Disclosure & Privacy Policy

Comment Policy

I LOVE hearing your thoughts in the comments, but I have one very important request: Be nice.  There are enough people in our lives who tear us down and make us feel small.  This is a space to encourage other women, to remind them that it’s okay to not be okay and our emotions (even the hard ones) are essential to understanding our hearts and learning to love ourselves, our God, and other people well.  I welcome readers and perspectives from all walks of life, but know that comments that are judgmental, hurtful, or otherwise detract from the heart of this community may be deleted.

Copyright Policy

I love it when you want to share the content I’ve created on this blog!  Feel free to share links to any posts using one or two photos and a link back to my original post.  Please do not remove any watermarks, crop, or edit any of my images without first obtaining written permission from me. Pinning is always appreciated and encouraged! Thanks, friends!

Disclosure Policy

In 2009, the wonderful folks at 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 for me and may occasionally incorporate endorsements, testimonials, or reviews, I wanted you lovely readers to know a few key things:

  • The content of our blog is a source of income for us and therefore may be used to promote products, services, or other businesses.
  • I will only ever choose and promote products or services that I have tried personally and feel could be useful for you, my readers.
  • Any products reviewed are given to me free by the companies concerned, but this does NOT ensure a positive review. I will always provide my honest opinion of any product or service!
  • You can trust me. I will always give my honest opinion and experience of a product or service even if I’m working with a company connected to it.  I value my readers and will always review things with your best interest in mind.
  • My number one priority is accuracy and fairness to my readers and I will never compromise that just to make an extra buck.
  • 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 standards of integrity and will do everything I can to create content that is inspiring and useful to you all.  I love and appreciate you readers so much and will always be completely honest and up front with you in every post I write.
