Disclosure

This is my personal blog.  I write it.  That just means that this is my personal website, where I share my opinions and link to other sites on a regular basis.  I love writing and maintaining The Measured Mom, and getting to know my readers is a huge joy in my life.  But this isn’t a free hobby.  I pay for hosting, my newsletter service, clip art, computer programs… you get the idea.  I also spend a lot of time creating and sharing quality content.  On an average week it’s at least 20 hours.

I’m thankful that I receive a part-time income for my time and effort.  The FTC says I have to tell you how I make my money. So here you go.

See the ads in the header, sidebar, and ends of posts?  Those are run by a third party ad network.  I get money based on how many people visit my site.  I have some control over what kind of ads you see.  So please let me know if you see a gross video game ad or that one about the weird trick for reducing belly fat.  You don’t need to see those.  Please note  that I don’t endorse any of the products in my third party ads.  (Especially the belly fat trick. Yuck.)

Sometimes I do book reviews or tell you about a product.  I always disclose first. I’ll let you know if I received product and/or compensation to write the review.  And I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences.  They’re purely my opinions, though, okay?  Be sure to verify what I say about a product or service with the manufacturer.

You’ll often see this at the top of my posts: “This post contains affiliate links.”  That’s because I’m linking to an Amazon product or a product from another site or blogger.  The Measured Mom is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide  a means for earning advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com. This doesn’t cost you an extra cent.
