Our Frugal Journey

You’ve probably noticed the blog is looking a little different this morning. That’s because I have begun to accept advertising.

While the addition of ads is a big change in the look of the blog, I wanted to assure you that nothing else has changed.

My main focus remains the same – to help others while sharing my family’s successes and failures at living the frugal life. The focus is NOT, and never will be, to make gobs of money. (A girl can dream! But in reality, I’m simply hoping to make enough money from ad revenue to pay my annual web hosting fees.)

The opinions I express will continue to be my own — uninfluenced by advertising or marketing dollars. When I do a review or sponsor a giveaway, I will let you know — right up front — if I received the product free.

I prefer the look of a simple, uncluttered blog so I’m hoping the advertisements won’t be too big of a distraction. Rest assured, I will not run ads that float over my posts. And I will not insert ads into posts or in between posts. I dislike CAN’T STAND reading blogs that do this and I suspect you do, too, so I simply won’t do it.

The blog is, and always will be, a labor of love, with my writing time squeezed in between the meal planning, cooking, cleaning, decluttering, carpooling and the dozens of other duties of a stay-at-home mom.

If you have any questions or comments about my decision to accept advertising, please let me know in the comments section. I value your readership and your opinions.
