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.

Thanks so much to Invisalign for sponsoring this giveaway and post. All thoughts and opinions are mine.

My Dad could use the extra help.
I would split it with my buddy Jonathan because he’s in college and could use the extra cash to pay for his degree as he has to work to help pay for it.
I’d give it to my dad. He could use a little extra help.
I would give it to my grandma. Even though she doesn’t have much money, she is always more than willing to help any of us out .
I’d pass along the $$ to my Aunt who’s planning a Wedding on a Budget for next year.
I would give the other $500 to my brother.
I would give the money to my mom because she only receives social security.
I’d give the $500 to my mom who is battling cancer and could use a getaway for a weekend to refresh and laugh
I would give it to my mo who really needs it
I bet she would be thrilled. Good luck!
i would give the extra prize to my daughters college fund! it needs help!
