If you’re as nosy as we are, you might like to see where most of Bonjour, Blogger comes from! (For those who don’t know, I’m Hayley, and I write most of the posts on here :) )
Because I have a laptop, I like to keep everything I might need on a tray, so I can move around the house with it. (I also have a desk with a ridiculous sized monitor on, but it’s nice to have a change of scenery!)
On here, I keep a jar of coloured pens, the blog ideas jar, some Post-It’s, lipbalm and blog cards, as well as my iPhone. This A5 folder from the Martha Stewart range at Staples (with these inserts) is small enough to carry in my bag to work, and means I can write wherever – even on the bus! I have a Kindle (of course) which I use to read books about blogging, etc, but also articles that I have sent to my Kindle using an Instapaper subscription (It’s about $3 a quarter (I think?) and allows you to click a button to get a whole article sent to your Kindle. Super useful, especially when searching for a specific topic!)
This wall planner is also from the Martha Stewart range at Staples (I may be a little obsessed with it!) and I find it useful to jot which blog posts will be posted and when. I wish there was a version small enough to fit inside the folder, but this is useful as it’s above my desk.
If you’ve done a post like this (or you’re inpired to do one!), then I’d love you to share your links in the widget below!
I really like your tray table,we really need a desk in our house.I blog from either the sofa or dining room table which is usually strewn with all sorts
It was only £20 on Amazon, but I’ve found it so useful to be able to keep everything I need all together in one space.
As soon as I actually get my blogging space organized, I’ll have to do one of these posts because they’re my favorite! I am envious of how organized you are!
I’d love to see your post! I can’t work in a mess – it just distracts me too much :)
This is amazing! I really love the idea of a blogging space, something I need to consider doing. Really great post Haley!
Thank you! It sometimes works in getting me to blog, but as my poor neglected personal site shows, not always!
Where did you get your blogging tray from? This sounds like a fabulous idea and i would love to mimic it.
I bought it from Amazon* from a Marketplace seller called “This Is It Famous Value Stores*”. It was just £20 + £4 p&p, but the current price is £40! Not sure I’d pay that much tbh!
I have an “eBay room”, since I spend a lot of time selling on eBay. It doubles as an office when I’m working from home and is great for blogging. I’m going to lose it in the new year when it becomes our spare room, and we merge the eBay room and my boyfriend’s gaming room into one. http://fromalditoharrods.com/ebay-room/
I love being nosey at other bloggers “areas” where they feel inspired & motivated :) gives me some helpful tips, plus i love the jar for post ideas – i’m doing one next year but for things that happend in my life in 2014 :) kinda like a memory jar :)

I blog from the corner of the sofa and take all of my styled shots on the dining room table. Not very glam at all!
Your tray is cute! I blog from my desk, but originally thought this post was about where in the world we’re blogging from, haha. In that case, I blog from Denmark ;)
That tray is such a good idea! I blog on my laptop from my sofa, but would be so handy to have all my blogging bits in one place…
