I have a favorite pen. I know I’m not the only one. You also have a favorite pen, right?

For whatever reason, my nicest handwriting, my best brainstorming, and my most meaningful journaling times are when I’m using my favorite pen. This may be as weird as my “can’t handle sticker on produce” issues so if you don’t also have a favorite pen…just whatever. Not all pens are created equal and if it isn’t my Pentel, I just can’t write nicely. This is for real.

I really prefer a black pen (thanks for asking) but the colored ones are fun too. They have these squishy finger grippers that are just right for, you know, gripping. If I lose the lid to my pen, it ruins the entire writing experience because while I’m writing, the lid to my pen must be securely on the end of the pen or I just can’t hold it correctly. This is also for real.

I should probably stick to blogging recipes and homemaking stuff because writing about my weirdness may scare people away. Though I, for one, think that good pens are a part of homemaking. The best grocery lists are written with pens like these. And they are certainly a part of my healthy spiritual walk (reference the meaningful journaling times above).

Well, all that to say: If you don’t have a favorite pen, maybe you’d like my favorite pen to become your favorite pen? Then we can {squeal!} be pen pals (except not the actual kind who write letters to each other, because while I love the idea of that, I stink at writing letters to people. I’m not proud of this.)

So there I was, looking at Amazon for organic food coupons (found this one for coconut oil) – and would you believe I came across a coupon for a whole pack of my favorite pens?! Indeed. Be still my heart.

I’m going to grab a couple of packs to use for all the reasons I love these pens, plus to share with the teen girls at church camp I’ll be teaching in a few weeks. I figure they might not yet have a favorite pen so I need to take advantage of these moments during their formative years.

Please tell me you have a favorite pen.
