I have started using the little timeline on the left side of the Hobonichi techo cousin more extensively throughout this year. Complete with color-coding, which looks rather pretty, as a bonus. I suppose it’s my version of time blocking, which is all the rage…
We had a half-Staycation / half-normal (nonworking) weekend. Our nanny dropped the kids off at 8am on Sunday as planned — we had two (!) kid-free nights and days, and that was about right. It was a nice treat — we went out to…
