The Survey Says...

Well, the majority of you who voted in my poll, said you'd like my reviews and giveaways posted on this same blog so you don't have to go to 2 separate places to read. That works for me. Some of you wrote and said you didn't like the reviews and giveaways at all. Here's the deal. I don't make any money on my blog. Now and then I have an ad or two on here and make a little bit, but for the most part, I only have PSAs and ads for friends on here. And that's fine with me. However, I do get approached by PR companies asking me to talk about/review/give away products every day. You might be surprised to know that I turn down more than half of them. I only agree to things that I really believe

A. I or my kids will like

B. are fun and unique

C. are a good value or great green idea

D. are things that my readers will enjoy

I don't accept money for writing about products *unless otherwise specified* because I want to make sure people understand that I only give honest opinions and am not being paid to say nice things. It's my goal to be transparant. I do take a free sample of the product because I'm not going to tell you it's great when I haven't even seen it. I'm not going to say it stands up to wear and tear by kids if my kids haven't had the chance to destroy it play with it. So, I take a sample and thoroughly check it out before writing a review and/or coordinating a giveaway. This is a little perk for my family. Like I said, I don't make money for all the time I spend working on my blog, so when I'm offered the chance to review a toy that my kids love or take them to events like Disney on Ice, I happily accept.

So, because the poll results said the majority wants everything on the same blog, I'm going to do that. But, for those of you who don't want to read about the products I review, I'll try to keep my product reviews to one day a week. I'll post a review and/or giveaway every Monday. If you don't want to see them, just don't check my blog on Mondays. Cool? Everybody happy? Now, if I could just send a nonfat double espresso caramel vodka latte grande to the 36% of you who voted for that...

* I was paid to write some articles for Goodnites and I'm being paid to do some work for V-Tech Toys.
