Read More Disappointing Reads & DNFS of 2025I had the same expectations going into The Cinnamon Bun Book Store as I had for The Pumpkin Spice Cafe.

Read More November 2025 Wrap UpI have been loyal to Happy Planner for years. Since college if I’m remembering correctly. But I ran across this Colibri Planner on Facebook and it looked like it was everything I needed in one place. It’s called The Works, which brings to mind my nachos order at the local drive inn theater, but I […]
