The only problem with this method, now that there are children afoot: my fancy new notebook is invariably trashed long before the next January 1. But I think I've found the perfect solution. Let's judge these Robert le héros notebooks from Quo Vadis by their covers: lovely colors, beautiful designs... on silkscreened leatherette, which is sturdier than standard-issue notebook coverstock, and way harder for little hands to maul. And the satin-finish paper inside--which is made from pulp from sustainably-managed forests--is by Clairefontaine, a respected European paper mill.
It's a perfect example of style meets substance, which isn't a bad way to start a new year at all. Bring on the crayon scribbles. -Lexi
