Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
Dude 2 is finally ready for Invisalign treatment! It has been a long road waiting for baby teeth to fall out and adult teeth to move into place, but he is finally ready to move forward! He was so excited to visit Dr. Thabet’s office during spring break and get started on the process. Our Invisalign Journey Officially Begins Before you get to the video,
I’m going to say something that is probably gonna get the gender police all riled up, but raising boys is hard. Keep your earrings on, and note, I did not say raising boys was harder than raising girls. I am not a boy mom who is about to tell you that.

Lately, I just don’t have time to focus my ideas to create engaging stuff people actually want to read. Just work, and kids stuff, and more work, and more kid stuff, and cookies.
