hey girl,

In the spirit of “keeping it real”, I wanted to share something with you – I am looking into selling/placing ads on my blog. I have up until this point accepted button swaps, & had Passionfruit ad options available, but I haven’t actively pursued bringing in advertisements to this little corner of the internet. This was a conscious choice on my part because I felt as if I was just getting to know you, as you were just meeting me, & I didn’t want some big, flashy banner ads in the sidebar to interrupt our first date. But now that we know each other a little better, I want to continue to grow, & bring you new/exciting content, & that means there might be a new ad or two popping up in various places.

We are on this road together! {via} 

I will never dilute my content just to cater to an ad client, & I want your feedback (the good, the bad, the ugly, just try to be constructive) as these changes roll out. Please do not up & leave me without letting me know what the issues are & giving me a chance to make this a happy place for everyone.

Blogging is not my full time job (not even part time, or other wise either), but actually just my hobby that I am crazy passionate about. It is my only hope that these small changes will help Here&Now continue to be a place you enjoy visiting (everyday, once a week, when you get a chance), hopefully the only differences you will notice are more fun giveaways, exiting new product features, clever campaign announcements, & the like.

Join me on this fun adventure! {via}
