Firecracker 4K is just around the corner!

Join us July 4th for a fun, festive start to the holiday!

Excellent blog post by one of our year-long sponsors, Aligned Life and Legacy Law, PC. Schedule a consultation with Lauren if you're in need of such family planning!

Most parents have thought about who would raise their children if something happened to them. Maybe during a long drive. Maybe in a conversation with a partner that reached an agreement in your heads, but never made it onto paper.

Here is what most parents don't realize: that agreement doesn't exist in the eyes of the law. If something happened to you tonight, the decision about who raises your children wouldn't belong to you anymore. It would belong to a court.

And there is a second question almost no one plans for: what happens in the first 72 hours? Who has the legal authority to pick up your children from school if you were hospitalized tonight? Who can authorize emergency care? Even the people who love your children most have no automatic right to step in.

This week's blog is about both questions and what it takes to actually have an answer to each.

Happy Global Running Day!

Running does more than strengthen our bodies—it strengthens our minds. Every mile, jog, walk, and stride can improve cardiovascular health, reduce stress, boost mood, build confidence, and support overall mental wellness.

Today, celebrate movement in whatever way works for you. A few minutes is enough to make a difference. Move your body. Clear your mind.
