I received product fromBLUblox to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. What do people need to do when so many modern-day health issues are pointing to artificial blue light as a cause?  Add in the fact that many products designed to address this are cheaply made, not backed by science and, well let’s face it – ugly, it's no wonder that very few people are embracing light management and searching for a way to fix this problem.  But you no longer need to worry, BLUblox Read more [...]

I received product from Fishers Finery to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. Mothers Day may be past for this year but women still need to get adequate sleep to function.  It's kind of a running joke in our family as my husband manages to function off 3-5 hours of sleep a night many nights but I'm more of an 8-9 hours of sleep girl.  A couple years ago, we installed a parlor on our dairy farm and there's a transition period; so I was getting up at 4:30am to help with Read more [...]

Bananas are a staple in most homes.  But a big problem that we, personally, have is that they don't always get eaten in their prime.  I got tired of wasting 'bad' bananas that became over-ripe so I've compiled a list of the best foods to make that can help use them up!  Of course, we all know about banana bread, but there's lots of other options available too! Check Out Our List Of The Best Ways To Utilize Ripe (Or Over Ripe) Bananas: Banana Bars With Cream Cheese Frosting (just like Read more [...]

Emily Reviews writers were sent products for our Mother's day gift guide. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are our own. 2020 has been a rather unique year so far! I don't know if anyone feels like life is super normal or ordinary right now. Going to the grocery store certainly doesn't feel the same as it did a few months ago. Many parents have had way more time with their children than they usually would during the spring season. I think for most of us, 2020 will stand Read more [...]

I received product to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. A couple years ago when we started foster care, I learned something new.  Smoke detectors expire!?!  Perhaps that is common knowledge and I just missed the boat but it was news to me when our licensor told us this.  In retrospect, it makes sense.  A very important safety device that can save your life probably needs to be replaced from time to time, just like a child's carseat.  So we went through our entire Read more [...]

I received product from Amigo Games to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. With most kids home now, E-learning is a new way of life for many these days.  But don't let it fool you, this is nothing like homeschooling.  It's honestly more like crisis learning for many.  Take heart as you are not alone; many families are in the same learning boat that seems as if sinking some days.  Even though we personally homeschool, I have lots of friends who don't.  So hearing how Read more [...]

As you're cleaning out your pantry, you'll probably find a variety of foods.  Hopefully none too far expired though!  That's always my biggest fear.  I hate the thought of wasting money by not eating what I've purchased.  However, I will admit I'm not a 'best if used by' ninja.  I still pop it open and if it looks good, smells good, and tastes good, we usually will still eat it.  But as I've cleaned out my pantry in the past, I do discover some odd items that I struggle to find a use for.  Read more [...]
