There are all kinds of posts out there giving out bloggy awards and letting everyone know who their favorite bloggers are. While I have a TON of blogs that I love to read and love the bloggers themselves, why not write about the companies that support us bloggers and the companies that I love?
We, as bloggers, parents and as consumers need to be thankful for the companies that allow us to work with them. I have been in the corporate world for years and while I am not ‘out there’ anymore, working with companies from home is my dream come true. While I don’t get a fancy paycheck like the corporate world does, by working with them gives me an insight in to their company, in to their worlds.
Here are just a few companies (in no particular order) that I have worked with over the past 2 ½ years that I love very much and that my family has put trust & faith in to their companies that they represent as well as the products that we use daily.

- Litzky PR
New Media Strategies- Polliwalks

Oh my gosh! I can keep going and going! SO many amazing companies! I deeply appreciate all that you all have done for me, as well as my fellow bloggers and readers. You will probably see this post updated as names come to me. These were the ones off the top of my head.
While there are some bloggers out there that this might be a ‘hobby’, this isn’t a hobby for me. This is my job. I bust my rear to get things done in a timely manner, reviews, pictures, videos and write up’s for the companies ‘that I work for’, because this shows my loyalty to the agency, company and shows a lot about myself, as a person, as a blogger, as a mother and as a consumer. I put a lot of time and energy in to my write up’s because as a consumer, I go search for products before my family buys them. Why? I want to see honest reviews about them, not just some short write up. I feel that if you take the time and money to send me a product to write about – you will get your write up!
I have been on several blog events and I want to say thank you to each and every one of the companies and PR agencies that brought me and welcomed me in to their businesses.
I know it is not a small expense to pay for travel expenses to get bloggers to your location and/or the company locations, so this is a small thank you to everyone that welcomed me with open arms! Thank you for welcoming me in to your lives!
- Fleishman for Hallmark
- EuroRSCG for Sears
- O’Malley Hansen Communications for Sara Lee
- Coyne Public Relations for General Mills
- Weber Shandwick & Rocket XL for Wisk & Laundry HE
- Zoloco Group for Frito Lay
- Cohn & Wolfe for Smucker’s
These companies put their faith in me, and bring me to their locations. Not only did I learn more about these fabuous companies, but also made some friends along the way.
I cannot leave without mentioning some of the best friends and mentors in the blogosphere. PR reps and companies, if you need reliable bloggers, here are a few that I recommend!

In conclusion, I (again) wanted to thank everyone for reading Mommy Goggles, as well as to say thank you to all the amazing companies that I have worked with and that have put their trust in me. When I was just getting started with my blog, you trusted me to work with you; as well as you still hold that trust now.
Thank you!

I think it is awesome that you took the time out to thank everyone you have worked with. Blogging is really about the relationships you build (at least that is how I define my success) and it’s obvious that you value the ones you have established and that you continue to work to grow them.
I am flattered to be on your list Tanya, and if I had a similar list, you’d be on mine.
I admire you for the integrity you have, the heart and soul you put into your blog and how much you seem to accomplish. It is amazing, you are amazing!
[Reply]
What a very nice thing to do. I can’t say thank you enough to the companies/pr I’ve worked with. And thank you Tanya for including my name. I greatly appreciate it.
