I understand that everyone blogs – and everyone reads blogs – for different reasons. That’s why I’ve been so aware of trying to accomodate my readers (that’s YOU!) with their reading preferences (ie: all, personal, or product post subscriptions, as well as clearly labelling reviews as reviews).
But I would just like to make one little point.
For the most part, the products I choose to review are items I think will fit well into my family’s life and lifestyle. Now, there are SOME times when I present a product as part of a review team I belong to (see “Affiliations” in the sidebar on the right), or because I think maybe my readers will appreciate it. But I would say that roughly 93% of the time (number is not scientific) the products I review are things that get absorbed into our day-to-day lives, and become things I really am enthusiastic about sharing as a part of that life.
And in telling the story of how we’re using the products, my goal is to avoid “going all QVC” on you. I’m not a shopping channel. I have the opportunity to review products, and I really have fun with that, but I HOPE I’m still able to communicate things about my life at home through those reviews.
Basically, I’m asking you – if you never read the reviews, if you just assume they are all gar-baj – to reconsider. Just try out a couple of the review posts and see if you can still hear my voice, or get insight into life here at our house. If not, that’s fine. But I really am trying to accomplish something here – to be ME, no matter what the title of the post it may be, or how it may be qualified.
