Celebrating Margot’s PAW Patrol birthday party

Earlier this month, we celebrated Margot’s third birthday with a PAW Patrol-themed party at our house. Margot’s love for PAW Patrol, and her favorite pup Marshall in particular, has been a life-long obsession.

The start of my Invisalign journey

There are a lot of exciting things on the horizon for our family, including a new furry family member (my Christmas present from Zack… introduction blog to come soon), attempting potty training with Margot now that she is 3 and seeming to get the idea, and prepping for her PAW Patrol birthday party later this month.

But in the true nature of celebrating a new year and starting a new adventure, one of the biggest personal lifestyle changes began this past week when I started Invisalign.
