    Last updated: December 2025

    At No Ordinary Homestead, transparency and trust matter deeply to us. This site has been around for a long time, and our readers have grown with us through many seasons of life — travel, homesteading, fitness, family adventures, RV life, and everything in between.

    This page explains how this site operates, how content is created, and how we handle things like reviews, affiliate links, sponsorships, and your privacy.

    Editorial Integrity & Product Reviews

    No Ordinary Homestead is a personal blog written and edited by me.

    I enjoy sharing products, tools, services, and ideas that I genuinely use in my daily life — whether that’s travel gear, RV resources, fitness products, home essentials, pet products, or lifestyle tools that make life simpler or more intentional.

    All reviews and recommendations shared on this site reflect my honest opinions and experiences. They are never influenced by a company’s request for positive coverage.

    Products Received at No Cost

    Occasionally, companies may provide products or services free of charge for review. In some cases — such as races, athletic events, travel experiences, or conferences — I may receive complimentary samples, entry fees, accommodations, or travel-related perks.

    Whenever this happens:

    • It will be clearly disclosed within the post

    • I will explain how the product or experience was provided

    • My review will remain honest and independent

    If I don’t like a product, I will either:

    • Choose not to review it at all, or

    • Clearly explain what didn’t work for me and why

    Receiving compensation — whether in the form of products, services, or payment — never guarantees a positive review.

    Products Purchased Personally

    If I purchased a product myself, I may or may not explicitly state that in the post. Regardless, all opinions shared remain genuine and experience-based.

    Sponsored Content

    From time to time, No Ordinary Homestead may publish sponsored posts or content for which compensation is received.

    When this occurs:

    • Sponsored content will be clearly identified

    • The post will reference this disclosures page

    • Editorial control remains ours — always

    We only partner with brands that align with our values and audience. Sponsored relationships never override honesty or integrity.

    Affiliate Disclosure

    No Ordinary Homestead participates in affiliate marketing programs.

    This means that some links on this site may be affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

    Why We Use Affiliate Links

    Affiliate partnerships help support this site and allow us to:

    • Cover hosting, software, and operating costs

    • Continue creating in-depth guides, stories, and planning resources

    • Offer free content without relying on intrusive ads

    Our Commitment to You

    • We only recommend products and services we personally use, trust, or genuinely believe add value.

    • Affiliate relationships never influence our opinions or recommendations.

    • Many links on this site are included purely for reference or usefulness and have no affiliation at all.

    Using our affiliate links helps support No Ordinary Homestead — but whether you use them or not, the price you pay remains the same.

    No Guarantees & Use of Information

    Any advice, recommendations, or resources shared on this site are for informational and educational purposes only.

    Results may vary based on individual circumstances, effort, experience, and conditions. What works for one person, family, RV setup, or lifestyle may not work for another.

    Any product claims, statistics, quotes, or representations should be verified with the manufacturer or service provider directly.

    Testimonials & Experiences

    Any testimonials, stories, or case studies shared on this site reflect real experiences from individuals who have chosen to share them voluntarily. No testimonials are provided in exchange for direct payment unless clearly stated.
