Working With Brands

My Life As A Mummy occasionally works with brands on reviews, sponsored posts, and family-friendly campaigns. Past collaborations have included names such as Chad Valley and Lakeland Furniture, alongside a wide range of toy and household items tested at home with Cameron, Lucas, and Matt.

Any gifted products, paid collaborations, or sponsored content are clearly labelled within the relevant post so readers can tell the difference between editorial pieces and brand partnerships.

Transparency is at the heart of how this blog operates. Whenever a product has been gifted by a brand or a post has been sponsored in some way, that information is clearly signposted within the content itself. This allows readers to understand the nature of the relationship behind each recommendation, whether it is a toy the children have been playing with, a piece of home furniture, or a family activity that has been tried and tested. The goal is to maintain trust by making the distinction between genuine editorial opinion and paid collaboration obvious from the outset, so nothing feels hidden or misleading.

Affiliate links are used across the site as a way to help cover the costs of running the blog. When a reader clicks on one of these links and makes a purchase, a small commission may be earned at no extra cost to the buyer. These links are always placed within posts that reflect honest opinions and real family experiences. Products are selected because they fit the lifestyle and interests of the household, not simply because a brand has offered compensation. Any content containing affiliate links remains authentic, and the decision to include them is based on whether the item is something the family genuinely uses and enjoys.

All opinions expressed on the site remain the writer's own, regardless of whether a post has been sponsored, contains affiliate links, or features a gifted item. The family's real-world testing with their own children shapes every review and recommendation shared here. Brands are never given editorial control over the final content, and the integrity of each post is prioritised above commercial agreements. Readers can be confident that the experiences described reflect honest, at-home use rather than scripted advertising. This approach ensures the blog stays true to its roots as a personal parenting and lifestyle journal.

Affiliate Links & Advertising

Some links within blog posts are affiliate links. If a reader clicks through and makes a purchase, the blog may earn a small commission at no extra cost to them. These links help support the time spent writing, photographing, and testing products with the family.

Occasional display advertising and monetised partnerships may also appear on the site. Sponsored placements are always disclosed in line with current UK advertising guidance.
