, they really know me!" My favourite journals are the kind that have prompts and space to create lists. This book has many sections just like that. The majority of the journal has full pages dedicated to single books: where you put in the book title, your rating, your ...

Minted Has the Greeting Cards that I’ve Been Looking for
If you only send out one greeting card a year to your distant friends and family—it's most likely a Christmas Card, am I right? Sending out that one card to let your favourite people know what's been going on with your family over the past year and show them a picture of your family—you'll want to select a quality company to go with. Minted photo Christmas cards come in a ton of different designs with options for fonts, card shapes, font colours and interior designs, too. I can't decide which ...
I love My Dad and His Fancy Pen Habits #FathersDay — Parker Urban Pen #Giveaway $50 ARV Canada Only Ends 06/09
I received a Parker Urban Pen in order to share my honest thoughts with you. My dad will use his Parker Urban Pen (Amazon link) everyday. When I think of fancy pens, I think of my dad. He has always kept a beautiful pen on him, for as long as I can remember. He is someone who likes to keep track of his purchases by using his credit card, or at least he did when I was growing up, before debit cards were around. Before pin #s existed for credit cards, my dad always signed the slips from the ...
Writing in Style: Parker IM Pen
I love to write. That should be pretty obvious, since I regularly update this blog, and my other one. But, what I mean is, I love to write with a pen on paper. I like to feel the weight of a good pen in my hand as I write letters to friends around the world. Since I often write letters so long and so frequently that my hand cramps up with most pens, I turn to the comfortable Parker IM pen. It's not just letters that I like to write, but to-do lists and notes, too. With all the technology out ...
Stationery Finds to Send Love Across the Miles
It's certainly feeling colder out every day. We just drove back to Calgary for the last time, 2 weeks ago for the very last of our belongings that were stored in my brother's basement. It was the perfect time to go because it was still nice outside and the fall scenery was at its best. Between now and Spring, though—it will be nearly impossible to make that same 12 hour (each way) drive to see my friends there. I have some friends overseas that I never get a chance to see, and some friends that ...

5 Essential Writing & Note-Taking Tools for Students & Lifelong Learners from JetPens
Like many things, I believe that you should choose quality over quantity with your writing instruments. I know that many of my readers are hitting the stationery and office supply stores these days for Back to School supplies, but before you do your shopping, read below for my list of suggested products. Don't buy just any box of cheap pens or pencils for your (or your child's) writing needs—I know from years of experience that quality writing instruments make a world of difference when it ...
