    Invisalign: Week 16

The Griswold’s Take Lake George

We aren't one of those families that takes multiple vacations a year, so when we do go on vacation, it's extra meaningful.  We never really hop on a plane to visit exotic islands or tour other countries either.   Griswold style is how we roll: Pack up the family SUV and drive 3 hours to our getaway spot.  If you have been following along for awhile, then you know Lake George has always been my husband's escape.  It's more magnificent than Hawaii in his non-worldly eyes.  It's obvious the man doesn't get out much!  All joking aside, he has wonderful childhood memories on the lake and wanted to create new ones with our little tribe.  Lakes and I clash, but traditions and family time reign supreme.  Hence, I never object. This year, however, we ...

Invisalign: 21 weeks

The Summer is flying by.  Gianna has been very busy continuing to hone her craft at The Paper Mill Playhouse and Miss Mia is home spending all my money!  We are gearing up for our family vacation to The Sagamore Resort and I couldn't be more excited!  I am also very excited that my teeth are growing straighter and less crowded by the week.  Today I went for my 21 week check-up and the dentist said things were progressing beautifully!  I was happy to hear that because I have been working diligently to abide by the rules ...

Live in the Moment

It's Summer.  We should be thinking about swimming, the beach, and special time with family and friends.  Our attire should be light and airy.  The last thing on our minds are sweaters and boots when it's 100 degrees outside!  Retailers and social media, however,  see things differently.  We can no longer savor or live in the moment.  The world is always one step ahead and moving forward.  As soon as we settle in, the pressure arises to forge on and tackle something new.  Whether it be next season's ...

The Key to Amazon

For a long time I was an Amazon skeptic.  I worried that the fashionable images online were a farce, simply stolen pictures from a more reputable site. I feared the package that arrived on my doorstep 2 days later, would be nothing more than a cheaply made garment meant for the trash!  Sometimes this theory is quite accurate (lol), but I have learned to navigate the greatest online shopping haven in the world we call Amazon.  After getting acclimated, I can honestly say that I am addicted! Everything you need is a click ...

Invisalign: Week 16

It's hard to believe that it's the end of another school year and Summer 2019 is upon us! Time is passing by at lightning speed! This week Mia wraps up second grade and Gianna will say goodbye to elementary school! I have never been more scared in my life! Middle school is a frightening place and tweens who eventually morph into teenagers are an evil species. Pray for me now! I am on week 16 of my Invisalign journey! I'm still in disbelief. I never really thought I would take the plunge and correct something that has always made me self ...

Matilda

I have been so wrapped up with clients and social media blogging, that I hardly ever have time to write.  I promised myself that I would only engage on my blog when I was feeling inspired or really felt compelled to share an amazing piece.  As a reminder, all of my daily looks can be found on the shop my looks tab and I update my Amazon finds almost weekly! This weekend, however, was one for the books, and my emotions are in overdrive.  If you have been following me since the beginning, then you know my oldest daughter Gianna (the non ...
