You know it was recently brought to my attention, that maybe many people who enter blog giveaways don’t realize how a winner is chosen. I wanted to take a moment to explain how I choose a giveaway winner and how most other bloggers do as well. When a giveaway submission comes through to me first I find out if I am going to charge my giveaway fee for hosting it or receive the same or similar product package in exchange for hosting said giveaway. I then wait to receive whatever form of compensation I will be receiving and if a product is submitted I must take time to fully review the product so that I can share my opinion based on the family experience with said product. Once I am …

Can’t Please ’em All
Image by nedrichards via Flickr I teach my children that nothing in life is fair, seriously. If life were always fair and things were always the right way and unexpected situations didn’t arise then life would be completely boring and not worth my time in all honesty!

Why Track Traffic on Website?
I use a few traffic stat programs for my blogs, Google Analytics, StatCounter and Get Clicky. Do not ask me why I use all three, because my answer would probably be “I don’t know“. I guess if I had to give you an answer as to why I use three different sites for traffic stats it is because all website analytic tools seem to calculate visitors differently. A friend of mine told me the other day that Compete only tracks US based traffic and of course I found that out after I sent my stats to a company with a direct link to my Happily Blended Compete Site Analytics. Google Analytics is great but I don’t see the same number with them as I do with StatCounter or Get Clicky. …
