It is your blog sell what you want. It is not as if we are sitting here being forced to watch commercials we don't want to see in order to read other stuff on your blog. Don't sweat it.

For the record - your sales notices totally don't bother me. I like hearing about the Vision Forum deals - I love their products, and encourage whomever I can to shop there. I think you're being a very "good" wife to encourage people to support the business that your husband works at, as well (not so many people today in the world of the corporate realize that what is good for the business is good for the employee). I'd also like to thank you for your sharp wit, and the humor that you bring to those of us who read your blog on a regular basis! Keep it up - please! It is an encouragement to those of us "in the trenches" in the world of motherhood!

I am a long time reader and first time commenter. I love your blog! I think that you should keep doing things just like you do. I love that you and your children are doing what you can to contribute to the family income! I love that you choose to sell things here, where it can benefit your readers. I love that you posted about your daughter needing to sell a doll for Christmas money for gifts. This gave us readers insight into your family. We know that you found a solution for your daughter being able to buy Christmas gifts for the family. Instead of throwing money at her as many moms would do, you chose to help her earn the money! I love this! And...I loved hearing that you and your littles did not eat breakfast until 11:30 the other morning! I was having a little guilt that we have not been eating until 8:30 or 9. My guilt is now gone!! :) Keep up the good work! Stacy Hello Kim! I am a long time reader and first time commenter.

I am laughing at the irony there. I buy very little of anything these days, but I like reading reviews from someone who has bought something. If I was going to buy something, I would plan it in a way to support a VF family. Bethany Kim,

But your stuff doesn't because I understand your dh works there, you love the products and YOU USE THE PRODUCTS. It isn't you writing a post *just* to make a quick buck. You believe in the company and its mission. Hope that makes sense. God bless ya!! PS Pay per post really bugs me.
