I received product from Mr IRONSTONE to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. If you're like me, you probably know it can be hard to find nice furniture pieces that are also affordable.  Last winter and spring, we renovated almost our entire house.  On top of renovating a bedroom into a pantry, opening up our living room, and redoing our dining room, we also took out a wall to make an upstairs loft area.  This space used to be our foster care bedroom.  But since we closed Read more [...]

Thank you to SprezzaBox for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. My husband has been receiving SprezzaBoxes for about a year-and-a-half now. Overall, he's been pleased with some of the fun finds in the boxes he's received. So often he's tried out different things that he didn't know if he would like and actually did end up using/liking the product. There have been some things throughout the boxes that my husband didn't love, so we've given those items to his brothers, Read more [...]

I received product from Ooly to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. For those of you who follow Emily Reviews, you may have read that I actually homeschool our kids.  However, that doesn't mean we miss out on the 'normal activities' kids enjoy.  My kids have been able to participate in homeschool sports, writing classes, field trips, and more.  We've been in plays through small groups.  And learned how to cake decorate through special classes.  But something the kids Read more [...]

I received product from Lovepop Cards to facilitate this post.  As always, all opinions are my own. With a new year comes lots of exciting events.   Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, holidays, and more.  So what I like to do at the beginning of the year is stock up on cards so I have them on hand for when the occasions arise.  This takes a lot of stress off me while also saving me last minute runs to the store to grab a card.  But I don't like to stock up on just any old boring cards.  Read more [...]

Thanks to Goodtimer for sending me product in exchange for this post. As always, all opinions are my own. How is winter treating your family? While the first couple of months went really well for us, January has been wearing on all of our moods. The kids are going stir crazy because it's been so cold outside, and both my husband and I have felt ourselves short-tempered. None of us WANT to be in bad moods, but sometimes we all need to be reminded to keep a positive attitude, right? That's where Read more [...]

Thanks to Airfree for sending me the Babyair. As always, all opinions are my own. This past year, our daughter went from cosleeping in our room to her own bedroom. Since she's always had trouble with fitful sleeping, we put an Airfree Air Purifier in her bedroom and have had great success! Not only did her nosebleeds completely resolve, she's had more restful sleep since we added the purifier to her bedroom. Recently, I learned that Airfree released a purifier called Babyair and I knew it would Read more [...]
