Affiliate Information for Bottom Left of the Mitten
Just a quick little note: I may be an affiliate, post coupon links or use paid advertising for products that are recommended or reviewed on my blog. If you like an item that I link to and make that purchase I will earn a commission. This does not mean that you will pay a higher amount for this item, it just means that you think I have good taste as I do not tend to endorse products that I myself would not use. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
