This blog is a per­sonal blog writ­ten and edited by me. For ques­tions about this blog, please con­tact Kristina Brooke (momon­therise at gmail dot com).

I believe in and abide by word of mouth mar­ket­ing standards.

I believe in hon­esty of rela­tion­ship, opin­ion and identity.

I also believe that I have the right to get paid.

I receive com­pen­sa­tion for adver­tis­ing, paid inser­tions, and to write on spe­cific top­ics which may or may not include links. Even though I receive com­pen­sa­tion to write about spe­cific top­ics, or to include a rel­e­vant link, and although I may receive review copies of prod­ucts,  I always give my hon­est opin­ions, find­ings, beliefs, or expe­ri­ences on those top­ics or prod­ucts. The views and opin­ions expressed on this blog are purely the my own. Any prod­uct claim, sta­tis­tic, quote or other rep­re­sen­ta­tion about a prod­uct or ser­vice should be ver­i­fied with the man­u­fac­turer, provider or party in question.

Trav­el­ing Mom Ded­i­cated Posts

At times I may include travel-related posts on my blog. I am paid to write these posts many of which may include 2 or more links to a spe­cific area or areas on the page. While I am paid to include the link the con­tent that I write and how I include those links are of my own choos­ing. I am never paid to write an opin­ion about the link(s) included.

Know The Facts– March of Dime Mom

I write a monthly series on this blog ded­i­cated to issues regard­ing preg­nancy. I do not work for The March of Dimes and I am not paid to write this series.

Pana­sonic Liv­ing in HD Fam­ily #66

My fam­ily was cho­sen to take part in an ongo­ing con­sumer feed­back pro­gram with Pana­sonic. We were pro­vided with sev­eral of their prod­ucts– a 50 in LCD TV, a video cam­era, a Dig­i­tal SLR cam­era, a Point and Shoot Cam­era, a Lap­top, Home The­ater Sys­tem, and a portable Blu­Ray player. We were also given $1000 to cover the upgrade to HD tv.

We are not required to do any­thing but give Pana­sonic our opin­ions on these prod­ucts. We par­tic­i­pate in sur­veys and in the Liv­ing in HD Com­mu­nity so that Pana­sonic can see how we use the prod­ucts. Any posts that I write here chron­i­cle my family’s expe­ri­ence with each of the products.
