Remember that resolution you made back on January 1? Mine was to read more books — real books, and not something on my phone.
I’ve never been a big diary/journal keeper, but this reading log and journal might help me turn my resolution into a habit. This colorful log features dedicated space for reading goals, a reading tracker, book reviews, book club meetings, favorite book lists, and a to-read list. It has everything I’m looking for to track and reflect upon my reading.
This Book Lovers Reading Log and Journal from Erin Condren is $22.50.

Reposting from earlier page:
Are blackout curtains necessary for a nursery? I ordered Wirecutter’s top rec for blackout curtains which arrived today and they don’t seem that great. We have giant windows in the nursery, with transom windows (? not sure if this is the term, but square windows above our regular windows) so I don’t have a great way to add blinds that would cover the entire set of windows. Open to blackout curtain suggestions (need the length to be ~120″) OR if this will be no big deal, please tell me that too please (: Baby #1 due in 3 weeks
Not sure why you’d buy something like this when you can log everything for free on Goodreads.
Tomorrow is April fools. Any good jokes or pranks for my kids (5-9)?
