I Took the Little Remedies #SayYes2Less Pledge

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Little Remedies. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. As a writer, there were two things always ingrained into my head. The first one involves “show, don’t tell.” It basically means rather than spelling everything out for your reader and hitting them over the head with information, you should descriptively …

I loved the balloons, while my sister couldn’t wait …

by Andrew Kardon

About a month ago, I got to do something pretty amazing. Thanks to my wonderful blogging credentials (they really need to make Blog Passes, like they do for the Press), I was invited by the wonderful folks at Disney to participate in something truly magical.
