Thank you to Britax for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I'll let you all in our upcoming plans.  This year, my parents are taking the family on a Spring Vacation to Disney World and a 3-day Cruise!  The last family trip was six years ago, back in January of 2010.  Back then, my husband and I only had two children.  While we managed the airport alone with our kiddos, we had four additional adults "on Read more [...]

Thank you to Family 1st for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. As a parent, I feel completely helpless when my daughters don’t feel well. As soon as they don’t look like their normal self, act like they typically do, or tell me they aren’t feeling well, I kick into caretaker mode. First thing I do is encourage them to drink water. Then I get them comfortable and take their temperatures. I use a VisioFocus Smart Read more [...]

  Thank you to Rockin' Baby for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I love when I find companies that give back.  Having a mission to help others really drives me towards making a purchase from them.  So when I first heard about the company, Rockin' Baby, I was immediately drawn by their efforts to support Mothers and Children and make a real difference in this world. In their Baby Wearing Line, they offer Reversible Read more [...]

  Thank you to Education.com for providing me with their service, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. For those who have been Emily Review subscribers for awhile, you may already know that my husband and I have five children.  Their ages range from 1 all the way up to 10 and we also home school.  While neither my husband or myself were home schooled, when our oldest was about three, I casually tossed the idea out there and the rest is Read more [...]

  Thank you to Jaxx Bean Bags for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own. For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated with furniture that was "my size".  As a child, I had friends and relatives that had bean bags and other kid-sized chairs that I loved.  While I personally never received anything of the sort, my brother did get a bean bag chair.  Unfortunately, the quality was just not there and it literally fell Read more [...]

Thank you to Motorola for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own.   The Motorola name has been around for many years…in fact, since 1928 when the company was started by Joseph and Paul Galvin.   Since those early years, Motorola grew into a multinational telecommunications company with its headquarters located in Schaumburg, Illinois.  In 2011, Motorola Inc. restructured and become Motorola Solutions.  The Read more [...]

  Thank you to Liz & Roo for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. Our little girl is just over 15 months now and for the past month or two, she's been dragging around small rags and flour sack dish towels on her head.  She's never had a special blanket or lovey but after continually trying to distract her from this new fascination, I decided it may be time to get her one.  So I turned to Liz and Roo and their Fine Read more [...]

  Thank you to Sleeping Baby for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. If you'd ask me today what I absolutely must have as a mother to a little one, my list is actually fairly short but I would definitely have to include a couple Zipadee-Zips from Sleeping Baby in the line-up.  You can read more about that amazing product over at my Zipadee-Zip Review & Giveaway post.  However, Sleeping Baby also has a couple Read more [...]

  Thank you to Sleeping Baby for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I was introduced to the Sleeping Baby Zipadee-Zip in early 2015.  At the time, our little girl, who is our 5th child, was co-sleeping in our bed and wanted absolutely nothing to do with her crib.  While I don't mind sharing our bed, once baby starts crawling, I prefer them to spend the early morning hours in a crib so I can get up and get Read more [...]

  Thank you to Freshly Picked for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for this blog post.  All opinions are 100% my own. Footwear for even the smallest members of my family is a must.  I know many people think shoes are not necessary for non-walkers but I am quick to disagree.  Baby feet are ridiculously difficult to keep socks on, however, a simple pair of Freshly Picked Moccs would do the job and keep those socks secure!  All the while, looking super adorable too!  Read more [...]
