Thank you to Cheddar's for providing me with a complimentary dinner in exchange for review purposes. All opinions belong to me.  You all know by now that my husband and I love trying new and adventurous foods. What I haven't talked about is a bit of my food history. I remember as a child bringing lunch from home that I was so incredibly proud of. Most other children around me were bringing things like Lunchables packs and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. My mom always made home cooked food Read more [...]

Thank you to Milk and Baby for providing me with product in exchange for review. All opinions are my own. Pregnancy and nursing can take a real toll on new moms. Our bodies look different, feel different and are much harder to style during pregnancy and during the nursing journey. Sometimes what fit during pregnancy doesn't fit well during nursing and sometimes the other way around. Some maternity clothes fit better but might not be functional nursing attire. Either way there are a lot of different Read more [...]

Thank you to Robert Rose Inc. for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. Seriously Good Freezer Meals is the second Robert Rose recipe book I have gotten to review this year. I also got the chance to review Best of Bridge Sunday Suppers. Once again, I am pleased with the quality of this recipe book. Karrie Truman wrote Seriously Good Freezer meals because she wanted "to share with you [her] belief that it is possible - even if you have the world's busiest schedule - to have Read more [...]

I partnered with TheGiftBox Company to review their Pet Gift Box.  All opinions are my own. As a child, I always wanted a house pet.  My parents gave fish and a hamster a try to pacify us kids but what we really wanted was a dog.  Sadly, it never happened as they stuck to "tank animals".  So as an adult, the urge to fulfill that childhood dream was strong.  My husband and I started married life with an outdoor dog but it wasn't long before we added one indoors too.  Currently, we actually Read more [...]

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The J.M. Smucker Company. The opinions and text are all mine Meijer is the main store that I shop at, for groceries and household items. We only have two stores in my small town that offer groceries and Meijer is superior to the other option in my opinion. I am also really partial to their Mperks rewards program. You sign up using your cell phone number, and then you can virtually clip coupons. At the check-out, you simply put in your Read more [...]

I received complimentary tickets from Carrie In The Moment Sales + Events to the upcoming MN Monster Jam Event to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. My husband and I have been talking about taking the kids to Monster Jam for a few years now.  We have three very busy and rambunctious boys as well as two girls and we know they would all love the show.  However, it never seems to happen because time flies and the event is here and gone before we know it.  So this year, we decided to Read more [...]

First of all, before you get all worked up, let me preface this by saying that I do NOT watch horror movies or gore movies with my kids. I may be a little weird in my cinematographic choices but I am not completely out of my mind! We do however watch movies that aren't typically recommended for preschoolers and kindergarten-aged children such as Harry Potter, Jurassic World, Coraline, Alice Through The Looking Glass, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, Lord of the Rings, etc. And yes, Read more [...]

Thank you to Photowall for sending product for review in exchange for my honest opinion. As many of you know, I love to take pictures. Within the last few months, I have branched out and started to take photos for family and friends. I took some engagement pictures for my brother-in-law and his fiancé last fall. They turned out wonderfully. Recently when searching for products for our upcoming Emily Reviews 2018 Wedding and Bridal Shower Gift Guide, I was introduced to Photowall. Photowall offers Read more [...]
