{Emilie and I at my wedding almost 6 years ago, I tried to find a more embarrassing picture from our younger years but thought she might not appreciate it. And there were several.}
Although I’m not sure I would call Emilie my “Admin Professional”, she is crazy amazing and this seemed like a nice opportunity to give her a shout-out. I don’t think most of you know all the work she does here at TBFL behind the scenes, so let me share a little.
She keeps me sane so I can blog better for you. She reigns me in. She listens to my crazy ideas and helps put a focus on them so we don’t end up in Never Never Land. She comes up with crazy ideas.
She takes some of the back-end weight off my shoulders, especially when I’m struggling with non-napping Dudes and have zero time to actually focus on the computer.
She finds you amazing Amazon deals.
She does the majority of the coordination for our giveaways, which is why you all have had the opportunity to win some fantastic prizes. Who doesn’t need a Swaddle Designs Angry Birds onesie and blanket?
She makes her family a very detailed Household Binder and gladly shares it with us, so we can attempt to be more organized.
She gets up at 5 AM just like me, so we can chat about everything blog-related or absolutely nothing blog-related.
She is just as invested in this blog as I am, which means better content for you as readers and a sounding board for me. She cares about This Beautiful Frugal Life and me, which shows in everything she does.
Thank you Emilie for all you do, even if you don’t feel like it’s very much at times. Our readers appreciate you and I could never express how much you have helped me. Thank you for being my friend since the 3rd grade.

I can’t believe that picture is 6 years old!!!! Congrats on the blog Mel and Emilie! It’s come a long way and both of your efforts are very appreciated.
Spoken from the girl who took the pictures. It’s just a little older than your little Dude!
I’m blushing. That is so sweet. You forgot to tell them about all the bad stuff I do like misspell, forget to do posts, erase emails, use the wrong links, make you watch traumatic food documentaries.
Thank you, Emilie!
I really appreciate all that you do, especially the Amazon deals.
I have a household binder that I got after reading your post, but sadly, it’s still empty.
(You too, Melody! or should I wait until bosses day to thank you??)
