20200924_172622

Hello friends! I cannot believe we have officially welcomed fall. Can you? This year has just flown by, and I’m grateful that as a family we were able to spend a little time at the beach to help close summer out. If you follow my blog, than you know that every summer we head south of San Antonio to the Corpus Christi and North Padre Island, Texas area. This year was extra special since our little family has grown from three to four! Although we were excited for a little weekend getaway, it was also important for us to social distance, and feel as safe as possible, so I was beyond excited to learn about these new resort style condominiums on Mustang Island called Lively Beach.

Hi friends! Over the past month I have had an oral health breakthrough! Having a healthy pretty smile has always been very important to me.

I’m always looking to up my smile game though, so as you can imagine I was so excited when Smile Brilliant reached out to me to review the cariPRO Ultrasonic electric toothbrush.
