Sister please don’t say sorry about crying and speaking about your mother. I understand I lost my mother in 2007 on June 9th. My daughter got married on September 8th. We had my mother’s outfit that she was going to wear to the wedding altered to fit my daughter and she wore it when they left on their honeymoon. Bless you for sharing your story. I cried and smiled over it. Bless you for your strength. 💛
@@audreystickney1813 Hello! Thank you so much for being here and for sharing your story. What a beautiful way you and your daughter found to include your mother in your daughter’s special day. I was nervous to be vulnerable for strangers on social media so your comment really helped me- thank you!
I am so so so sorry for your loss. I just lost my mother two weeks ago and I’m absolutely inconsolable. I just ordered my first Hobonichi Techo Cousin A5 English version today for 2025 with a cover and also a clear cover. I plan on using it for both planning and journaling. I’m so grateful to have found your channel. God Bless. Our Moms are still with us and will live on through us. ❤
Hello. I am so very sorry that you just lost your mother- I wish I had words to help you heal faster. You are so correct- our mothers will remain with us forever. Excited to hear you ordered, and have probably now received, your first A5 Hobonichi and accessories…it is an amazing book for simultaneously planning and journaling. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting- I am so glad you are here.
I remember watching your videos years ago when you showed your Hobonichi hauls and affectionly talking about you and your mums orders and I can only imagine how this felt for you knowing you lost your Mum and I know it took me 5 hours to get half our orders in and the frustration was so bad add your emotional attachment to this process and I really feel for you and thank you for being so brave to express how hard it was for you. I hope your Mum is watching with love and excitement above and she is around you all the time. Bless you ❤
@@mrsfoxezplans-akatonifox1315 Hello! Thank you so much for your sweet words and for supporting me/watching my YT videos through the years…it means so much! ❤️
@@PerpetualMommy Thank you I love the Hobo brand so being able to order was really what made me happy but I was surprised how hectic it was for many of us! Glad to hear it isn’t the normal. I’ll do an unboxing video once I receive my items.
Thank you for sharing the memory of your mother. I remember watching your Hobonichi unboxing when your mom was still with us because there were always some for her, and when you broke the news, I felt a strange sense of loss. The loss will always follow us for the rest of our lives like a door once opened that can’t be closed. But we will slowly learn to live with the grief. It doesn’t go away. Thank you for sharing.
Hello- thank you so much for watching and for your incredibly thoughtful comment. I appreciate you remembering my mom and I am honored that you have been in this journey with me/us. Your words were beautiful.
Hello! I have been toying with the idea of doing a planner cover stash video for a few years- I appreciate the suggestion as now I know there is interest. Thank you!
I’m so sorry for your loss once again. I’m so happy you have many fond memories of your mother and and love you both had for Hobonichi. Now you can make new memories with your daughter and the tradition continues. Blessings to you and your family. 😊
Thank you. For sharing your order. Especially for being vulnerable with us and trusting us with your pain and sadness. Don’t apologise for crying ❤ My mum is my planner friend so I can only imagine how bittersweet and difficult these launches are now. I’m waiting for my Mega in the colour Pistachio!!

First time watcher and I’ve never used a hobonichi. However, I’m so very moved by your experience. Hugs to you and your family! I haven’t finished the video but am glad to see it includes an unboxing. Grief is phenomenal. It is irrational and no experience of it is the same, even within your own (additional) experiences. Just know that as you continue to do launch day and unboxings, the memories of your mom will be even more cherishing. They will be all of the things: happy, fun, sad, devastating, etc etc etc. You will get through them alone, with your family and with your followers. Take care and I’m glad you have that support.
@@LimitlessAndrea Hello! I am so honored- honored you chose to spend time watching me for the first time (particularly since you are not a Hobonichi user) and honored to have received such a beautiful and thoughtful comment. Thank you!
I’m new to your channel. I lost my mom 6 weeks after I turned 26. That was 24 years ago 😢. I still feel that loss for both my parents even now. It’s been 28 years for my dad! I completely understand the process!!! Hanging in there with you!!!
We lost my mom this year and she was optimistic about fighting until things spread to her brain and loosing a parent is one of the hardest things we'll ever experience in our lives. We are so blessed that you are here with us.
Hello- thank you so much for being here and for commenting. I am so sorry that you recently lost your mother…you are absolutely correct, parental loss hits differently than other losses.
I hope you can enjoy your hobo haul this year with not too much sadness. I love your idea of using cousin for you kidlets drawings 🩷 the weeks cover is better set out for a wallet then the Notte. Loved your video enjoy your goodies 🎉😊🩷
First time viewer and absolutely love how real you are. Never apologize for emotions. They are valid. May your mom’s memory be a blessing. I know that launch day is tied to loss. I think your mom would want you to continue the tradition. Maybe order a book in her memory and write something to her in it? On a side note, you have the most beautiful eyes!
@@CaffeineByTwilight Hello! I am so glad you found my channel and I appreciate your kind words and compliment- thank you! I love the idea of writing to my mom in a book- thank you, again. ❤️
I feel with you. I lost my mom to cancer in 2022. We also thought she would be fine. Then my brother calls me on a Thursday, I live 3 hours drive away. And asks me if I want to see Mom again before she dies. I need to get my ass there asap. We got there Friday. And on Saturday after seeing my 2 older brothers one last time. She died. I started using Hobonichi that year. I bought from their online store for the first time last year. And I was right there with you last Sunday. I was so sad I thought I couldn't get any items I wanted. But I finally got the Spy Family a6 Hon (my first ever Hon), the a5 Spy Family cover with an avec, and the Spy Family stencil. But I will order more when I can afford it.
@@ravynanderson9211 First I want to say both thank you for being here and for sharing your story with me/us- it means so much. I am sorry you lost your mother as well…it is such a hard loss. Glad you hear you managed to order some Spy Family Hobonichi lovelies…I almost tried an A6 Hon this year but I know myself…maybe an A5 Hon next year. If you remember, come back here and update all of us on how you like the Hon. 😊
Yay I switched from the cousin as well which I love, to Just Scribble A5 horizontal this year! I miss the cousin already lol but I'm so excited to get my Plans planner!
@@danielklaetinortizmalone556 I love it- you and I taking a chance on a new planner while still adoring the A5 Cousin. I can’t wait to see the Just Scribble A5 planner as well!
First of all, I love you! Sounds like you have a supportive spouse, sister, daughter, etc. Thank you for sharing your touching story. It sounds like you made beautiful memories with your mother. You are a lucky woman. PS, you are beautiful inside and out.
@@isabelpires3423 Hello- thank you so much for watching and your thoughtful comment! Yes, planning with my daughter (and now my sister) has been a very healing evolution of my Hobonichi/planner traditions).
Big fan of the weeks mega, too, for work. I love having the monthly overview and weekly, and having a notes section is a huge plus for me. No other Hobonichi has that setup. I'd go for the original A6 if it had a notes section, too, but I definitely love the weekly spread.
Hello, I just wanted to say I’m so sorry for your loss. I actually just found out yesterday that my mother has bladder cancer, she’s only 49. my entire world is shattered. The only thing I’m looking forward to is my large hobonichi order, the covers bring me joy to collect. This video made me cry, and I love hearing about you and your mother sharing your love of planners together. Sending hugs 💗💗
Hello. I am so so sorry to hear of your mother’s diagnosis- cancer is a scary road, but I am sure your love and support brings her comfort. I am glad your Hobonichi order has given you a ray of brightness amongst the news of your mother’s illness- she is so young. Big hugs to both of you.
My heart goes out to you and your mom. Hearing my mom had cancer 4 years ago was the worst moment of my life, so I can imagine what you’re feeling right now. Please take good care of yourself and your sweet mom. Sending you both thoughts of healing and peace. 🦋
@@scf7334 thank you so much, I’m so sorry about your mums cancer, It really is a life changing moment when you find out. Thank you for your kind words 🩵🩵🩵
Happy Hobonichi season! This is my 2nd year with a hobonichi and am most excited for paddington a6 cover. Thank you for sharing I appreciate your vulnerability ❤️❤
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for your supportive words! I almost bought the A6 Paddington cover just to have but changed my mind last minute- it is really cute, I hope you adore it. 😊
So sorry for your loss of your Mom. Such a special thing with you and your Mom. This was my first year ordering from the hobo website and gave up the first launch day I was not able to order until I got the paddington bear 🐻 restock well they sold out in 3 min again so I just accepted that I would not be able to get it and placed my order and I am excited to use the cousin and my weeks again.
@@Jesus.Coffee.Planning Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet words! I am sorry you had such a challenging time attempting to order your Paddington items, but I am glad to hear you have a Cousin and a Weeks on the way.
Hello- thank you so much for watching and commenting! (And) OMGosh, best compliment ever- thank you! Now we all need to know, since it is your first order, what you ordered from Hobonichi?
@@PerpetualMommy Oh my goodness, you are so kind! I got sooo many things. I felt like a little kid on Christmas (and I used to work for a planner company…I’m “used” to this!🤣). Will be making my UA-cam debut with my Hobonichi 2025 order, so I’ve been watching around for inspo. Absolutely loved yours-and the heartfelt way you described launch day. So sorry about your mom! You made her seem so lovely in how you described her. 🙏🏼🤍
Thank you for sharing your heart filled story. I remember watching your videos talking about your shared orders with your mom. I was praying for you inside. I also lost my dad to cancer around the same time. Hugs ❤
Hello! You are the kindest human for these words- thank you so much! (And) Thank you for remembering mom from my videos- it is a truly special thing to me. I am so sorry you lost your dad- losing a parent is a different kind of grief that cuts deep.
@@PerpetualMommy Very true, indeed. I often times have to remind myself that dad is not here with us anymore. I’ve also become more mindful about spending more intentional memory making times with my mom, too. ♥️
I am so sorry for your loss. Just remember that we are human and we cry for different reasons and yours is a special one. I send you a big hug, hoping one day you find comfort. She is going to be your Perpetual Mommy!
Love and hugs friend. ❤ I am not a planner girlie, but you know I watch all of your videos ◡̈ It was so great to see your beautiful face. love from TX ◡̈
Hello, Sweet Friend! Thank you so much for watching- it is a long video and time is valuable- I appreciate you! (And) You are just definitely a planner girlie- I see you with your giant planner and pens. 😘
Hello and thank you so much for being here. My heart is with you- I am so so sorry your father has passed. (My Mom passed on my husband’s birthday- I know it isn’t the same as a direct parent- but watching him struggle with this has my heart absolutely aching for you. Again, you have my deepest condolences.)
I remember watching ur hobonichi unboxing with yr moms items. Im also very close with my mom and I cried then and i cried now watching u, i admire ur vulnerability and talking about it. I think ita very lovely u keep the tradition with ur doughter. I do hope the memory of ordering hobonichi with ur mom becomes a memory of joy in the future and not loss and sadness. Let me tell u, I also cried on launch day, prior to hobonichi launch i was habing a very difficult time, i rescued a cat and found out he was very sick and after taking care of him tirelessly he passed and my original cat sheldon became very sick too and i honestly thought he was gonna die, to add to that i fell and broke my toe. For 2 weeks coming and going from vet clinics and hospitals every single day by uber with cat carrier, broken toe, worried but still looking forward to that one nice thing the hobonichi launch. I guess that was the last straw for me, ended my night 3am hugging my paper thin cat and crying. Next day, i was able to order hobonichi and my cat finally ate something and now he is doing better. Sorry for the long reply, i hope ur 2025 planners are filled with great memories and joy :)
@@mgtogno Thank you so much for your support of my videos and for watching over the years- I love that some of you remember my mom. (And) Thank you for allowing me to be vulnerable and to share my story with you without judgement- I appreciate it. You had such a challenging few weeks leading up to Hobonichi launch- I am so sorry one of your cats passed and the other got so sick, but what wonderful news your one cat is doing so much better now. I am also glad to hear, after an initially frustrating order experience, you were able to order the Hobonichi items you wanted. How is your toe doing?
I’m so very sorry to hear about your Mum’s passing. I remember watching your videos of the unboxings of your items and your Mums and all the joy and excitement. You are so fortunate to have had those amazing moments with your Mum. Thank you for sharing your very personal story. 💕🇨🇦
Hello- thank you so much for being here and for commenting. Your words really touched my heart, and I appreciate you watching for so many years and for remembering my mom. Thank you, again!
Hello. I agree on your point…but, I typically can’t stand Velcro. Bad for my clothes, wallets, purses, etc. (But) I do think the Velcro on the Reusable Envelopes has been done very well/thoughtfully and I am not worried about carrying one in a nice bag. 😊
@@PerpetualMommy totally! But I found that the ones that have the rough Velcro hold up better, so the Velcro has less of a chance of grabbing on to things! :) hopefully you have the same experience:)
I am so in Love with that A5 Dandelion cover, I want it so much, but I never use the Cousin size and don’t know what I would use it for. Maybe I should get it anyway, just in case? I also really love the Tragen, but although I like the dark colour, I’m wondering if they may bring it out in other colours, so I feel comfortable holding off for a bit. Nice haul, thank you for sharing it with us, and the chit chat that makes me feel a bit like we’re sharing a coffee. Also I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. ❤️
Hello- thank you so much for watching and for your super thoughtful comment! You could use the Dandelion cover for an Art Journal or a Scrapbook/Memory Keeping cover…? I thought the same thing about the Tragen- if I like using it, and it comes in a new color I feel like I need to have in a year or two, I will just buy the new ones. I love coffee so I adore that the chit-chat part of the video felt like a friendly conversion over a nice caffeinated beverage. (Thank you for your sweet words about my mom.) ❤️
It’s lovely how you share remembering your mother. This was a great video. Where will you put the brown circle sticker that you removed from your box? On this year’s planner or next year’s?? Hope your sister enjoys her new Hobo and that you two can share this hobby going forward.
Hello! Thank you so much for being here and for allowing me to share a bit of my mother with you. I am planning on putting the brown circle sticker from my Hobonichi box on my current planner (on 08.31.24) to remember launch day.
Great haul! Such sweet memories of your mom and future memories with you kids. ❤ I love the Tragen covers. I have the A6 and have the Weeks version coming. I really want the same cousin cover. I’m ordering the One Piece weeks in October and will likely get that cover for my cousin
Hello- thank you so much for watching and for your sweet words- I appreciate it! I knew I would like the Tragen, but I was surprised at how much I like the design- it is so good!
I just purchased the Cousin Avec Book set, a Deco Rush - Sushi and the Hobonichi Stencil Activities. It was $75.90.... the shipping was $43.... ouch. Looking forward to getting my delivery though :) Thanks for your unboxing video!! Im terribly sorry about your mum
Hello! Your order sounds fabulous- thank you for sharing your upcoming Hobonichi lovelies with all of us! I appreciate you being here and your sweet words about my mom.
@@MissRuthina Hello, thank you so much for watching and commenting! Yes, the Weeks is amazing! I feel like it took a long time for people to find love for the Weeks but in the last few years it seems like the Weeks popularity has increased exponentially. 😊
Sending you and your family thoughts and prayers. I have lost both of My parents, 10 months apart 05/2023-03/2024, so you have My support. Take the memories with you. And life will come around. I appreciate your strength in making this video.
My heart aches for you reading your comment- I am so very sorry for your loss of both your parents (and so close together). I appreciate you being here and for your supportive words. ❤️
❤my prayers go out to you . I am glad you vented and it’s a sweet memory that you did Hobonichi together keep it alive? Write your thoughts or talk to her in a weeks maybe talking to her. Just a thought
Hello! I am so glad you are here and I appreciate your comment. I think it is a lovely idea to write to my mom in a Weeks- thank you for the suggestion. 😊
I'm in the legal field as well, I never considered the weeks for my planner. I might try it out in 2025. Currently using a half letter inserts in C+P, which is working but a bit larger for carrying around.
@@BeFruitfulMomma Hello, thank you so much for watching and for commenting! I was nervous the first year I downsized to a Mega Weeks for work but it is literal work planner perfection for me. If you try out the Weeks I would love to hear if it works out for you.
I have been trying to figure out the background color of the Toy Snake design. In the pictures I felt it looked grungy but if it’s a pale sage I would probably like it. I would email Hobonichi about the defect in your Mega and include a closeup picture. Maybe they’ll send you a replacement. Otherwise you got very nice placement of the snakes!
Hello- thank you so much for being here and for commenting! I would say the background color of the Snakes Weeks is an extremely light sage green…but, it also looks a tad dinghy. (But) I do like the background color much more in person than online.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet words. I am so glad you were able to order your Hobonichi lovelies without the added stress of launch time. You missed the madness by about 10 minutes- love this for you!
Oh I can understand the frustration and madness in general, but also why it was even more important to you… I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m sorry you had to go through it all. Thank goodness for your sister to help and be there for you as well… ❤❤❤ sending love ❤❤❤
@@tortagialla Thank you so so much for watching and for your sweet comment! I was worried people would think I was indulgent or ridiculous for sharing my story/experience…I truly appreciate you. Yes, my sister is such a wonderful human all around and having her help me order was so nice.
@@PerpetualMommy Context is so important to truly understand situations but often we are quick to judge or think we know the ‘story’ - but there’s always more to it. Thank you for sharing with all of us… it’s very touching and although sad… also beautiful that something seemingly mundane like planners can be such an important connection in relationships ❤️
@@tortagialla Thank you, again, for allowing me to share my story with you without any negative judgement. I completely agree with you- context can be everything when trying to understand a situation or perspective. ❤️
Every time you hoped we were in frame we were perfectly in frame. You could tape the outside edge of your view finder so you can visually see when you can't see the view finder
Me too- my caseloads are usually dockets with some specially set contests, so it’s very calendar driven. The GtD method would kill my career, LOL. The cousin works great as a main planner and I use the Weeks as an EDC. Some years I use the A6 for personal stuff- I put everything, work and personal, in the Cousin, so my calendar’s in one place, but use the A6 for more details. Hope that makes sense.
@@PJoanGavigan Hello- that you so much for watching and for sharing your planning style with me/us. Makes perfect sense how you are using your planners- love it!
PS and much more important! So very sorry for your loss. I remember your earlier videos and then the one with the caterpillar cover. Losing your Mom is the pits, no matter what the age. I’m so sorry. 😢
@@PJoanGavigan You are the sweetest human ever- thank you for these words (and thank you for having watched my videos over the years). I truly appreciate you. ❤️
You should just cut out the text block from the weeks cover so you can at least fabric for you work weeks. It’s a shame to distroy the beautiful snakes weeks
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I should have clarified in the video…I plan on keeping both the outside components/shells of the Snake Toy and Sushi weeks to repurpose from later…only the inside pages will get shredded. 😉
How beautiful of a relationship with your sister who also totally realized the emotional importance of this event for your heart. 💕
Hello! Thank you so much for your sweet words. Yes, my sister is an absolutely wonderful human. ❤️💯❤️💯

Hello! OMGosh, you are the kindest soul ever- thank you for your wonderful words! I do feel very lucky/fortunate to have the family that I do. ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Lovely memories of your mom. Now you can continue with your daughter and your sister. Love the use of your weeks for work.
@@isabelpires3423 Hello- thank you so much for watching and your thoughtful comment! Yes, planning with my daughter (and now my sister) has been a very healing evolution of my Hobonichi/planner traditions).
Big fan of the weeks mega, too, for work. I love having the monthly overview and weekly, and having a notes section is a huge plus for me. No other Hobonichi has that setup. I'd go for the original A6 if it had a notes section, too, but I definitely love the weekly spread.
Right!?!? The Mega Weeks for work is so good! 😉
Hello, I just wanted to say I’m so sorry for your loss. I actually just found out yesterday that my mother has bladder cancer, she’s only 49. my entire world is shattered. The only thing I’m looking forward to is my large hobonichi order, the covers bring me joy to collect. This video made me cry, and I love hearing about you and your mother sharing your love of planners together. Sending hugs 💗💗
Hello. I am so so sorry to hear of your mother’s diagnosis- cancer is a scary road, but I am sure your love and support brings her comfort. I am glad your Hobonichi order has given you a ray of brightness amongst the news of your mother’s illness- she is so young. Big hugs to both of you.
My heart goes out to you and your mom. Hearing my mom had cancer 4 years ago was the worst moment of my life, so I can imagine what you’re feeling right now. Please take good care of yourself and your sweet mom. Sending you both thoughts of healing and peace. 🦋
@@scf7334 thank you so much, I’m so sorry about your mums cancer, It really is a life changing moment when you find out. Thank you for your kind words 🩵🩵🩵
Happy Hobonichi season! This is my 2nd year with a hobonichi and am most excited for paddington a6 cover. Thank you for sharing I appreciate your vulnerability ❤️❤
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for your supportive words! I almost bought the A6 Paddington cover just to have but changed my mind last minute- it is really cute, I hope you adore it. 😊
@@PerpetualMommy Thank you! 😊
So sorry for your loss of your Mom. Such a special thing with you and your Mom. This was my first year ordering from the hobo website and gave up the first launch day I was not able to order until I got the paddington bear 🐻 restock well they sold out in 3 min again so I just accepted that I would not be able to get it and placed my order and I am excited to use the cousin and my weeks again.
@@Jesus.Coffee.Planning Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet words! I am sorry you had such a challenging time attempting to order your Paddington items, but I am glad to hear you have a Cousin and a Weeks on the way.
This was my favorite unboxing I’ve seen. I’m new here 👋🏼 glad I found your page! 🎉 I’m eagerly awaiting my first ever Hobonichi order!!
Hello- thank you so much for watching and commenting! (And) OMGosh, best compliment ever- thank you! Now we all need to know, since it is your first order, what you ordered from Hobonichi?
@@PerpetualMommy Oh my goodness, you are so kind! I got sooo many things. I felt like a little kid on Christmas (and I used to work for a planner company…I’m “used” to this!🤣). Will be making my UA-cam debut with my Hobonichi 2025 order, so I’ve been watching around for inspo. Absolutely loved yours-and the heartfelt way you described launch day. So sorry about your mom! You made her seem so lovely in how you described her. 🙏🏼🤍
What a fantastic and beautiful ❤Hobonichi haul. Congratulations!
@@loreedavis5988 Thank you so sons much for watching and commenting- I appreciate you!
Thank you for sharing your heart filled story. I remember watching your videos talking about your shared orders with your mom. I was praying for you inside. I also lost my dad to cancer around the same time. Hugs ❤
Hello! You are the kindest human for these words- thank you so much! (And) Thank you for remembering mom from my videos- it is a truly special thing to me. I am so sorry you lost your dad- losing a parent is a different kind of grief that cuts deep.
@@PerpetualMommy Very true, indeed. I often times have to remind myself that dad is not here with us anymore. I’ve also become more mindful about spending more intentional memory making times with my mom, too. ♥️
I am so sorry for your loss. Just remember that we are human and we cry for different reasons and yours is a special one. I send you a big hug, hoping one day you find comfort. She is going to be your Perpetual Mommy!
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for your words- I love what you had to say. ❤️
Love and hugs friend. ❤ I am not a planner girlie, but you know I watch all of your videos ◡̈ It was so great to see your beautiful face. love from TX ◡̈
Hello, Sweet Friend! Thank you so much for watching- it is a long video and time is valuable- I appreciate you! (And) You are just definitely a planner girlie- I see you with your giant planner and pens. 😘
Sorry for your loss. I lost my father in May, on my birthday, so I really feel you.
Hello and thank you so much for being here. My heart is with you- I am so so sorry your father has passed. (My Mom passed on my husband’s birthday- I know it isn’t the same as a direct parent- but watching him struggle with this has my heart absolutely aching for you. Again, you have my deepest condolences.)
I remember watching ur hobonichi unboxing with yr moms items. Im also very close with my mom and I cried then and i cried now watching u, i admire ur vulnerability and talking about it. I think ita very lovely u keep the tradition with ur doughter. I do hope the memory of ordering hobonichi with ur mom becomes a memory of joy in the future and not loss and sadness. Let me tell u, I also cried on launch day, prior to hobonichi launch i was habing a very difficult time, i rescued a cat and found out he was very sick and after taking care of him tirelessly he passed and my original cat sheldon became very sick too and i honestly thought he was gonna die, to add to that i fell and broke my toe. For 2 weeks coming and going from vet clinics and hospitals every single day by uber with cat carrier, broken toe, worried but still looking forward to that one nice thing the hobonichi launch. I guess that was the last straw for me, ended my night 3am hugging my paper thin cat and crying. Next day, i was able to order hobonichi and my cat finally ate something and now he is doing better. Sorry for the long reply, i hope ur 2025 planners are filled with great memories and joy :)
@@mgtogno Thank you so much for your support of my videos and for watching over the years- I love that some of you remember my mom. (And) Thank you for allowing me to be vulnerable and to share my story with you without judgement- I appreciate it. You had such a challenging few weeks leading up to Hobonichi launch- I am so sorry one of your cats passed and the other got so sick, but what wonderful news your one cat is doing so much better now. I am also glad to hear, after an initially frustrating order experience, you were able to order the Hobonichi items you wanted. How is your toe doing?
I’m so very sorry to hear about your Mum’s passing. I remember watching your videos of the unboxings of your items and your Mums and all the joy and excitement. You are so fortunate to have had those amazing moments with your Mum. Thank you for sharing your very personal story. 💕🇨🇦
Hello- thank you so much for being here and for commenting. Your words really touched my heart, and I appreciate you watching for so many years and for remembering my mom. Thank you, again!
I love that they put rough Velcro! That means it won’t ware out as fast! :)
Hello. I agree on your point…but, I typically can’t stand Velcro. Bad for my clothes, wallets, purses, etc. (But) I do think the Velcro on the Reusable Envelopes has been done very well/thoughtfully and I am not worried about carrying one in a nice bag. 😊
@@PerpetualMommy totally! But I found that the ones that have the rough Velcro hold up better, so the Velcro has less of a chance of grabbing on to things! :) hopefully you have the same experience:)
This is excellent to know- thank you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I am so in Love with that A5 Dandelion cover, I want it so much, but I never use the Cousin size and don’t know what I would use it for. Maybe I should get it anyway, just in case? I also really love the Tragen, but although I like the dark colour, I’m wondering if they may bring it out in other colours, so I feel comfortable holding off for a bit. Nice haul, thank you for sharing it with us, and the chit chat that makes me feel a bit like we’re sharing a coffee. Also I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. ❤️
Hello- thank you so much for watching and for your super thoughtful comment! You could use the Dandelion cover for an Art Journal or a Scrapbook/Memory Keeping cover…? I thought the same thing about the Tragen- if I like using it, and it comes in a new color I feel like I need to have in a year or two, I will just buy the new ones. I love coffee so I adore that the chit-chat part of the video felt like a friendly conversion over a nice caffeinated beverage. (Thank you for your sweet words about my mom.) ❤️
It’s lovely how you share remembering your mother. This was a great video. Where will you put the brown circle sticker that you removed from your box? On this year’s planner or next year’s?? Hope your sister enjoys her new Hobo and that you two can share this hobby going forward.
Hello! Thank you so much for being here and for allowing me to share a bit of my mother with you. I am planning on putting the brown circle sticker from my Hobonichi box on my current planner (on 08.31.24) to remember launch day.
Great haul! Such sweet memories of your mom and future memories with you kids. ❤ I love the Tragen covers. I have the A6 and have the Weeks version coming. I really want the same cousin cover. I’m ordering the One Piece weeks in October and will likely get that cover for my cousin
Hello- thank you so much for watching and for your sweet words- I appreciate it! I knew I would like the Tragen, but I was surprised at how much I like the design- it is so good!
Ah I totally understand. My mom and me used to do Black Friday shopping together and now that she’s gone it just doesn’t feel the same. 💜
@@kaseylealma Thank you so much for being here and for commenting. I am sorry you lost your mother as well- it is such a hard life loss.
Im very sorry for your loss.
Hello! Thank you so so much- I appreciate you watching and your kind words!
I just purchased the Cousin Avec Book set, a Deco Rush - Sushi and the Hobonichi Stencil Activities. It was $75.90.... the shipping was $43.... ouch. Looking forward to getting my delivery though :) Thanks for your unboxing video!! Im terribly sorry about your mum
Hello! Your order sounds fabulous- thank you for sharing your upcoming Hobonichi lovelies with all of us! I appreciate you being here and your sweet words about my mom.
I use a weeks style as well for teaching. Amazing for keeping on top of stuff.
@@MissRuthina Hello, thank you so much for watching and commenting! Yes, the Weeks is amazing! I feel like it took a long time for people to find love for the Weeks but in the last few years it seems like the Weeks popularity has increased exponentially. 😊
Sending you and your family thoughts and prayers. I have lost both of My parents, 10 months apart 05/2023-03/2024, so you have My support. Take the memories with you. And life will come around. I appreciate your strength in making this video.
My heart aches for you reading your comment- I am so very sorry for your loss of both your parents (and so close together). I appreciate you being here and for your supportive words. ❤️
❤my prayers go out to you . I am glad you vented and it’s a sweet memory that you did Hobonichi together keep it alive? Write your thoughts or talk to her in a weeks maybe talking to her. Just a thought
Hello! I am so glad you are here and I appreciate your comment. I think it is a lovely idea to write to my mom in a Weeks- thank you for the suggestion. 😊
Great haul! Love everything.
@@BeFruitfulMomma Thank you so so much!
I'm in the legal field as well, I never considered the weeks for my planner. I might try it out in 2025. Currently using a half letter inserts in C+P, which is working but a bit larger for carrying around.
@@BeFruitfulMomma Hello, thank you so much for watching and for commenting! I was nervous the first year I downsized to a Mega Weeks for work but it is literal work planner perfection for me. If you try out the Weeks I would love to hear if it works out for you.
I have been trying to figure out the background color of the Toy Snake design. In the pictures I felt it looked grungy but if it’s a pale sage I would probably like it. I would email Hobonichi about the defect in your Mega and include a closeup picture. Maybe they’ll send you a replacement. Otherwise you got very nice placement of the snakes!
Hello- thank you so much for being here and for commenting! I would say the background color of the Snakes Weeks is an extremely light sage green…but, it also looks a tad dinghy. (But) I do like the background color much more in person than online.
I’m so sorry about you losing your mom. I ordered on launch day, I guess, but it was about 1:00 am PDT, which I think was 4:00 pm in Japan.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet words. I am so glad you were able to order your Hobonichi lovelies without the added stress of launch time. You missed the madness by about 10 minutes- love this for you!
Oh I can understand the frustration and madness in general, but also why it was even more important to you… I’m so sorry for your loss and I’m sorry you had to go through it all. Thank goodness for your sister to help and be there for you as well… ❤❤❤ sending love ❤❤❤
@@tortagialla Thank you so so much for watching and for your sweet comment! I was worried people would think I was indulgent or ridiculous for sharing my story/experience…I truly appreciate you. Yes, my sister is such a wonderful human all around and having her help me order was so nice.
@@PerpetualMommy Context is so important to truly understand situations but often we are quick to judge or think we know the ‘story’ - but there’s always more to it. Thank you for sharing with all of us… it’s very touching and although sad… also beautiful that something seemingly mundane like planners can be such an important connection in relationships ❤️
@@tortagialla Thank you, again, for allowing me to share my story with you without any negative judgement. I completely agree with you- context can be everything when trying to understand a situation or perspective. ❤️
Condolences … grief is personal. The beautiful sentimental tradition with mom…Continue it. Enjoy your goodies !🙏😊
Hello! Thank you so much for being here and for your thoughtful comment- I appreciate it. ❤️
Beautiful memories
@@kimsandiford Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words.
Every time you hoped we were in frame we were perfectly in frame.
You could tape the outside edge of your view finder so you can visually see when you can't see the view finder
@@MissRuthina Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for commenting- tape is an excellent idea- thank you!
I agree. Now that you said Sesame Street, I can’t unsee it either! 😂
@@jenifermerrill Right, it shall forever be the “Big Bird” pen. 😉
I put a cover on my techo weeks because I have pets and pet hair sticks to everything that is not a slick surface.
Hello! I never thought about that- TFS a new planner vs pet back. 😊
I’m sorry about your momma. I’ve lost mine too so I get it.❤
Hello! Thank you so much for being here. I am sorry you lost your mom, too. (Hugs to you.)
Great video. Wow we get to see your face and wow those green eyes!!!🫨
@@ambactusrex Hello- thank you so much for watching! Yep, green eyes- happy to be part of the 2% graced with this color.
Me too- my caseloads are usually dockets with some specially set contests, so it’s very calendar driven. The GtD method would kill my career, LOL. The cousin works great as a main planner and I use the Weeks as an EDC. Some years I use the A6 for personal stuff- I put everything, work and personal, in the Cousin, so my calendar’s in one place, but use the A6 for more details. Hope that makes sense.
@@PJoanGavigan Hello- that you so much for watching and for sharing your planning style with me/us. Makes perfect sense how you are using your planners- love it!
PS and much more important! So very sorry for your loss. I remember your earlier videos and then the one with the caterpillar cover. Losing your Mom is the pits, no matter what the age. I’m so sorry. 😢
@@PJoanGavigan You are the sweetest human ever- thank you for these words (and thank you for having watched my videos over the years). I truly appreciate you. ❤️
Hello beautiful story ❤
Hello- thank you! ❤️
Hobonichi has great customer service, just email them. Be well😊
@@donnacuff1773 Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for the information- I think I will probably send and email to CS and see what they say.
You should just cut out the text block from the weeks cover so you can at least fabric for you work weeks. It’s a shame to distroy the beautiful snakes weeks
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I should have clarified in the video…I plan on keeping both the outside components/shells of the Snake Toy and Sushi weeks to repurpose from later…only the inside pages will get shredded. 😉
I lost my mom on August 12th of this year 😢@thebalancedplanner -❤sorry for your loss Jenean
I am so so sorry you recently lost your mother- you have my support and my condolences.
