Sourdough Journal for Home Bakers: Track Starter, Levain, and Bake in One Place

...Cutting back on flour sounded manageable until bread became the problem. I could swap noodles more easily, but finding the kind of bread I actually liked was harder than I expected.

Best 3 Hobonichi Weeks Layout Ideas for Busy Weeks

...In 2026, life felt heavier than usual. Family responsibilities increased, unexpected situations popped up, and there were weeks when my mental energy felt thin.

Best Pens for Hobonichi That Don’t Smudge on Tomoe River Paper

...If you’ve ever searched for the best pens for Hobonichi, you already know this isn’t a simple question. Hobonichi planners use Tomoe River paper — thin, smooth, beautiful… and completely unforgiving when it comes to ink. Some pens glide like a dream but smear for minutes.

How to Declutter a Closet When It Feels Too Overwhelming to Start

...I’ve written about decluttering before—general tips about a year and a half ago, and a more detailed post on reorganizing my skincare products last year. Both came from wanting less visual noise and fewer things to manage. But one space I kept avoiding was my closet. Life got busy. Clothes piled up, bags stayed tucked […]
