Comment Policy

It’s great to connect with my readers, and I love to read your comments. Whether you are commenting on a post or replying to someone else’s comment, please remember to be encouraging and build others up rather than tear each other down. I welcome any ideas, but please offer them with grace and respect – not harsh criticism or negativity.  There’s enough of that in ‘the real world’!

Disclosure Policy

As well as placing ads on the blog I occasionally incorporate endorsements or testimonials through reviews, sponsored posts and affiliate links.  Therefore, it is important to disclose the following to you, our readers:

  • Products provided to us by our advertising partners for our review are given to us free of charge with no cost to ourselves. This does not ensure a positive review of the product in any way.
  •  A sponsored post is similar to a review, except that I have received a cash payment for the post.  Again, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
  • Some of the links in my posts are affiliate links, which means that if you click on the link and purchase an item, I will receive an affiliate commission. As above, I only recommend products and services I use personally and believe will add value to my readers.
  • As part of the Amazon Associates program, I also need to include the following disclosure on my blog: Karen Hopkins is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.
