About Us
At MB Journals, we believe in the transformative power of putting pen to paper. Our thoughtfully designed journals are here to inspire calm, clarity, and connection; both within ourselves and with others.
Our Story
MB Journals was born from a personal journey. As a new mom navigating postpartum depression and isolation in a remote town, I found comfort and strength in gratitude journaling. Writing became a way to reconnect with myself and rediscover hope during challenging times. That simple, life-changing habit became the heart of MB Journals.
Today what started as a healing practice has grown into a meaningful business. One that supports metal well-being and helps others do the same; whether they're journaling for themselves or gifting tools of reflection to those they care about.
What We Offer
We create beautiful, practical journals and notebooks that encourage reflection and well-being. From our Gratitude Journals to Mini Wellness Workbooks, lined notebooks, and fully custom-designed options, each product is thoughtfully crafted to support personal growth and intentional living.

Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Melissa Black, founder of MB Journals, mother, creative, and mental health advocate. After experiencing postpartum depression and deep isolation while living far from home, I turned to gratitude journaling as a lifeline. It grounded me, gave me clarity, and slowly helped me heal.
That personal experience sparked something bigger: a desire to help others find the same support and space through journaling. MB Journals is more than a business, it’s a passion project rooted in empathy, lived experience, and a commitment to mental well-being.
