This is a great group of women! If you are looking for a new dentist, I and my entire family- kids and all- can personally attest The Dental Studio of Southern Illinois will take care of you and all of your dental needs. Run by two Clinton County women/dentists/entrepreneurs!!❤️❤️

We took the day to show gratitude to our family at The Dental Studio!! A little R and R is good for everyone!! We have the best ladies on our team and are so thankful for each of them. Our patients are seriously the best too, and we ran into a few of them as we were out today which was so cool!

✨🎄 As we enjoy the final month of an incredible year celebrating inspiring Clinton County families and individuals, I’m thrilled to introduce our December cover family: The Nordikes of Carlyle — Eric, Alicia, Aften, and Easten.

The Nordikes are one of those families who make a busy life look effortless. Eric and Alicia give so much to their work, businesses, and community, and Aften and Easten stay busy with the things they love. But no matter what’s going on, they always find their way back to each other — a beautiful reminder of what matters most, especially this time of year.

Help me congratulate the Nordike Family on being our December cover family! ❤️🎄 Happy Holidays, friends and neighbors!

Thanksgiving may be this week, but we know Santa is already on your mind! 🎅✨
Kick off the holiday season next Thursday, December 4th, at Light Brite in Trenton. Come enjoy the lights, the cheer, and a magical night out right here at home! 🌟🎄

🎅 We're ready for Santa's visit Thursday, Dec. 4 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.! Bring your children and cameras for photos with Santa; he'll have a treat bag for each child. 🎄 Children can send a letter to the North Pole, enjoy milk & cookies, and make and take home a fun craft. Parents are welcome to join their children for a family photo with Santa, too! The scene is "Christmas card perfect," thanks to Kelly & Lynn and our woodworkers. This event is free and open to the public and will be held in our beautiful lighting showroom. ✨ Please share - the more, the merrier!
