* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *
What organization loving woman doesn't love a planner? I've had an obsession with planners my whole life. I've even been known to purchase several different kinds at once, using all of them at the same time, just because I like them. Crazy? Absolutely.
A few weeks ago Buttoned Up asked me if I wanted to review and giveaway one of their Weekly.Agenda planners. Of course! (Yeah, I know...I do a lot of planner talking around here.)
Here are the highlights, that I truly find amazing...
- Size. It's 4.75" x 6.57" - perfect for my purse. The clasp on the side is magnetic, keeping everything crisp and clean on the inside when tossed in a bag.
- Bookmarks. Yes, plural. There are two. Two ribbons that you'll never lose because they're attached in the spine. Brilliant.
- To-Do & To Contact lists...for every week - with lots of space. Believe it. This is one thing I've been missing with my current planner.
- Perforated page corners. Get out of town. Back when I was in high school, my school planners had this sweet feature and I loved it. If the bookmark ever falls out of it's place, it's so easy/fast to find where you were, because the torn corners mark weeks of your past.
- Notes. I'm a list making girl...so this section is a must.
- Organizational tips. Shut up. No, seriously...I am in love with it. Get a tip every week (on the to-do list pages) and read tips in a section in the back. Just what I've always wanted. Reading material when I'm waiting at the doctor...and something that I'm into. *sigh*
- Shopping & errand lists...perforated, so you can take them on the go. I'm out of words at this point. Honest.
- Pockets. On the front and back cover. For real. Coupons, appointment cards, etc...never to be lost again.
Don't you love it? I honestly couldn't believe my eyes when I received mine. I've seen it advertised online a bunch, but the plain cover never caught my eye like the other planners I love do...so I guess you could say I judged it by it's cover. My bad. The inside is amazing though. Want simple and budget friendly, yet organizationally savvy and fun inside? This is the planner for you.
Consider giving the gift of organization this holiday season with Buttoned Up products.

In reviewing the organizer, the to-do lists and contacts portion would really help me in 2012. The idea of having it ALL in one planner would be divine. I have a small 2 year calendar that has gotten me by, but the blocks are too small to really list anything, and if I want a to-do list which includes calls I have to make, I have to write in a separate book and carry that. I'm currently using/carrying a steno notebook. It works, but it could be better.
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays,

I love the "To Do and To Call" list for each week. This would really help me in my business. Looks like a GREAT calendar, and I have been putting off buying my 2012... this may be why. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been on the prowl for a great planner! I honestly couldn't choose just one feature... having one place to dump my brain would be insanely helpful overall. I love that it includes tips though. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

What a great planner!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use the “To Do & To Contact” feature.
I recently had a baby (May) then tragically loss my father (August).
Doctor appointments, life insurance, day care, & probate court…
Everything needs to be done and I can’t remember to tie my shoes.
Thanks for the opportunity!

I would use the contact and daily entries so much! I am 31 consultant and this would be PERFECT for keeping up with my weekly parties.
ReplyDeletejennadcaldwell at gmail dot com
Oooh, the shopping list and the calendar. Honestly, just having a book like this would help get me organized.

I love the errand list and the shopping list. I have had several planners before but this one seems to have it all!

No question about it--I need the To Do and Errand lists where I can find them, instead of random scraps of paper I lose.
ReplyDeleteI am a super busy mom and love planners! I love the way this product breaks down some of the basics. I love the size and snap closure for the product, it will definately fit in my purse :) I also love the little extras like the book marks and organizational tips, because lord knows that I need them! Thanks for posting this!!! schaefer1007@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteUhm planners are my life! I just have a serious issue finding ones that I like! I'm a very picky person, and what really attracted me to this one is the perforated corners! I also had one in high school that did that and it was amazing! Of course, the years that I got one without...I folded my pages all cute but that made for a bulky agenda! :(
ReplyDeleteBut what would really help me in 2012 is with baby #2 due early Jan is the weekly to-do lists and who to contact. Having a new baby means lots of appointments and phone calls to make. Amazing how something so small can make all the difference!
You had me at "perforated shopping and errand lists!!" My purse is FULL of crumpled post-its and scrap paper with all my lists and then I lose them in the mess!

I think the notes would come in especially handy!
ReplyDeleteThe pockets and tear off corners!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe shopping list would be the best for me:) I hope i win
ReplyDeleteI Love Love Love this!! This would absolutely help me in 2012 because of the fact that its all in one! I am very busy between my full time job, and going to college full time as well. I hope I win! :) :)

The shopping lists! I'm always somewhere (or driving) and think of something I want or a gift I want to get for someone. By the time I get home to write it down, I've totally forgotten it.
ReplyDeleteNice planner! I could use the organization tips...and the perforated corners look wonderful!!
ReplyDeletePockets to help organize coupons by expiry date! I find that I miss out sometimes because the dates slip by. Anyway to help that would be amazing!

The to do lists each week and the perforated corners. Although the whole planner sounds great!
ReplyDeleteBTW ... love your blog :)

This may sound really silly, but the attached ribbon bookmarks are what sold me. I have had planners with plastic bookmarks, but I've lost the bookmarks:-(
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great giveaway!
libneas[at]aol[dot]com
Oh my gosh, where to start... the pockets, the perforated page corners, the wide-open weekly to-do list spaces... I would be in heaven. I have forms of all of those things in a planner, a loose-leaf to-do list, and my catch-all notebook that would be consolidated into this glorious little book... I will probably buy one for myself if I don't win (despite the fact that I already have my 2012 planner).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

Awesome! The weekly "To Do and Contact Lists" would really help me stay organized...I currently have number and lists in all my planner margins :-) And I LOVE the idea of tear out shopping/errand lists. Great review!
ReplyDeleteandrakd (at) gmail (dot) com
PS- shannonbone@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love the Perforated page corners too!. I don't know why, it is such a simple idea. I could even do it myself with scissors at the end of the day. But what fun would that be. If I have to keep an agenda (which I do- one for work one for home life) why not get pampered with Perforated page corners. What a fantastic idea! Boy, I sure hope I am lucky- fingers-crossed!
I love the double ribbon, which allows you to place-hold two different places! Also, the separate To Do and To Contact would help me get SO much more organized! I would love to own one of these...I wish I could afford to buy one myself. *crossing fingers*
ReplyDeletemichellebernasconi14(at)gmail(dot)com
I would use the contact and to do list the most! I love that it has a to contact list. I have never seen that before and I always have a plethora of people to call each week! I'm so in love.
ReplyDeletekristy.honsvick@gmail.com
I think the organizational tips will be helpful for me. If I get a few tips each week it'll just enough so that I won't feel overwhelmed with ideas, thus feeling completely inept!

ReplyDeleteI like the shopping and errand lists.
ReplyDeleteSusan@ smiller6483@yahoo.com
Wow! What a fabulous planner. This is exactly what I have been looking for in a planner. I have already purchased 3 planners this year and haven't liked a single one. This planner has everything I need to keepstart me and my family organized. Thank you for finding it for me. I must have this planner. I would absolutely use every inch of this planner.
ReplyDeleteJamie
Jamieraeburnette@gmail.com
OMG, love this planner. My favorite part is that the grocery list is included & tearable. I keep a little pad of paper tucked in my current planner for groceries/extra-to-do lists, but having it included is WAY better. Fantastic planner!
ReplyDeleteI love this planner! I especially like the todo list and calendar so that I can keep my entire family organized. I love that it has compartments and so many ways to keep everything in one place to help you stay organized. helari@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteAll the features sound great, this planner has it all. I love the pockets to corral all the receipts floating in my purse and the perforated corners. I would also be excited to read all the tips in the planner, just the right thing to keep me motivated to keep on top of getting organized.
ReplyDeletegfmom3 at gmail dot com
I'd get a weekly planner. I struggle every year with which planner to get, which would be most helpful. I too had one years ago with perferated corners and thought it was pretty boss.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this planner! Love the weekly to-do list, being included in the planner maybe I won't lose it. On second thought then I'd have no excuse for not getting it done ;-) Thanks for this chance.
ReplyDeleteI love the Weekly To Do and Contact list. Such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThis planner has it all and is awsome! I love the grocery and errand list, specially since you can tear it out! Thank you for the chance! Follow you through FB.

I love the to contact and to do lists. I have always been obsessed with planners too :) Thanks for the opportunity!

It's all in one place! I currently have a spiral bound calendar, a notebook with my to-do list, a clipboard with my daily list and a bunch of iPhone apps I'm trying to use to keep my and my busy family organized! Would LOVE to win this!
ReplyDeletethe shopping and errand list. I am always forgetting something!
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to find something to help keep me organized. We have 2 children in different activities in school and out. Along with my husbands bowling and my job & two hobby jobs, I can't seem to always keep up. One of the features I would use the most is the lists! I love making lists of things to do/buy! I would absolutely love to win this!!

oh. my! where has this been? I totally relate with you, I use multiple planners/calendars too...drives my DH batty, but I LOVE the feeling of being organized...anyway. this is the PERFECT planner!

ReplyDeletejmcarlson10@gmail.com
Love the to-do lists for each week and shopping lists! Right now I have multiple shopping and to-do lists laying around everywhere!
ReplyDeleteOk this is something I really need to get! I have been following your blog for just a short time, trying to get myself organized:) I have two kids, work and a husband that does just as much as my kids. Writing things down I have gotten better at lately! It's the remembering where I wrote them down at that hangs me up know. Also hoping that I don't have another obligation I have wrote down for the day. Believe me I think ALL the features would be wonderful but the size to me is the seller! The features won't help me if I couldn't carry it in my purse. I would still have list, date, phone numbers everywhere. Thanks so much for helping me be a better mom and wife with you organizing tips:)
ReplyDeletemkmoore82@yahoo.com
Having the "To do" and "To contact" as separate lists will help me a lot. I hate combining them into one list because most of the things on my "To do" list need to be done at my college's library, where I obviously can't be making and returning phone calls.
ReplyDeleteI can also see myself LOVING the "organization tips" section!
bberg1010@gmail.com
I love the full-month calendar overview. A lot of planners just have daily pages or weekly views, but I need a normal calendar built in to my planner, too. All in one with the many other features makes this perfect :) HBrown@bfacademy.de
ReplyDeleteThe most important and useful thing for me would be the weekly page. I rarely get to get my stuff done on the day I say, so if I put goals for the week, maybe that will help. Pretty much everything you mentioned I was like Really?! Sounds like a great little planner! Thanks for the chance to get one!
ReplyDeleteI love the tear off corners, I can never remember where I am in my current planner.
ReplyDeleteI found you through Pinterest! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the weekly to do list and the organizational tips. One can never learn enough about being organize.

I love the grocery list that's detachable! That makes it so much more convenient. I also could definitely use the to do list..I forget everything that isn't written directly in front of me!
ReplyDeleteI am moving in with my fiance in January and he has no organizational skills! Its going to be a lot of work to get our lives to work together. I think this planner would be great way to start and get us off on the right foot! I love lists and the fact that this as a spot of lists makes my heart flutter!
ReplyDeleteI am a military wife and we have finally settled somewhere long enough for me to get my master's in counseling (so excited!). I would definitely use this to organize all our functions on base, at my job, and my first semester starting in January!
ReplyDeleteI love the tear off corners!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the "To-Do & To Contact lists." I am graduating from Med school soon, so there are many items to cross off and people to contact to make sure I don't stress myself out even more! Love this website...it's helped me out a great deal!!
ReplyDeleteannbeiermann@gmail.com
I am in love!!!! I have already put it on top of my Christmas wish list and what a great find at only $19.95. I am a single mom and nurse with an incredibly busy schedule, this will be a woderful addition to my noble attempt to get organized once again.
ReplyDeletetinam@otelco.net
I am always trying to find a way to get organized, but haven't found the right planner. I think I just found it! I look forward to the important date pages and the organizational tips!!
ReplyDeleteThe entire planner will be useful, but I would use the To-Do List, the To-Contact List, and the Shopping List the most. I love the idea of perforated pages and organizational tips, too! Thank you for offering the opportunity to win such a great planner!
ReplyDeleteEverything would be helpful!!! but the Errands list is definitely appealing as it feels like my list never ends. It would be great to have all of my lists in one place!
ReplyDeleteserenab3@hotmail.com
Wow! This planner is great! Of all of the great features, I believe the organizational tips would help me the most. My husband and I recently got married, and merging our lives (read apartments) from two to one has been a very messy undertaking to say the least! I almost don't know where to start! I'd really love to read those tips to help organize our lives and home.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. The organizational tips obviously would always be a huge help! BUT what I think would be great for me and my crazy life is the To-Do List portion of the pages because I am a list girl too, as well as the Bookmarking of pages. So helpful and easy to get to! Just what I need!!!
ReplyDeleteAs a mom-to-be this planner would be #1 for me!

This looks like a FABULOUS planner. I have been looking for a small "all-in-one" on the go type planner to stash into my diaper bag. With 3 kiddos under 3- i have little time and little space and need my to do list, coupons, and everything else in the SAME place! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI'm a secretary and all I can say is -- PLLLLEEEAASSSEE! I love it! I've been slowly working on getting control of all the aspects of my home life in addition to being the best I can be at work and this would be a fabulous help. Dating a military man who is always on the go and I'm always trying to tag along doesn't leave a lot time to think things out and organize. I believe this will be very helpful with speeding up the process.

What feature(s) of the Weekly.Agenda planner would help you get organized in 2012?
ReplyDeleteAll of it. I love that everything is in one book. Having so many books to try and keep track of things makes me more mixed up. Everything being in one place would help me get organized and stay organized! I would really love this!!

Every aspect of this planner is a definite must for me in 2012!! I'm a sucker for planners but the generic ones are always missing a little something. This one seriously has everything you need! I plan work events, church events, personal events..so this would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI Love this planner! I am in love with the idea of a "to do" AND a "to contact" list! Half of my to do list is calls I need to make, so this perfect!

The shopping and errand lists. I work at a school with special ed kids and I often have great ideas that I write on a piece of paper or sticky note that gets lost in the shuffle of the day. It'd be nice to have one central location to write the ideas, and put the supplies I need on a shopping list or errand list.

The fact that everything is together and there are dedicated lists to help you organize is probably the best feature for me! I think this would be a great planner for me!

Awesome planner!! Planners are my lifeline to keeping things straight for my family of nine. Yep, seven kids, so to choose one option of the planner that would help me would be hard to choose, but if I had to I would have to say the 'notes' section or the 'shopping/errands' section. I do ALOT of both! Even if I don't win, I might have to just go to the site & buy one. :o)

Beauitful organizer, that's very useful, I love the to do lists, notes shopping/errands and the way they are presented. Set up to do and not fail- i like that!
ReplyDeleteAs a mother of a teenage varsity cheerleader, an eleven year old athlete, a husband with a traumatic brain injury, I am constantly looking for planners and even purses and tote bags that are truly functional not just pretty. As a matter of fact, how many of us as busy women long for some organization and functionality in many areas of our lives...Mine is my home.
ReplyDeleteThis planner sounds like it truly has a place for the thing you need most. From the pockets to all of the specific places to write things (how many of us have 3 "to-do" notebooks started because our first one is in a different bag! lol) As a mom, a caregiver, an employee, and an "athlete mom" among other things, this planner sounds like it could be the functional planner I have been searching for! I would love to be the one to try to see if I will be asking the question, "Where have you been all my life?" (LOL) Thanks for considering me! My email address in praisetohim2@yahoo.com
