Disclosure Policy

The purpose of this blog is to inspire you to do things that enrich your life and to empower you with new ideas that will make your everyday more full, fun, and exciting, and our sincere hope is that your life will be better as a result of what you read and learn here! With that said, operating a blog can be a surprisingly costly venture, and we want you to understand that we employ some strategies to help offset the costs and provide an income for our family, too!

In short, this personal blog is wholly written and edited by me and occasional contributors and helpers. Since this blog is a source of income for our family, it accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions, and other forms of compensation which may influence the advertising content, topics or posts made in this blog. Most often, these take the form of product review posts for items we have received free of charge and advertisements or promotions of products, services, or businesses. For instance, we are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. Mentions of associated products/services/businesses within the content of this blog may or may not be identified as paid or sponsored content in every reference, which is why this next part is SO important.

Our readers are our first priority, and the sole reason this blog exists. Your trust is of the utmost importance to us, so we want you to know that every single thing we post is purely our opinion, and reflects our unbiased opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products. Naturally, the views and opinions we express on this blog are purely our own, and any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider, or us. The bottom line is that -regardless of compensation we might receive or partnership we might have that results in a mention or a review- our expressions will be our own, and can be relied upon. We will only choose to promote products/services/businesses that we have used ourselves and believe will be beneficial to our readers. We have worked hard to create something we want our readers to find refreshing and wonderful, and we would never jeopardize that trust to make a buck.
