I was a stay-at-home mom once upon a time. I would take my kids to the park, shoot the sh*t with the other moms, and pretend that my life was amazing and pretty close to perfect. Oh yes – I pretended to be a member of the perfect mom club. Well, now that I’m a […]...

When I was a young girl, I was very self-conscious about my smile because my teeth were everywhere. I went through the process of braces and retainers to have them straightened in Junior High and High School and loved how they looked afterwards. I took very special care of my teeth from that point on. […]...
