About My Reviews

I DO post reviews and there is a lot of talk in the blogworld about the entire reviewing issue ~ and integrity in blog reviews. SO, while it's at the front of my mind, I'm laying it all out in front of you, so you know where I am coming from and where I stand on the issue.

• I review products for other companies. Sometimes, those products are a part of the Homeschool Crew from The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and sometimes other companies contact me independently to share about their product. I am NOT paid to review a product. I do receive the actual product {otherwise, I won't review it} and many times a company will give me an extra to use as a 'giveaway' on my blog.
  
• Reviews for other companies, including those as a part of the Homeschool Crew will always be identified as such.
• I often post reviews about products and items that we personally use as a family and love. This includes toys, books, music, etc... These reviews are just my opinions on random things. Basically, it's just me blabbing on about something I love - similar to us sitting around a table sharing fun stuff.
  
• I will ALWAYS {can't stress this enough} give my honest opinion on a product. I have reviewed some things that our family has absolutely loved and some that we weren't super-thrilled with. Either way, I am not going to lie about a product, but tell you what I really think about it.
• My site has numerous links to various stores. There is a good chance that some of these are affiliate links. That means if you click on them and purchase something using that link I get a small percentage of the sale. You don't have to click on them, but you are more than welcome to {and I thank you if you do}.
• If you are interested, I have a full disclosure policy posted on my blog.

Basically, it boils down to this ~ I don't write to make money from advertising or to receive products for free. I write to share my thoughts and to interact with you {my readers}. That's it ~ bottom line.

Phew. There it is for you all. Any questions?
