Disclosures
At times, I receive income from sponsors or advertisers in the form of free products, advertising fees, and/or monetary compensation. All posts containing potential revenue-making links are designated as such with the words, "This post contains affiliate links." Many of these companies use cookies or web beacons in order to show tailored ads to you.
That being said, please know that I affiliate with purpose. Your respect for my opinion means a great deal to me. I never want to compromise your belief in my word by endorsing an underwhelming product in order to make a fast buck. I know that most homeschoolers are living on a one-income budget in a two-income world. I promise to value your time and resources by only recommending products and vendors that I hold with high regard.
All the opinions provided in my product reviews, whether compensated or not, are thorough and expressly my own. I am not responsible if your experiences vary.
