Why Should You Work With A Heart for Home?

A Heart for Home started in August 2008 as an effort to chronicle the life of our family as we live, laugh, love, and learn together. Our adventure includes natural parenting, healthy eating, organic gardening, homeschooling, cloth diapering, frugal living, crafting and most importantly growing closer to God as he develops in us a heart for home.

Though A Heart for Home is a fairly new blog, it is growing quickly! Visitors, subscribers, and overall popularity seem to be increasing by the day.

The majority of our readers are women- mothers, grandmothers, friends, sisters, and aunts. Though the average age of our reader varies, it seems that most fall within the 25-34 age group.

Product Reviews and Giveaways

Our family loves to review and host giveaways for products that we think would be helpful to our own family and to our readers. These items include, but are not limited to handmades, eco-friendly items, cloth diapers and accessories, homeschool resources, and general family fun. We will only offer reviews and host giveaways for items that we see as family friendly.

In order for us to review your product(s), service, or website, a sample must be sent to us. This sample should be full-sized and will not be returned, as it will be used by our family for review purposes. As the sponsor of the review you will need to cover the cost of shipping the item to be reviewed. The review you will receive will be very thorough and descriptive. We like to provide our readers with honest information. However, we will not post a negative review. We will immediately contact you if an issue happens to arise.

We have five people available for reviews:

■32 year old male
■28 year old female
■3 year old female
■2 year old male
■7 month old female

To document our usage of your product, website, or service, we will include detailed information about our experience with your product. In most cases, we will also include photos of the product being used.

We will also include links to your company and the specific product we are reviewing, as well as any applicable links to Facebook, twitter, and any other pages you request.

As per FTC guidelines for bloggers, we will make it clear to my readers what was given to me in exchange for the review. For example, if we were sent a product to review from your company, we will clearly state that.

Sponsoring a giveaway along with a review is a fantastic way to really make readers notice your company. After all, every one of our readers is a potential buyer. Giveaways will bring a lot of direct traffic to your website. We require that all entrants visit your site and find a product they would really like to own or tell us something they learned about your company, so that is a lot of traffic that will visit your website! You can also provide A Heart for Home readers with a discount code to further encourage potential buyers.

There is no cost to sponsor a giveaway on A Heart for Home. We do ask that you ship the prize directly to the winner at the conclusion of the giveaway.

If you are interested in having A Heart for Home review your product and/or host a giveaway, we would love for you to contact us! You can contact us directly using the email address below. We will respond to all inquiries as soon as possible.

A Quick Post: Readjusting Our Schedule

We're still having to use the computer lab on campus so our posts will probably be short for now.

Since moving, almost a month ago now, we've been trying to find the new rhythm for this season of our lives.

Tim's now settling into a very busy school and work schedule, while the little ones and I are striving to plan our days around when Daddy will be home.

Emahry and my morning learning time is having to evolve as Jonathan has given up his morning nap. We're also trying to spend more time training Emahry and Jonathan to play quietly together, which will be an invaluable asset when the new baby joins our family in February.

I'd love to hear about how you structure your days to include teaching, training, cleaning, meal preparations and everything else that's on the busy mom's to do list.
