Hobonichi vs. Aura Estelle ?

People keep talking how everyone is moving away from Hobonichi and getting Aura Estelle And I just want to let you know, I'm not moving away from Hobonichi. Hobonichi is my ride or die. I just don't see myself ever moving away from Hobonichi, but I did get Aura Estelle. But I want to talk about it. I want to talk about it. So, as you maybe know, I use Hobonichi Weeks for my kids journals, okay? I have two kids. I keep a journal for each of them. This is my second year doing this. And then I use Hobonichi Weeks for myself. I use the sneaker Weeks, which I really like. I have this tomato red this year. I also have a Hobonichi cousin that I use for morning pages kind of writing, and it's just not I'm not doing it. I'm not keeping up with it. I kind of I kind of thought I would dabble for 2027 also. Hold on, this is an important caveat. One sec. In my quest for a Tomoe River paper notebook, I tried Aura Estelle, and I really loved it. Had I not tried this notebook, I would not be talking to you today about Aura Estelle, but I did. And so I am. And one thing that I really love about Aura Estelle is that they have a B6 option. I have always wanted to work in an A6 Hobonichi because it is so cute. It's so cute, it's too small. It doesn't work for me. The Weeks is also kind of small. It just doesn't really give me enough space to write notes, keep a to-do, write out my appointments. And so this planner is very I don't use it for productivity whatsoever. I got the Aura Estelle Weekly Horizontal B6. I just love the size. It's perfect. And then I also got the B6 Daily Planner, not knowing whether I wanted to use one of for writing and one of for planning. I just wanted to kind of try them out. And I have to say like, first got them, I was much like, all right, that's going to be it for me. But now I'm like, I going to be the weekly. Going to be the weekly. So this is kind of like Weeks layout, right? The horizontal weekly. With all this extra room. There's like some space the margin here, and whole page. Then it goes into the weeks. Other reason why I can let go of this for my planner is because I will be getting two Weeks for 2027 for kids journals. So I will not be letting this format altogether. I just think that this might be better for my actual planning and writing. Everything is compartmentalized by month, you get the month of January. Then you get some action steps. Then there's okay, then there's a blank page, blank spread. Then it goes into the weeks. I love that it's, you lay-flat binding to work in. I'm still kind of undecided on planner I want to use for 2027. So I'm still noodling on those. I will be getting the don't know what colors yet. So I am not I am not moving away from Hobonichi, okay? My dabbling with Aura Estelle is to expand my palate. We are not saying goodbye to Hobonichi.
