About the author:

Maria wants to live in a world where cloth diapers are the norm and moms can make parenting choices without judgment. When she’s not chasing her 18, 14 and 11-year-old kids around, you might find her checking out the latest gadgets, organizing something (again) or exercising in the fresh air. Considered an invaluable resource to cloth diapering families, she loves presenting at seminars and birth & baby fairs to demystify cloth diapers. As an RDIA and RDA member Maria advocates for cloth diapers, and works as a consultant for many small businesses in addition to formerly serving as Director of Operations for Giving Diapers Giving Hope (a national cloth diaper bank lending cloth diapers to income-qualified families, now closed). Maria is thrilled to have been a part of the cloth diapering industry for the past 14 years, and anxiously awaits what the coming years bring.

About my readers:

The majority of my readers are mothers of young children, along with fathers, grandparents, aunts etc.  I began this blog to document my switch to cloth diapering, but I’ve grown into all things “green.”  My goal is to help other families make small changes that make a big impact, without a big bite out of their budget.

Reviews:

I welcome review or giveaway opportunities however, I will only accept products relevant to my readers.  This includes: cloth diapers and accessories, natural and organic food products, natural household and health/beauty products, wooden toys, eco and earth friendly products, products made from recycled or renewable materials, BPA free products and much more.  If you think my readers and I may be interested in your product, please contact me.

In order to review a product for your company, I request a normal, retail product to evaluate.  This item will not be returned.  However, in the unlikely event that your product is not something I feel I can endorse after I have used it, I will offer to return it to you.  All reviews are placed in a permanent, and easily accessible review archive.

I take detailed photos and review products thoroughly, just as I would if I had purchased it myself. My cloth diapers reviews are intentionally objective as every family has different preferences.

Giveaways: While I will never charge for a review, I charge a small fee to administer & promote a giveaway. I ask that giveaways items be sent directly to the winner and not to me.  You may review this post for a semi-complete list of where I promote my giveaways.

Both reviews and giveaways will generally be posted within 30 days of my receipt of the product.

I will not require that a purchase be made to enter a giveaway, nor will I increase chances/give bonus entries for doing so.  This turns the giveaway into an illegal private lottery, and I don’t look good in stripes (or orange jumpsuits).

Many of my readers enter giveaways on other blogs as well.  If you have a rule that someone who has already won a product from your company cannot win again, you must let me know, so I can include these additional rules in the giveaway post.  My readers’ time is very valuable, and I do not want them to spend their time entering a contest for something they cannot win.  Thank you for understanding!

Facebook and Giveaways: As of November 5th 2014, I will be unable to offer “liking” a page on Facebook as a giveaway entry.

Consulting:

I am available for social media, marketing & product development consulting. We can work together on an hourly, weekly or per-project basis. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from The University of Maryland, Global Campus, will complete a Master’s degree in Integrated Marketing Communications from West Virginia University in 2022, and hold several certifications. Certifications include HubSpot SEO, Google Analytics Individual Qualification, Google Fundamentals of Digital Marketing, and Hootsuite Podium Social Media Marketing certifications.

Advertising:

Ads:

I will only advertise products or services relevant to my readers (beyond the scope of this blog is fine) that I would personally endorse.  Family-friendly only.

Additional ad locations & sizes are available upon request.

Sponsored Posts:
