DISCLOSURE

The Frugal Homeschooling Mom is a personal blog written and edited by me, Deana, a simple stay-at-home mom, probably very similar to you, the reader – I’m just a normal person, really.  I view blogging as a fun and interesting past-time during my children’s afternoon quiet-time and nap-time, and when they’ve gone to bed in the evenings.  It has turned into an income-producing endeavor and an alternative to working at a job outside the home.

Really, the income is just an extra blessing – I enjoy blogging and would do it whether or not I made any money with it.  It’s really fun to write, to have a healthy outlet for my thoughts and likes, and make new friends that enjoy hearing the sometimes unusual and abnormal things I have to say!

For questions about this blog, please contact me at thefrugalhomeschoolingmom[at]gmail[dot]com.

I always strive to blog with integrity, and here I will disclose my relationship with companies and products I may endorse.  Some posts may contain “affiliate links.”  That basically means that when you visit those links, I get rewarded in some way, usually monetarily.  Thank you so much for allowing me to refer you!  Your support by clicking on links within my blog gives me a little bit of encouragement for the hours I spend writing.  And don’t worry, the prices of the products you purchase when you click those links are not effected at all.

This blog is a public reflection of my own integrity and personality, and I strive to be completely ethical in what I choose to share here.  I am required by law to disclose that I accept forms of advertising, sponsorship, or other forms of compensation here.  However, the compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog.  I am sometimes compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. Even though I receive compensation for some posts and advertisements, I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on those topics or products.  I refuse advertisement offers that do not coincide with the blog’s purpose or that I do not believe are worthy for my readership.  I would never recommend anything on my blog that I wouldn’t recommend to my own close friends and family.  In fact, the majority of websites, reviews, posts, and other things on my blog are NOT sponsored in any way by the companies I choose to talk about; I simply like them and want to share them with you.

About Amazon links on this site:  Amazon.com requires me to say this (I am affiliated with other companies as well, but this is simply a legal requirement for Amazon.com only, and so I comply):  I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
