Just to clarify...

Every day over the internet, there are sponsored posts from various bloggers of various genre's..

Many readers don't know the difference between the truth and what writers are being told to say.

Everyday I am even faced with this as a reader, and it can quite concern me.

There are specific bloggers I used to read, that I started having doubts about and have stopped reading. Same with YouTubers. I don't know, I just had a feeling it was too "put together" and unfortunately, that is how a lot of bloggers and YouTubers loose readers/viewers.

After looking over my blog, I started to wonder how my readers view my posts. Even of the posts I have had products sent to me to try. My views had started to decline, and I felt a bit worried.

So I thought I would write this post to clarify a few things, so that my readers don't feel as though I am pushing products onto them, in any way bragging because it's a "popular" item, or writing things that are against what I believe.

I am a Step-Mum and a Mum-to-be.

I write my posts to the best of my ability. I write what I am genuinely interested in. And if there's something I really don't like, that will make it here to.

Being a step-parent in my eyes can be a lot more difficult of an environment to raise children in. Yes we have good times together like a biological family. Yes we still have down moments like a biological family. I thrive to make every day special for them, just the same as a biological parent. It can be harder though, especially in the aspect of bonding.

I thrive to try new things, and bring the best of the world to my children's eyes.

So if I am offered a product to try, I wont say no unless it's really not fitting with my life.

Just like when you come across sample products in magazines. Only I then blog about my experiences.

In no way am I taking cash endorsements for my blog posts from companies to make a positive review of their products. That goes against what I believe in as a writer and parent.

I wouldn't tell my child to like an icy pole that's made of poo, any more than I would tell other parents a products is good when it's just crap. In saying that though, if I come across a product that is crap, I have respect for the company and creator to not speak unethically. It just simply didn't work for me. It COULD work for you though.

I am just like any other parent in the world. Finding the right products that make life easier for me, so I have less time of chores, and more time of bonding and experiencing life with my children and guiding them to have a wonderful happy life.

In saying that though, my reviews are what has worked for me, one day it may not work for me anymore as I may find something that works even BETTER. If it works for me, it may not work for you. Every family is different, everyone's capabilities and price tag are different. In no way do I want my readers to feel as though it is pushed onto them.

My blog is my escape, a comfortable place for me as writer and a comfortable place for you as reader. That is how I want it to stay.

I just really needed to get that off my chest.

So once again, thank you for reading, and if you have any further question, please don't hesitate to comment. even if it is anon.
