Two of My Favorite Things

Anyone who knows me knows that I like notebooks. A lot of people who know me know that I like quotes. And when these two things come together I am a very happy camper.

Mara-Mi makes amazing stationery. Typically I  buy it at Marshalls or at TJ Maxx because those are the only stores near me that sell them. I bought one of their notebooks once because I liked the quote on the cover. (It was a Steve Job’s quote about loving your job.) And then I could never find the notebooks again. I hadn’t bought more when I bought the first one because I wasn’t sure what I would use the notebook for and didn’t want to have too many laying around. Once I started using the notebook for my work journal I couldn’t believe I hadn’t bought more, and I wasn’t sure what to do now that I couldn’t find them.

And then on one of several recent shopping adventures, there were the notebooks. And they kept appearing at TJ Maxx and Marshalls again and again and again. And I kept buying them. (I now own somewhere between eight and ten.) In fact, the only reason I stopped buying them is because my mom asked me “please no more notebooks.”

I love these notebooks. I love the size. I love the covers. I love the paper. I love using them as my work journals. And someday, I’ll pick up some more.
