Hi there! Before you dive into all the recipes, home tips, and garden ideas here at My Cozy Homemaker, I want to share a few honest notes about the content on this site. Nothing scary, just some friendly transparency so we’re all on the same page.
This is a personal blog
Everything you read here comes from my own kitchen, my own home, and my own garden. I’m Sarah, a home cook and hobby gardener, not a professional chef, registered dietitian, doctor, or licensed contractor. I share what works for me and my family, but every home, every body, and every garden is a little different. Please use your own good judgment and adjust anything to fit your situation.
Recipes and food
I do my best to give clear, accurate recipes, but cooking results can vary based on ingredients, equipment, altitude, and a hundred other little things. Cooking and baking times are guidelines, not guarantees.
Please always:
- Check that food is cooked to a safe internal temperature
- Be aware of your own food allergies and dietary needs
- Read ingredient labels carefully, especially if you have allergies
Any nutritional information shared is an estimate only and shouldn’t be treated as medical or dietary advice. If you have specific health concerns, please talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian.
Home and DIY tips
The home, cleaning, and DIY suggestions on this site are based on my personal experience. Some projects involve tools, cleaning products, or techniques that carry a bit of risk. Always read product labels, follow manufacturer instructions, and put safety first. If a project feels beyond your comfort level, there’s no shame in calling a professional. I’m not responsible for how projects turn out in your home.
Garden advice
Gardening is wonderfully unpredictable! What thrives in my Ohio backyard may behave completely differently in your climate, soil, or growing zone. Treat my garden tips as a starting point, not a guarantee, and always check the specific needs of your plants and local growing conditions.
Affiliate links and earnings
To keep this blog up and running, I sometimes include affiliate links in my posts. This means if you click a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. I only ever recommend products I genuinely like or would use myself.
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Your support through these links helps me keep creating free content, and I truly appreciate it.
Advertisements
This site displays ads to help cover the costs of running it. I don’t control the specific ads you see, and their presence doesn’t mean I endorse those products or companies.
External links
Sometimes I link to other websites I find helpful. Once you leave my site, I have no control over the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of those other sites. Visiting them is at your own discretion.
No guarantees
I share everything here in good faith and with love, but I can’t promise specific results from any recipe, tip, or project. You use the information on this site at your own risk.
A friendly reminder
At the end of the day, this is a cozy little corner of the internet where I share the things that make my home happy. Take what’s helpful, leave what isn’t, and always trust your own instincts.
Thanks for reading, and happy cooking, decorating, and gardening!
