This privacy policy explains about any information that might be collected here and what I do with it. Privacy is very important to me.

This site is a personal blog written by me, Fran Wicks.

  • The views and opinions I express are mine alone based on my personal experience. Your mileage may differ. Any product or service claim should always be verified with the manufacturer or service provider.
  • Although I may receive a commission on affiliate links, the price will always remain the same for you.
  • Any compensation I receive does not influence my opinions or information I provide. In fact, it is quite the reverse: that is: if I already like, use and recommend a product or service, I may seek out an affiliate relationship. I will always give you my honest thoughts.
  • Not all products, services or businesses mentioned on this site include affiliate links. In fact, most do not. Usually I recommend these things because I found them helpful or valuable or just a great Canadian resource and hope you will too.
