Terms of Use
Effective Date: June 26, 2017
Last Updated: July 10, 2025
Welcome to MonieMoore.com — a home for soulful stories, Southern recipes, and the kind of truth that sticks to your ribs. By being here, you agree to the following terms, which are designed to protect both you and this space I’ve poured my heart into.
1. Using This Site
If you browse, read, comment, or interact in any way on MonieMoore.com, you’re agreeing to be kind, respectful, and play fair. Please don’t:
- Use the site for anything shady, harmful, or illegal.
- Copy or republish content without asking first.
- Try to break, hack, or mess with the site’s design or functionality.
This space is for inspiration, not imitation.
2. Ownership & Copyright
Unless otherwise noted, everything on this site — from recipes to reflections — is original content created by me, Monie Moore. That includes words, images, graphics, and branding. Sharing is lovely; stealing is not.
If something moves you enough to share, thank you — just link back to the original post and give proper credit.
3. Your Comments & Contributions
If you comment on a post, submit a form, or otherwise contribute content:
- You still own your words, but you’re giving me permission to display them on the site.
- Don’t post anything offensive, hateful, or illegal. I reserve the right to delete anything that doesn’t match the spirit of this space.
This porch is meant to be safe and soul-nourishing — let’s keep it that way.
4. No Guarantees (Except That You’ll Find Butter Somewhere)
Everything here is shared “as is” — that means with honesty and heart, but without guarantees. I’m not a therapist, doctor, or financial advisor. The reflections, devotionals, and recipes are based on my personal experience and faith walk. They’re meant to encourage, not prescribe.
5. Limitation of Liability
By using this site, you agree that MonieMoore.com and I (the lady behind it) aren’t liable for any damages — direct, indirect, emotional, or otherwise — that might come from using, misusing, or misunderstanding any content found here.
In short: I’m here to bless, not to stress.
6. Third-Party Links
Sometimes I link to other websites — tools, shops, or resources I love. I’m not responsible for what happens once you leave my site. Please read their terms and policies, too.
7. Changes & Updates
I may update these terms from time to time to keep things current. If that happens, I’ll post the new version right here. Continuing to use the site means you’re cool with the changes.
8. Texas Roots, Texas Rules
This site is based in Texas, so if any legal issues arise, they’ll be handled according to the laws of the great state of Texas.
9. Questions? Let’s Chat.
If you’ve got questions about these terms (or anything else), feel free to reach out:
Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 26, 2017
Last Updated: July 10, 2025
Pull up a chair — let’s talk privacy. I may love storytelling, but I’m not in the business of telling your story unless you’ve given me permission. Your privacy matters here, just like good manners and a properly buttered biscuit.
1. What I Collect (and Why)
When you hang out on MonieMoore.com, I may collect a few pieces of personal info — but only if you choose to give it. That includes:
- Your name + email (if you subscribe to the newsletter or leave a comment)
- Anything you submit through a form (like reaching out to say hi or requesting a recipe tweak)
I use this info to:
- Respond to you
- Share updates you’ve asked for
- Make this site better for readers like you
That’s it. I’m not here to be creepy.
2. Cookies (The Internet Kind)
This site may use cookies — tiny data files that help your browser remember things like your preferences or what page you visited last. You can always clear or block them in your browser settings. Totally up to you.
3. Third-Party Tools
I may use trusted tools like:
- Google Analytics (to understand how folks find the site)
- Email platforms (to send newsletters if you signed up)
- Affiliate programs (see the Affiliate Disclosure for more)
These tools may collect non-personal data about how you use the site. They have their own privacy policies, and I encourage you to read those too.
4. Your Rights
If at any point you’d like to:
- Know what info I have on file
- Update or correct that info
- Ask me to delete it entirely
Just email me at [email protected] and I’ll take care of it, no fuss.
5. Data Safety
I do my best to keep your information secure and use reasonable precautions. But since nothing online is 100% guaranteed, please know you share your info at your own discretion.
6. Kids
This site isn’t intended for kids under 13, and I don’t knowingly collect information from children. If you’re a parent and you think your child has submitted something, contact me and I’ll handle it with care.
7. Updates
I may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always live on this page, with both the effective date and updated date listed at the top.
8. Questions?
I’m not hiding anything. If you have questions, concerns, or just want to chat about cookies (the edible kind), drop me a line:
Affiliate Disclosure
Let’s keep it real: some of the links on this site are affiliate links. That means if you click through and buy something, I might earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
But here’s the deal:
I don’t recommend products I wouldn’t use myself or gift to my besties. If I link it, I either love it, use it, or truly believe it’ll bless your life in some way — whether it’s in the kitchen, your quiet time, or your mascara routine.
These small commissions help keep the lights on around here (and the butter stocked), so thank you for supporting this little corner of the internet.
If you have questions about any affiliate relationship or sponsored content, you’re always welcome to email me at:
Accessibility Statement
I believe the internet should feel like a front porch — open, welcoming, and made for everyone. At MonieMoore.com, I’m doing my best to create a space that’s accessible for all visitors, no matter your background, device, or ability.
That means:
- Clear navigation and readable fonts
- Image alt-text (for screen readers and SEO alike)
- Sensible color contrast (no neon on neon here)
- Thoughtful structure and continual improvements
I’m learning and growing, and while I can’t promise perfection, I can promise intention. If something’s not working for you, please let me know — I’ll do my best to fix it, not just for you but for everyone who comes after.
Drop me a note anytime at [email protected].
Thanks for being here. It’s a joy and a privilege to share this space with you.
Keep it kind, keep it real, and pass the pie.
