We’re back after a semi long hiatus! Sorry for the wait, the holidays are usually crazy for one reason or another. This week we talk about giant pens, a couple of notebooks and a few stationery retailers. Come join the conversation!

This week there isn’t really a main topic. Mostly just some random stationery bits and what we’re using at the moment. As well as some book and ebook talk. Come join the conversation!

(Title sung to the tune of Careless Whispers) This week we’re talking about things that we wouldn’t buy again. It could be for a variety of reasons; the one we have is great, or it stinks, or it’s obsolete. Come join the conversation!

What happens when life gets too full? How do we keep up with our stationery hobby when there’s barely time to think? Let’s talk about taking a breath and slowing down, and some methods for time management. Come join the conversation!

This week is more of a general discussion about some stationery related topics. Lots of fun, as always.

Slight trigger warning for some medical field related dark humor.

Also Jeremy brags about being a good dad and recaps an international trip.

Is stationery gendered? Can it even BE gendered? Is this very important or a non issue? This week we talk about gender (or lack thereof) as it’s related to our favorite hobby. Just a disclaimer: these are OUR thoughts and experiences about this subject. We are not mental health experts and we do not claim to speak for anyone or group.

We definitely take a light hearted approach to this and try to have some fun with it. Come join the conversation!

This week features not one, but two deep dives. Sam and Jeremy each picked a subject and researched in secret. Neither has any idea what the other is doing, so the reactions are in real time. We had fun with this one and we hope you will too. Come join the conversation!
