A Note From Erin Before We Get Into the Fine Print
I’ve always believed that honesty is the foundation of everything worth building — this blog included. So before your eyes glaze over from legal language, I just want to say plainly: I will always tell you when something is sponsored, when I’ve received a product for review, or when a link on this site may earn me a small commission. That’s a promise, not a policy. The policy just puts it in writing.
Disclosure Policy
This blog — Once a Mom Always a Mom — is a personal blog written and edited by Erin Howard. It is also connected to Bucket List Adventures, LLC, a Cruise Planners travel agency franchise co-owned by Erin and Anthony Howard, based in Northern Nevada.
This blog accepts forms of compensation including sponsored posts, paid partnerships, product gifting, affiliate commissions, and travel experiences provided in exchange for coverage. Any content that involves compensation will always be clearly identified as sponsored, gifted, or paid.
Compensation may influence which topics or products are featured, but it does not influence my honest opinion. Ever. If I don’t like something, I reserve the right not to publish a review at all rather than say something I don’t mean. My readers trust me. That trust is worth more than any sponsorship check.
This blog also participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that some links on this site — particularly links to travel products, booking platforms, Amazon, and other retailers — may earn a small commission if you click through and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products and services I genuinely believe in.
As a Cruise Planners travel advisor, some travel content on this site is also connected to our agency services at cruiseresorttravel.com. Links to our agency are always clearly identified.
