When you email me, please send me information about you, your company, the item and a company logo.
About my reviews:
I put a LOT of energy and thought in to my posts. I take images and a lot of times I will take and post videos for my reviews. I like to show the product being reviewed in action. I want to promote your product the best that I can.
- When will you let me know if my item will/has been reviewed?
Once I receive your item, I will email you and let you know that I received it and when your post will go up.
- How long will it be, once you receive the product, before it is highlighted?
I make every effort to review products in a timely manner. Sometimes, however, real life (including my most important job of parenting) gets in the way.
- Will you tell me when the review is posted?
I will email you when the review of your item(s) is scheduled to be posted, or is already posted, and will send you the permalink.
- What sets me apart?
What sets me apart from some review bloggers? I USE your product! I take your product and your company to the fullest potential that I know that it can handle. I take images and videos of your product IN use and I post it, along with my personal opinion and my family’s opinion and use of it.
- Can we require a positive review?
While I promise honest feedback, your submission is not guaranteed a super-positive review. If I feel that your product does not meet quality standards, I will contact you before posting any comments. I also reserve the right not to post a review if I feel in any way the product will not relate to my family nor my readers. To date, I have not received an item for review that I did not feel fit my website or readers. All reviews posted here are honest and truthful.
- How long will our product be highlighted?
You’ll have the top spot until the next review is posted. At times, I will post more than one review in a day. Once your review moves from the top spot, it will be scrollable on the homepage for a period of time. All reviews are also permanently accessible in the archives and are search-able by category.
- Can I be permanently accessible?
Yes! Your post will always be on my blogsite. I am also currently working on monthly and yearly rates for sidebar advertising. If you are interested in advertising, please contact me!
- Will my product be returned?
No products will be returned. Once something is given as a review it becomes my sole property. I will fully test and use these products making returning them just impossible. Often, I will do an ongoing review and post several write ups about that item. With this, I am unable to return products.
- How will you post/review about me?
Once I get your item, I will review it, test it, take my own images (and most times videos) for the review post, then I will get it written up and once the link is live, I will email that link to you. The images are my property, but I am more than happy to send you the original size image so that you can use it for your marketing, advertising and/or website.
- Will I have to pay for your to review my item?
NO! As long as I can get an item to review from your company, I will post the review at no charge. I do currently have ad rates for companies that would like their banner permanently added to my front page.
- Posting /Requesting posts for press releases, misc. posts; not offering a product for review:
At times, press releases or miscellaneous inquiries are emailed to Mommy Goggles to post. We receive numerous pitches daily and while I appreciate your time, we are not able to get to each one right away. While there are physical product reviews to get live, these press releases will be posted as soon as reviews that are scheduled get live. Not all press releases/emails are able to get posted. If you are not requesting a product review, but are looking for a press posting, these are now done on a paid basis. If you have a press release or misc. information you would like us to post, please email us and I will schedule your posting right away. There is a $25.00 fee for this posting. With the current holiday season, physical product reviews are taken care of before any misc. postings.
Mommy Goggles welcomes pitches from PR companies, or anyone wanting to promote their website, product or service, but please make sure that the information or product is family friendly. If time allows, I will gladly post press releases from PR agencies that I have worked with before. If I receive an email with a pitch that is impersonal, irrelevant or are strictly from a press release standpoint, these will be deleted automatically. I do not accept emails that are “Dear Blogger” or “Dear Miss Mommy Goggles”. If you read my blog, you know that I have a name.

I do moderate comments, so please do not use my comments section of my blog to blatantly promote your or your client’s products. Comments such as this will be deleted.
