Moleskine is a favorite in my family when it comes to notebooks. From their hardbacks to softcovers, lined to plain paper, oversized to pocket-sized, we have them all. In fact, we usually buy more than one of any given Moleskine at a time. Why the Moleskine mania, you ask? Mark and our daughters spend a lot of time doing art, and they love using Moleskines as sketchbooks. And we all write, whether it's journaling, jotting down ideas, taking notes in class, or scribbling down to-dos for the day.

Although the bulk of our notebook collection is made up of the larger Moleskine Classic Notebooks, we now have a nice heap of these small, 3.5" x 5.5" Cahier Journals as well. We've got them with both lined and plain paper. They are 64 pages (32 paper sheets) each and come in a set of three. Half the sheets are perforated so that you can tear them out, and on the inside back cover you'll find a little pocket, which, although I haven't really used, is a cute touch. Their plain cardboard covers just beg to be decorated, which Mark and the girls like to do. Because they're so light, I always keep one in my purse for notes. My one warning: Buy with caution - it takes only one purchase to become a Moleskine fanatic.
