I love my calendar and while I’m not sure I want to write in it either, I think you are right – the calendar is meant to be used and enjoyed!
It was a thrill to be part of Paula’s Cat Blogging Planner and Calendar. She is so awesome! It is truly a tool that can be so helpful to all of us. And Deb, I must say, you

Great review ! Can’t wait to get our planner (it’s ordered, and we’re waiting for it !). Purrs
Now the real challenge is to actually write it in. It’s so nice, I almost hate to write in it, but then that defeats the purpose. It should help all of us get a paws hold on 2019. Many purrs!
