how was the shipping time/ rates for the MU transfer stickers?
@busybeardiaries15 күн бұрын
It took a little over 2 weeks for me, shipping was $13 to the US but they sometimes have coupon deals so I paid $6 for shipping with the coupon

I had to use a nipple shield with my first because she would not latch. Your obgyn should also be able to recommend a lactation consultant or call the hospital where you gave birth. With my second, she had to stay in the NICU the first two weeks and they tried to force formula because she wasn’t eating much. I had them spin my milk and it came out calorically denser than the formula. There’s no none zero shame in formula feeding…just as long as you’re both thriving.

Hey mama!!! If you can, try to find a lactation group in your area through La leche league!! They are run by a lactation specialist who can help as well as getting tips and support from other moms ❤️ if there are none near you, try to find a lactation consultant or even a midwife etc who can evaluate the issues you guys are having and help correct the latch or whatever the case may be ❤ sending you love!!

Uhh, those "tattoo" stickers look really interesting! I feel the same about my handwriting; I often refrain from planning some days because I have a feeling that my writing wouldn't be good enough 😓 I hate it when I let that happen. Btw, thanks for the refresher with the Alistair method! 😅 Needed that reminder. Hope you and your daughter are well, and have a wonderful first Christmas time! 🎄🌟😊
@busybeardiaries23 күн бұрын
Thank you for the kind wishes! And yes I know what you mean about the handwriting… just gotta remind ourselves to give ourselves a bit of grace and that the purpose of journaling/planning is not for others to judge but it’s for the benefit of yourself 💕

@Th3L0st0neАй бұрын
I think the weeks had the old TR paper which had longer drying time. the new paper which cousin had has shorter drying time. because ink dries much quicker on it there is less smudging... I like it too. Even fountain pens dont smudge. But many people dont like it because quick drying characteristics mean there is much less sheening and a little less shading
@busybeardiariesАй бұрын
Good point about the sheen and shading, I didn’t know this! But yeah I did notice the cousin has way shorter drying time~
@rimfrost556Ай бұрын
The paper problem is not regarding the new paper. We had that last year already. The Bleed through predominantly happens in the 5 year journals. A friend of mine has one defective weeks as well (she ordered two and one has bleed through). My A6 and Weeks are good but the 5 Year is horrible. All my fountain pen/ inks causes bleed through😢
@busybeardiariesАй бұрын
Ohh gotcha! I saw some other videos of people comparing the paper in the cousin, so I assumed it was for all the journals. I’ve never used the 5 year, sorry to hear that you’ve had such a bad experience with it! 😭 really wonder why they decided to make this change!

I really like the use of the Alistair method for cleaning and maintenance tasks. I also hate re-writing the daily stuff! I have used this for habit logging, and that was useful. I had this combo of the a5 Hon and a Weeks for 2024, and I re-ordered the a6 for 2025 for the reasons you got the a6! It's lovely and friendly in page size. I can write small if I have a lot to say, or feel ok writing a few lines a bit larger while skipping a line or two. I am planning to print out some photos to add to the emptier pages soon! After watching this, I am now questioning if I did not want another Weeks for 2025! Yikes! I ended up with a discounted planner that seemed nice to me bc I can keep it open and laying flat, but the Weeks is such a nice size and pleasant paper....

I ended up getting a Weeks and an A6 Hon for 2025. My plan is to use the Weeks for planning and the A6 Hon for journaling (basically splitting the cousin up into 2 separate smaller books). I like the compact sizes of the smaller Weeks and A6 and in my mind it’s less pressure to fill up. I’ll prob make a separate video to showcase it further. We’ll see how it works out!
