Today, Chris and I hung out at Barnes and Noble, and as usual, I bought something I didn’t really need.
Check out these gorgeous Jonathan Adler notebooks!

I just love the colors and graphics, especially the little ampersands on every page.

I have a huge collection of notebooks…and mugs…and Sharpies…and self-help books…
What can I say? I know what I like, and I like cute things that make my life sweeter.
What do you collect? What was the last thing you bought just because it made you smile?
While devise some delicious plan for these notebooks (gratitude journal? aspiration journal? to-do list? brain dump?), here are some tidbits for you to peruse at your leisure.

What simple pleasures are you enjoying this weekend?





The notebooks are so pretty! You know I’m a sucker for notebooks and I always have one in my bag for jotting down anything that comes into my head. I couldn’t even wait to to read the 17 weirdest things I do now that I’m vegan and of course I do many of those things too
Can’t wait to read the others!
I don’t think I really collect things? My very sweet simple pleasure for this weekend is cuddling up with Tyler! I babysat him last night and he is such a sweetie he just warms my heart. We are laying around watching movies and I’m loving every minute of it
Tyler is so adorable! One of the best things in life is cuddling up on the couch with a puppy.
I think I’m a pretty average vegan. I don’t lean too far into the so-called weird side. Maybe someday.
Those notebooks are adorable! You saw my post recently on our splurges, so you know what I’ve purchased lately.
As for collections, I don’t really have any….. unless if maybe you count dog collars? Emma & Rowan each have about a month’s worth of them.
That cheeseburger is so disgusting. We were talking about that at work the other day. ugh!
A dog collar collection makes sense. Emma and Rowan need to be fashionable, right?
I love the movie Super Size Me (and everything Morgan Spurlock makes), and it’s disgusting that people eat those non-foods. It’s so unnatural, and no wonder fast food makes people so sick.
