This Site contains affiliate links. That simply means that any purchases made through these links could earn me a small commission with no extra cost to the purchaser. I recommend products, brands, or companies that I've used and liked. I may link to similar products when the exact product I purchased is not found, or link to other options that I haven't tried. Many times, I have used a product or service and write a blog post about it before finding out they have an affiliate program, then add affiliate links to posts after they are published. I always disclose within the post when affiliate links are used. You'll find these notices briefly before the links, and a more thorough note at the end of blog posts containing any affiliate links.I am 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.
