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.

{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.

I would probably give it with my husband LOL. We’re driving across the country to see our family for Christmas and could use the extra cash!
We always drove across the country for holidays when I was a kid. Even though I complained about it, I do miss it now!
It’s so hard to decide – but I think my hubby 🙂
Good luck to you both!
I would give it to my brother. He is a newly single dad and a disabled war vet (lost his leg in Afghanistan) trying to start a contracting business to support himself and his 4 year old daughter. I would love to help him get going.
Thank him for me for his service to our country – good luck to you both!
I would give it to my hubby so he can invest it in his ooolllddd fixer up truck!
That will be a gift to both of you!
Wow! What a great giveaway! If I won, I’d give the $500 to my husband to thank him for all his hard work as a stay-at-home dad this year.
Oh I love that your husband does that!! How cool.
my brother needs dental help so badly and his health is in jeopardy
That is a problem for many people – so important!
I would give it to my brother as he is having hard times with loosing his home.
Oh no! Good luck to you.
I would give it to my dad, he’s helped my family so much, and he’s lost his fake teeth.
That sounds like a big problem!
me and my son
Good luck to you Charisse!
I would give the other $500 to my author friend Kissa Starling. She deserves it more than anyone I know!
Isn’t it nice to have such good, deserving friends? Good luck!
