written and edited by Bonnie and periodic guest writers. We may receive
products directly from brands, manufacturers, public relations companies, and
brand marketing firms. In addition we have been invited to fairs, shows, and
other events. Complimentary services, gratis products, tickets and press
samples never compromise our coverage of the product or event. We will always cover
and disclose whatever we receive fairly and honestly.
Home Place will not be
paid for a review but may receive complimentary products, services, tickets,
and travel in exchange for our opinion. Any advice on this site is the opinion
of Home Place and any/all contributing editors for this site. We are in no way
responsible for the effects of our advice and always suggest that our readers
decide for themselves.
