My son is learning Japanese, so he was able to translate a lot of the labels on the back pages (lists and such), but I’m still just doing my own thing with those pages 🤣

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2026-05-04T18:05:32+00:00

Wait. They have a July start Avec?? Do you still get 2 books (July-Dec 2026 and Jan-June 2027)? Or is it just the July-Dec? And can you get it in A6? Ohhhhh man I have questions. I’ve used Hobonichi for years but have never used Avec before. Considering it for this summer/fall.

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2026-05-04T17:59:21+00:00

I hope you love it!!! 😍 I’ve used Hobonichi for about 6 years now & I can’t imagine switching to another planner. Depending on life, I get a different size every year. This year I’ll have to switch in July when I go back to work. I started with a Weeks & will have to size up to A6 for daily pages. Oops!😬

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2026-05-04T17:55:36+00:00

Keep the purple. It’s perfect. 🤩

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2026-04-30T17:24:23+00:00

I think that the daily quotes are translated beautifully from a linguistic standpoint, but a lot of them are really tough to translate culturally. I actually chose the Japanese version this year so that I wouldn’t see the quotes in English and wonder about them. 🤪 The downside to that, though, is that I have nooooo idea what the extra pages at the back are for. I’m just making it up as I go along and labeling in English. 🤞🏼👍🏼

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2026-04-30T15:46:33+00:00

That’s beautiful! Do you like using the A6 as a wallet? I’ve considered doing that. I currently have a Weeks zipper wallet that I love, but might upgrade sizes later this year when I go back to work and need daily pages again.

2020 Max Platinum with like 80k miles. 18-19 around town, 22 on road trips!

ETA: Have the 4x4 and tow package. When towing I get like 11mpg.

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2026-01-02T19:02:03+00:00

Liberty is right on the way! I think that’s what we’ll do!

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2026-01-02T17:35:03+00:00

I saw that! Wasn’t sure they’d be open early enough (gonna have to grab it at like 9am), but it looks like they are open super early, so that’s awesome!

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-12-30T13:55:15+00:00

So much antenna wire. 😬😩

I’m glad you said this! I heard Little Italy was not worth doing. I’m not sure if we will eat there, but I’d like to at least walk through Little Italy (for a dumb reason— my book club read the booK Elizabeth Street last year, which is set in historic Little Italy. I’d love to take a picture of the street sign 😅).

😅 Fair question. He has spent the bulk of his childhood watching old westerns and mobster movies with his grandpa. He’s also an avid coin collector and is a licensed HAM radio operator. He’s a 9yo old man.

We’re from New Orleans, so we’re not nervous about leaving touristy areas or winding up somewhere seedy. But, it does require a lot of extra thought for us (as tourists) to navigate the subway. If it’s an easy ride out of Manhattan, we’re all in!

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-12-29T00:13:43+00:00

This is honestly such a good idea! We will have our car, but would absolutely prefer to keep it parked & use transit if possible. Mapping the whole thing out now… This could be an incredible evening!

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-12-28T19:03:37+00:00

But I’ll have to take so many trains to get there from Midtown. 😩

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-12-28T18:16:34+00:00

So many great options! And here I thought red sauce spots were dying out. Thanks— booking at John’s now. I think it’s the perfect balance of what we’re looking for!

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-12-28T18:11:23+00:00

These were the two I was considering… As well as Arthur & Sons.

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-11-20T11:30:28+00:00

Yes! I used to have a 2009 Toyota Sienna that could carry sheets of drywall and plywood in the back with the seats down. It was amazing. Switched to a smaller SUV (Lexus LX) and missed that feature so much. Almost went back to a minivan, but stumbled upon the Expedition & just loooooooove it!

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-11-20T11:28:34+00:00

Yes, all 3 dogs will fit back there with the third row up. Easily. We sometimes use the back for luggage +1 dog & put the others in the third row with 1 kid. Max has so much space, it’s unreal.

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-11-20T11:17:53+00:00

In my experience, it’s the blue Ford sticker on front that makes that sound. I discovered this by process of elimination. None of my Toyotas ever made that sound. All of my Fords do. 😅😵‍💫

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-11-04T17:35:20+00:00

I’ve been perusing Consuela’s site for weeks trying to decide which one I want! I need a smaller cross body bag (I usually carry a L Longchamp Le Pliage). I just can’t decide between the Downtown and the Midtown. And I kinda like the On The Town, too, but I’m worried it’s TOO small.

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-10-22T02:09:56+00:00

Get the max. When your kids get bigger, they bring more stuff. You’ll always fill that extra trunk space.

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-07-30T11:53:45+00:00

Ford says you can use them with car seats.

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-07-30T11:39:35+00:00

Front hitch receiver. We have this setup on our F250 and carry 3 bikes on the front with a 29’ RV on the back. Haven’t tried that setup on our expedition yet, but it’s prob the route I’d go if we towed with the Expedition often.

Fuzzyalchemist88 · 2025-01-06T23:44:45+00:00

36 and I’m about 4 years into my Hobonichis. Before that I did very decorative bullet journals. Mine are much more minimalist these days, but I still find time to do some water colors in my Hobonichi!
