Happy March everyone! March 19th is the first day of spring and our team at Pack Orthodontics is in deep anticipation for the warmer days ahead. Spring time is all about renewal, which makes it a great time to freshen up our office and our homes! Read on to learn how our team tackles spring cleaning, tips on oral care, and office updates.
The team handles their cleaning strategy all a little differently. Megan, Hope, Ashley, and Denise tackle their spring cleaning one room at a time and focuses on getting rid of items that are no longer used. Morgan gets rid of items she no longer needs and organizes everything else. Nina does a deep clean of her entire house then donates unwanted items to Goodwill. Laurie donates items that haven’t been used in the last 6 months.
Besides spring cleaning, the team all have different goals they would like to accomplish this month. Hope and Megan would like to have a successful pop up event for their small business, the Dainty Hanger. Denise plans to paint her family room. This month Morgan plans to work out and enjoy time with friends. Eating better is not only Nina’s month goal but it’s her lifelong goal. Laurie is going to deep clean and declutter her house. Ashley is going to get ready for Pack Orthodontics' big staff appreciation luncheon coming up in May.
Spring time is not only for cleansing physical spaces but also for a renewal of self. The team all has different areas in their lives they would like to improve. Megan would like to dedicate more time to exercise and Ashley has a similar goal of having both a healthy mind and a healthy body. Denise strives to not to take others' words to heart and Hope would like to take things as they come and worry less about the big picture. Morgan would like to make her relationship with Jesus even better. Nina wants to focus on the relationships with the people in her life. Laurie continues to strive to be the best she can be.
Losing track of your new year oral health goals? The team has some recommendations to get you back on track. Megan wants to remind patients to eat healthy! Maintaining a healthy diet is just as important as a good oral health routine. Hope, Nina, and Denise both agree seeing your dentist every 6 months for check-ups and regular cleanings is crucial for a healthy and happy smile. Morgan suggests staying away from foods that cause cavities like soda and candy. Laurie recommends looking in the mirror before and after you brush!
For the warm spring days ahead, you can find our team enjoying life in a multitude of ways. You can find Megan and Ashley on the porch of a Mexican restaurant, sipping a margarita. Denise plans on being in the outdoors with her lovely grandkids. Morgan will also spend a lot of time outdoors by the lake or pool. Laurie wants to enjoy the sunshine with her friends. Nina enjoys going out for lunch on a beautiful day. Hope loves to visit the Arrington Vineyards.
Life might be a little uncertain right now but the team all continue to dream of their next vacation. Megan and Morgan want to visit the beach. Denise is craving to be adventurous and visit Bora Bora. Paris, Greece or Ireland are on Nina’s travel bucket list. Hope is curious about travelling to Giraffe Manor in Kenya. Laurie would love to visit family in California and Ashley can’t wait to go back to London!
With spring comes a few office updates for our patients. We will officially change our Wednesday hours, and the thermostat! Warmer days are ahead for us all. We hope you are having a healthy and happy start to your spring. Stay safe everyone.
