8 Thankful and Grateful for November Sponsors

I am generally a very grateful and thankful person, but it is this time of the year when I bump it up a notch.  I sit and reflect and even get a bit teary about our blessings and the people in our lives.  I think about our family, our friends, our home and our careers.... And I turn into this ooey gooey emotional grateful mess of a person.  That makes today a very special day for me since I get to take a moment to appreciate and thank those that support this blog and keep me coming back day after day.  I am so fortunate to do what I love!



They are each amazing for endless reasons any many are offering up special promos and discounts to you lovely friends as well, so enjoy!

My pal Holly Bohn is the Founder and Creative Director of See Jane Work.


Yes we are busy, but we can still have fun. And we can still express our individuality. That is why See Jane Work was born. They know you don't have time to search every website that comes up on Google looking for a notebook that says a little more about you than, "I got a coupon in the mail from Office Mart." You want something that says, "I am unique. I have style. I will not wear sweatpants to a meeting with a client ever again, no matter how late I am running." 

They feel inspiration comes a little easier to those writing their thoughts in a pink leather journal rather than on the back of an envelope.



See Jane Work appreciates your business, so much so that they have created Jane's Rewards; a way for you to earn points doing what you love... shopping at seejanework.com.



See Jane Work has a new line available exclusively at Office Depot!



You can connect with See Jane Work by checking out their website here, their Facebook page here and following them on Twitter here.

Fridge Coasters are super absorbent “liners” that come in different sizes to fit all high traffic areas in your refrigerator.

In addition, we’re really proud to say that our sustainable product is made 100% in the USA of 30% (or more) post consumer product.

    Buttoned Up, Inc. was founded in 2004 by four women, three sisters and a best friend...

    They realized the necessity for a tool like Life.doc after experiencing significant life changes − from moving across the country to setting up house after 9/11 to getting divorced after 38 years of marriage to having kids and grand-kids. Each of them felt the need to get their lives organized but were unable to find products that could help them control their chaos. They wanted to be liberated from the rigid organizational systems that they bought annually and stopped using after just a few weeks.

    After several years of trial, error, effort and research, they started Buttoned Up whose mission is to give women the tools they need to live an organized life not a life of organization.

    They currently offer all sorts of great document kits to keep you organized in every aspect of your life!

    {Life.doc, Moving.kit, File.starter, Medical.doc}


    You can also find all sorts of organizing tips and topics they share on their blog and incredible freebie organizing printables here:



    Michelle runs a time and money saving blog that is sure to make all of your lives easier!  Michelle's
    title says it all.  It's quite amazing really and absolutely worth looking at.  YOU can cook 5 dinners in just ONE hour too!!

    Here's how:
    Michelle has created a plan to cook all 5 dinners for the week in just ONE hour. All the menu plans have family friendly meals that feed 4-6 people and no, they are not all casseroles.

    The meals are fresh, not frozen. They keep in your refrigerator until ready to heat and eat!


    You could spend one hour on a Saturday or Sunday preparing 5 meals for your busy week!!  Yep, it only costs you the cost of the groceries and the one hour time investment, and you have meals for the whole week!  Done!  Check out Make 5 Dinners in 1 Hour for more details.





    Many thanks again to all those who support this happy place I like to call home!  My appreciation is endless!  I am thankful for YOU!

    5. The Buttoned Up links don't work. :( If you click on the picture, like it says to, it just opens the photo in another browser/tab and the link to their free printables is just a link to blogger.com. Is there any way to fix this because I'd like to investigate them further.
