THE EXCITEMENT OF THE GREAT OUTDOORS SEPTEMBER’S TRANSITION DAZZLES US WITH BEAUTY
The end of summer is always bittersweet for us. It’s hard to say goodbye to the warm temperatures, and the kids dread saying goodbye to their vacation. It’s a process getting the kids back into their school year routine. But soon enough, we’re back in the thick of it and moving full speed ahead. Our kids had an awesome summer vacation. Our two oldest children learned how to wakesurf with a friend, and all the kids spent a lot of time in the water. August brought a lot of memories. We loved participating in the annual Palace City Pedalers Glow Ride and Tour de Corn, and camping out in Nebraska to witness the solar eclipse and experience totality was the perfect end to summer.
It’s hard to say goodbye to perfect boating
weather, but September’s
weather is ideal for its own host of activities, including biking, bonfires, evening walks, and football games. We love to see kids in the community taking advantage of the pump track and new trails around Lake Mitchell, and the foliage is beautiful. In a few months, most of us will be burrowed
up inside our homes, taking refuge from the freezing cold. But for now, we get to enjoy that sweet spot in the season when the temperatures are close to perfect.
We hope you’re able to spend time outdoors this month. With better health and well-being, you’re sure to smile more.
– Dr. Christopher Hart

A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP:
WORTH THE INVESTMENT
Restful sleep is a huge part of the fueling our body to perform at our best. Do you ever wake up and think, “I feel like I just laid down!” or “WHY is my alarm clock already going off?” When you are not filling your tank with deep rest, you feel it in every area of your life. Sleep disorders are an incredibly common disruption many people face. It is estimated that 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, a disorder that results in disrupted breathing while sleeping. Often ignored or dismissed as no big deal, sleep apnea can be eased with an easy-to-use oral appliance, fit to your mouth, much like a night guard, to align your jaw in the perfect position. What would your day-to-day life look like if you approached every day well-rested? One simple and affordable sleep study can make way for more energy to hit the gym, take that walk with your family in the evenings, or be more focused at work, so you can spend more time doing what you love.
Investing in your heath is as simple as saying “I deserve to feel better!” Call us today to discuss a plan to make your alarm clock sound much sweeter tomorrow! STAFF SPOTLIGHT: CARA

Keep Your Trick-or-Treaters Safe This Halloween

KNOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD
You may wonder if trick-or-treating is safe, especially when stories of poisoned Halloween candy circulate every year. These terrifying tales have all been hoaxes, but beyond needlessly frightening parents, these urban legends take attention away from the real danger kids face while trick-or- treating. Safe Kids Worldwide reports that children are twice as likely to be struck by a car on Halloween than any other day of the year. Here’s what you need to remember before sending your little witches and knights out trick-or-treating.
It is important for trick-or-treaters of all ages to know how to behave safely as they walk down the sidewalks. They should always look both ways before crossing the street, never run out between parked cars, and make sure oncoming traffic is completely stopped before they step out into the road. Kids under the age of 12 should be accompanied by an adult, and older children should stick with their friends and never trick or treat alone. Trick-or-treating is a wonderful childhood tradition, and it shouldn’t end in tragedy. Talk to your kids about the risks and make sure they know why these rules are necessary. When you keep safety in mind, your trick-or-treaters can focus on the best part of Halloween: getting the most candy!
LIGHT UP THE NIGHT
Brightly colored costumes will help your child be better seen in the dark. That said, if your ghouls and goblins have their hearts set on being a real creature of the night, flashlights, glow-in-the-dark bracelets, and reflective tape attached to candy bags can help trick-or-treaters remain visible to drivers.
DRESS FOR COMFORT
The cold might not bother Elsa, but your trick-or-treater may not be ready to sing after the sun sets and the temperature drops. Have them wear jackets and gloves as needed and insist on shoes they can walk in. If your little princess is absolutely in love with her high heels, have her wear the pretty, uncomfortable shoes for pictures at the door, then switch into comfy sneakers before hitting the sidewalks.
