One of the best things about life is a smile. It is an indication of so many different kinds of thoughts – silly, funny, warm, happy, content, and surprised. All good things!
Smiling is also contagious..
.in a good way.
I am really excited to be working with
Invisalign on promoting their Invisalign Smile it Forward Sweepstakes {enter below!} inspiring us all to
Smile it Forward.
It is so easy to get caught up in life’s schedule and what NEEDS to be done, that we forget to take a minute and enjoy the moment.
To stop and smile.
Thankfully, kids are usually much better at giving a quick smile or share a giggle! That is why I think it is important to keep that impulse fresh in their minds and “practice” sharing a smile!
Smile it Forward
About a month ago, I went reluctantly out to our mailbox to pick up the mail. It is a chore because my mail is an assortment of junk littered with bills. I pulled out the stack of envelopes, magazines and fliers and noticed a small envelope tucked among the promotional chaos.
I opened it up. It was a note from a friend saying how much she missed our family. A few simple sentences for no other purpose than to make me smile.
It made my day.
My friend {pictured in the middle} got me thinking about mail and the joy of receiving a letter. A joy that is rare these days amid the box spam.
I thought it would be fun to create a little printable that kids could easily fill out to
Smile it Forward to a friend or relative.

My smile is so important to me. It is one of the reasons why I have personally looked into getting orthodontic treatment with
Invisalign. Invisalign is a series of nearly invisible, removable “aligners” that are used to gradually straighten teeth without metal or wires.
Because not all dentists and orthodontists are certified Invisalign providers, the best way to find an one is to visit the Invisalign
Doctor Locator.

a Rafflecopter giveaway
If you won, WHO would get the other $500
{just for fun…I am not holding ya to it!}?
Thanks so much to Invisalign for sponsoring this giveaway and post. All thoughts and opinions are mine.
It would be a tough tie between my mum and my best friend. Most likely my mum though, I know she could use it.
Good luck Alexis!
If I won $500, I would keep it for myself and put it into my child’s education funds.
We have those too…so crazy to see how much college is going to cost in a few years. $500 saved now would do a bunch.
My friend has 5 kids and no insurance. Two need braces now. i would give it to her for sure.
What a difference that would make. Good luck!
If I won the $500, I would keep half for myself, and give half to my parents.
They would think that is awesome!
I would give it to my sister. She moved out to Oklahoma a few years ago from Indiana to follow her dreams and has really struggled this year. She doesn’t have any family out there since we’re all back in Indiana so I think it would probably make her cry, and then smile. A great gift that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to give her.

That kinda crying brings a smile :).
I would give it to Mimi B. A very good friend who has always been there when I needed her!
That would be so fun!
I had the cumbersome metal braces…not fun!
If I won, I would give the $500 to my best gal pal Cynthia. She’s one of the few people who can instantly tell when I need a laugh, and always manages to deliver the needed punchline.
It is so good to have a friend like that! good luck.
I would give the money to my mom or my friend E.
Good luck Carla!
There is a reader on my blog who is having a really bad year. She has Lupus and tings have been tough, so tough she won’t be having Christmas this year. I would give it to her.
What an incredible gift that would be. I heart my online friends so much!
I would give it to my family.
Good luck Charity!
