Affiliate Disclosure

Some posts from Word to Your Mother Blog (herein known as WTYM) may contain affiliate links that pay out a small commission if you happen to purchase something through them. It is important to note, that this does NOT affect the price, or cost you anything extra; rather it gives WTYM credit for driving business to the companies WTYM is an affiliate for. If I post an affiliate link to a product or company, it is something that I have personally used, or would support and/or recommend without an affiliate link. As passionate as we are about providing you with excellent content, keeping up with the latest and greatest requires lots of hard work and investment – so the affiliate money we make helps keep this website up and running, so we truly appreciate the support.
