Invisalign- Week 31

We made it through the first month of school (barely)!  Gianna is adjusting well to middle school and absolutely loves going everyday.  She even sets an alarm and willingly wakes up at 6:30 a.m. each morning.  Who is this girl and what did she do with my daughter?  A vast change and improvement from last year.  Mia, however, has already declared that school is too long and boring.   She would rather stay home all day and resume her YouTube studies! As much as I miss the summer, the routine has been helpful for my business.  I have been keeping busy with old and new clients this season and now have more time for try-on sessions and blogging again. In the midst of the chaos, I can proudly report that I have reached week 31 of my Invisalign journey.  Not sure how I made it this far, but I am ...

Farewell Summer 2019

I think this was the fastest summer to date.  I blinked and here we are again.  Alarm clocks set, backpacks packed, and lunches prepared.  3rd and 6th grade here we come.  This year, in particular, I am uneasy.  Middle School is going to be a huge adjustment.  Emotionally, physically, and academically.  I am not prepared for the drama that is about to ensue.  I am scared.  I fear that my relationship with Gianna will be different now that she is a tween and gaining more independence.  I want my ...

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 ...

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 ...
