Full Disclosure Policy
Thank you for visiting Finding Time To Fly!
Per FTC regulations, this is a full explanation of how and when I am compensated on https://FindingTimeToFly.com.
I started Finding Time To Fly to share ways to achieve a more balanced life with all the demands of being a Mom. By sharing tips on marriage and parenting, home management and organization, entertaining, printable graphics, blogging, and even some of my favorite recipes, I hope to help you shave some time and cost off of the things you have to do so you’ll have more time and money left to do the things you love to do.
I blog on Finding Time To Fly because I love doing it. However, I would not be able to spend the time and cover the costs of running a blog if I did not get paid. There are many costs associated with running a blog including website hosting fees, security features, email management platforms, photography equipment, and my time. In order to keep access to this website free but still be able to pay all the costs associated with running a business, there are several says I am compensated via Finding Time To Fly.
First, I have some promises to you:
I will never recommend a product or service that I do not personally believe in.
Nothing on Finding Time To Fly will ever be recommended for the sole purpose of making income.
My opinions will be honest.
Products and services I have not personally used will only be recommended after I research them and find a majority of reviews to be positive.
