Congratulations to everyone at Merriman Grange and Cinnamon on 10 years of creating such a warm and welcoming community. Here's to many more years of happiness and celebration! 🎉🥂

Fun Friday Fact: Your big toe has tiny “helper bones” 👣🫘

Did you know there are two small pea-shaped bones under the big toe joint called sesamoid bones?

They may be tiny, but they have an important job.

A few quick facts:
🦴 They help the big toe move smoothly
🚶 They support push-off when you walk
👟 They can feel irritated if there is too much pressure under the ball of the foot
👠 Thin soles, high heels, or lots of time on hard floors can make this area feel more noticeable

It is a good reminder that even the smallest parts of the foot can make a big difference to comfort and movement.

👉 Fun question for this Friday:
