Hi! I’m Jacklyn, a SAHM of two and a firm believer that it’s okay to not have a niche!
My life is constantly evolving, and honestly, I’ve been wrong about who I was at every stage. I went from "never wanting kids" in my 20s to "corporate all the way" in my 30s. Now in my 40s, I couldn't imagine my life any other way!
My channel is all about documenting what’s bringing me joy right now:
• Mom Life: “Week in my Hobonichi” gives you a glimpse into my life all while recording in my Hobonichi Weeks
• Journaling & Planning: I find joy sharing my layout ideas with you all, I get bored quite quickly so I learned using a different layout every week keeps it exciting for me.
• Reviews & Ratings: I love to try, test, and share my honest opinions on everything from skincare to clothing to shows!
Let’s find the joy in the everyday together!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
Just a heads up, no video this week. Focusing on Teacher Appreciation Week stuff has taken my energy and creativity. I'm so sorry! I really hate missing a week but I also don't want to rush a video out sloppily.
Here's a little hint of the next video.

Hi Everyone! Thank you so much for your patience as I've been indulging in The Traitors review videos. It wasn't everyone's cup of tea, and being a completionist, I needed to review to the end of the season or it would have kept me up at night.
I will have a February Flip Through for you all next week (today will be the last Traitors video) and then I have some other fun videos in mind that I hope you will enjoy.
In the meantime, here's a video you may not have seen. I really loved shooting my end of the year layout recap this way.
Thank you for supporting me in my hodge podge of interests.

Decided to spend time with family last week so this week's video will be out on Friday. I hope you all had a Happy Holiday and wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

There is a good chance that there will be no video this week. Between having Covid, and at least one kid out of school 4 out of 5 days last week, I've fallen behind. The streak-lover in me is beating myself up and thinking maybe I can get this out by Friday, since this would be the first week I've missed since I first uploaded in Dec. 2023 but...I don't want to rush. Please accept my apology if I am absent this week.

Hi Everyone, just had to private my most recent video because I noticed a few glitches in the upload, it's not in the original video so maybe something happened during upload? Will try to upload again and hopefully these glitches disappear. Fingers crossed!

Hi Everyone! If you watched last week's video, you know that this week will be the first of a new style of video. I just felt like my life wasn't exciting or aesthetic to share on a weekly basis, but also, I get really excited when I do videos where I rank or review things and wanted to shift my time doing that. Tomorrow's video will be released at 1pm PST...I will warn you...it is a ridiculous idea that I hadn't been able to talk myself out of making it for months so...here we are. I hope you enjoy, thank you so much for sticking with me while I figure out who I am in the content creation space.🩷💚🩷

TGIF! My YouTube goal for 2025 was to try to post more videos.
Every Wednesday I will have my regularly scheduled Vlogtales and then I would like to post 1-2 extra videos a month on random things I enjoy.
Tomorrow a review video for nuuly (the clothing subscription service) will be released at 11:11am PST. I really love fashion and reviewing things and this was so fun to make!
For my planner/journal community, I'm working on a video to show you how I'm using my months and notes pages in my Hobonichi Weeks this year so be sure to be on the lookout for that! I'll also start doing flip-throughs again but I'll be doing those quarterly so you'll have lots of layouts in each video.
Thank you for your support and I hope to get better and better for you all!

This week's Vlogtales takes place during the first week of the LA Fires. I thought about omitting Monday because the week started with a haul, but kept it in since it was real life.
I've linked two gofundme links from those I know who have personally been affected by the fire. Please consider helping if you feel so inclined.

Thank you so much and thank you for your support ❤️

Trying a new style of video today where I mix journaling with vlog clips. I'm trying to come up with a cool name, I'm not loving "vlournal" so I'd love your input to what I should call these videos!

Happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a good day! This week I'll be releasing another video, other than The Valley Alfred video I released yesterday. Tomorrow stay tuned for my 2025 Hobonichi Haul!
I'm also currently working on a big 25 Layout Ideas video for the Hobonichi Weeks which will be out next Wednesday, the 25th. Thank you for your support!
