For years, I’ve been a Happy Planner girl through and through! 💖 The cute covers, colorful layouts, and disc-bound system (hello, customizable inserts!) have kept me coming back year after year. And don’t even get me started on the joy of decorating each spread with stickers! 🥰

But lately… I’ve noticed something. I haven’t been using my planner as much. 😲 And I keep seeing so many adorable Hobonichi-style setups that it got me thinking… should I try something new?! 👀

🆚 Happy Planner vs. Hobonichi (…Sort of!)

Here’s the thing—I don’t love the Hobonichi itself. The cover is just too plain for my taste. (Yes, I could sticker bomb it, but still!) I needed something cute, fun, and still functional with daily spreads and a sleek notebook feel.

Enter the Hubman & Chubgirl planner! 🎉 It has that minimalist but still stylish vibe I love, but with layouts that work better for me and look at that cover! 😍

✨ Why I’m Making the Switch! 📝

📌 Size & Portability – As much as I love my Happy Planner, sometimes I want something a little slimmer and easier to toss in my bag.

📌 Fresh Layouts – A new planner means new ways to organize my life—and I’m totally here for that. 💡

📌 Because It’s Fun! – Let’s be real… half the fun of planning is trying new things, testing layouts, and playing with stickers. 🚀

💕 Will I Miss My Happy Planner?

Um, YES! 100%. I’ve loved my big, beautiful pages for so long, and I know I’ll always have a soft spot for them. But who says I can’t switch back if I feel like it? Planning should be fun and flexible! (Just like our schedules… hopefully 😆).

🗓️ My Plan for Q2!

Like breaking in a cute new pair of shoes, I need some time to adjust and make this planner mine. So, for Q2, I’m setting up my new H&C planner, testing it out, and (of course) sharing all my thoughts along the way. Will I totally fall in love? 😍 Or will I be running back to my Happy Planner by Q3? Stay tuned! ✨
