My Blog Disclosure Policy

1. Welcome to my blog and business. Whether you are a reader, a business associate, or a new friend, let’s partner together!
2. My speaking fees, writing fees, and blog generate income. Some of that income goes back into making this website even more awesome. Some goes to paying for 5 kids who have college funds, or treating myself to a pedicure. Depends on the day, if the principal called, what I found written on the dining room wall, and if it was in permanent marker or erasable.
3. My content is about The Holy Mess: Finding Balance for Faith, Family, and Fitness. Yes, I write about God. And Jesus. And the Bible. Yes, it’s still okay for me to be successful, and its okay for you to be successful, too.
4. Any paid advertising or product promotion will be clearly marked as such. I’ll be straight with you. I’m an honest person, plus it’s the law.
5. I’ll never promote a product I don’t believe in myself. I always give honest opinions. If a company sends me a free product or pays me to talk about a product, I’ll tell you if they gave it to me for free, or I was paid to promote the product.
6. Some of the links on my blog are affiliate links, which means if you click on them I get a small portion of the sales, at no extra cost to you. Xoxoxoxo. My kids’ smartness and my pretty hands thank you if you do some clicking. If not, I still love you. Thanks for reading.
