Did anyone else ditch their hard copy diaries over the last couple of covid years? I did. I turned completely digital. After all, there wasn’t really much going on to try to juggle and fit in. But… there is now. Hooray!
And, if I’m completely honest, digital diaries aren’t for me. Yes, they are fab for work, but when it comes to everything else, I need something that I can flick open and see, in my actual hands.
I want to share this super cute Busy B To Do Diary, because it’s quite possibly my favourite Busy B Diary to date. Come and have a peek inside.
Everything at Busy B is designed to help keep you organised. Whether it’s just yourself or the whole family, work or for pleasure, there is something for everyone. There’s usually some sort of compromise when it comes to stationary, it’s super practical and doesn’t look that great. Or, it looks really pretty, but doesn’t deliver. However, I’m sure I’m not the only one who will shout that Busy B have absolutely nailed the balance of creating beautiful products that work.
The Busy B To Do Diary has a double spread showing the whole year for 2022 and 2023. It’s simple, clean design makes it so handy for figuring out important dates. For me I’d be looking at school holidays, when to book work leave and negotiating travel plans!
The yearly overview is great. But… the monthly overview pages completely steal the show for me. There’s a double spread for every month. Yass!! It’s big enough to pencil things in, and there’s space to add notes too. This is really important for planning for us, and for me to be able to see what’s happening over the month at a glance.
You know… things like… my new children’s book publication date (book birthday) on the 1st March! *grins from ear to ear.
Without a doubt, a weekly view of what’s happening is most peoples go-to area in a diary. It’s where we might scribble things like school trip, inset day or shopping delivery! If you’re a blogger, you’ll probably have events, write ups, deadlines and linky’s added in too. However, before you know it, your diary can end up looking like a spider has spun its web across it, and you can barely work out a deadline from an early school pick up!
But not to worry, when it comes to the Busy B To Do Diary. They have you completely covered.
We love the weekly layout which has a good space for the week on one page and a whole page to write notes on the other. Yes, a whole entire page!!
Little pockets between every few months are handy to store receipts, tickets and scribbled on bits of paper *me… with new story ideas! I never knew I needed these pockets until I started using these diaries!
And as if that wasn’t enough… yes. Busy B have even added loads of tear out list pages. Because, who doesn’t love *and need a good list!
Finally, amongst the extra pages for notes, contacts, and useful information is a very handy ‘dates for next year’ spread. There are no actual dates, just a lined boxed area for making a note of possible holidays, events and important dates. *I think I might sneak Disneyland in there hehe!
The Busy B To Do Diary is completely brilliant! And, as I said earlier, quite possibly my favourite Busy B Diary to date *I’ve had a few of them! It’s gorgeous design makes me want to pick it up all the time, and it’s clever organisation of sections makes it very practical to use and see information at a glance.
I’d absolutely recommend it!
And possibly even better, that’s currently a sale on! So you can get this specific one at a steal for just £6.50! Whoop whoop!!!
Disclosure: I’m sharing Busy B’s To Do Diary because I think you’ll love it. I haven’t been asked to. I purchased this diary myself, because I needed it (wanted it!). All views are of course my own. *Bloggers do actually do this quite a bit 😉

I already have my diary for this year, Annette, but as this one looks great, I will look out for it next year#mischiefandmemories
Nope. No digital diaries for this girl, either. I need pen and paper.
Ooo what a gorgeous diary and lots of space to write down ideas x #mischeieveandmemories
I need to be able to visually see the month at a time – so I use a small wall calendar but as a diary on my desk. Isn’t it strange how the mind works? #MischiefandMemories
I’m a massive fan of a week to a page organisation – don’t get me wrong, I also like long-term planning and this looks great for bloggers and busy families #MischiefandMemories
I love the design of that organiser. It’s so pretty. I love how much space you have to write everything down. A great organiser for those who work from home.
I’ve not really used diaries much. I do love the look of the way this one is layed out and the cover design x
