🦦 I designed this journal for a friend of mine who adores otters. And okay, what's NOT to adore? They're so cut and fuzzy even when they're wet. And those YouTube videos of them eating watermelon! Omigod. So I made this journal with the goal to make you smile and brighten your day, just like one of those YT vids. Writing in a journal or diary has a multitude of benefits.
