ReviewPolicy

Having me review and post my opinion about your product is a great way to inform my readers about your product and website. I am happy to promote anything I would use myself, or have used, or have personally tested. I do not accept payment for reviews, neither do I expect to have to pay out of pocket for costs associated with reviews (e.g., sending anything back to you, or forwarding giveaway items on to winners).

ReviewRequirements

In order for me to review your product, you must send a non-returnable product for me to review. I always give my honest opinion in my posts. My children are a boy age 11, a boy age 8, and a girl age 7 to give you an idea of what products you might have that would be appropriate for my family. We are experienced at reviewing books, DVDs, toys, games, food, healthcare items, clothing and accessories, organizational products, house and home products, software, and more.

I reserve the right to decline to review any product I would not honestly recommend after evaluating it myself. My readers expect and are given a guarantee of integrity, transparency, and honesty in all that I post. If I love your product, I will shout it from the rooftops, post it in my twitter, Facebook, and RSS feeds, and probably figure out a way to put you in touch with others who might like to promote your product or service.

If you would like to send a book or product for me to review, please use the address below. Again, as I am not paid to review anything, I may pick and choose. This is more a reflection of my limited time and energy than on my interest in your offering. Please be patient, and I will let you know when a post goes up for your reference.
