Disclosure Policy

In 2009, the Federal Trade Commission {FTC} revised their guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in order to protect the public from any intentionally errant or misleading advertising that has been paid for by a group or company. Since this blog is a source of income and may occasionally incorporate endorsements or testimonials, I felt it was important to disclose the following to you, my readers:

• The content of this blog is a source of income for my family and therefore may be used to promote products, services, or other businesses.
• I will only choose to promote products/services/businesses that I have, in fact, used and that I feel will be beneficial to my readers.
• Products provided to me by my advertising partners for my review are given to me free of charge with no cost to myself. This does not ensure a positive review of the product in any way.
• I will always give my genuine opinion about a product or service whether or not I am partnering with the service provider and/or receiving payment to do so.
• My #1 priority is accuracy and fairness to my readers, and I would never compromise the truth.
  Mentions of associated products/services/businesses within the content of this blog may or may not be noted as an affiliate in every reference.

I hold myself to the highest standard of integrity and strive to deliver interesting, helpful, and encouraging content while generating a small profit to compensate for my time, research, and ideas. I love and appreciate every reader and make it a goal to be up front and honest with every post I write.
