You can reach my readers - I'm happy to send a rate sheet and stats (email me at blog AT friscokids DOT net). And to save time, read the info provided below.

Advertising: I love my advertisers. They keep this site (and sister site Jersey Kids) running and help convince my husband that blogging is NOT a waste of my time. Advertising is separate from reviews and doesn’t guarantee a review of that product/service. I will consider a giveaway in conjunction with advertising, and it will be disclosed as such. If you’re an advertiser, please contact me at blog AT friscokids DOT net for rates and viewer stats. Or just make me an offer I can’t refuse. I offer discounted rates if advertising jointly on Frisco Kids and Jersey Kids.

Product Reviews: I review books, travel gear, and anything that seems to fit in with the website or my audience. I will not guarantee a review if you send me your product, but I usually won’t agree to receive a product unless I’m interested in reviewing it. I often feature items I found on my own. Find me at blog AT friscokids DOT net.

Review Policies: If I hate something, I may post about it, even if a company gave me a free review product/tickets. Some websites only print positive reviews about happy travel and products. That’s not me. If something wasn’t worth it, I’ll tell my readers.

Paid Reviews: If I run a paid review, I will disclose it.

Affiliate Programs: I do participate in affiliate programs if I think they're high quality and of service to my readers. I consider them website sponsors. I hand-pick what "deals" are highlighted on Frisco Kids posts based on what I think my readers want. I also post deals where I do NOT have an affiliate relationship.

Giveaways: I’ll happily do giveaways of quality products, hotel stays, memberships and admission passes for readers. I don't do them frequently, however.

Travel Policies: I’m a professional travel writer. My work for national magazines, websites, blogs and other companies pays my bills. I usually pay for my own travel. When I get media or comped rates for hotels, attractions or shows, I do not guarantee a review, let alone a positive review. I look for the best deals out there and share them with readers.
