TO THE WOMEN WHO MADE US A HEARTFELT THANKS!
Hands down, mothers are the greatest blessing in our lives. They provide us with so much unconditional love, support our dreams and endeavors, and are our greatest source of reason and inspiration. From the sidelines, they will always be our best cheerleaders in all that we do and, no matter what, will always want to see us succeed and flourish. Because of Mother's Day, I've reflected on the extraordinary women who have made a large impact on my life. I’m so fortunate to have three incredible mothers in my circle: my own mother, Abby Barnett; my mother-in-law, Laura Ferguson; and my wife, Nicole, who is also the loving mother of our children.
I’m so lucky to call her my wife and mother of my children.
Since day one, Nicole has had so much strength and grace as a mother. Our children have unique needs, and Nicole meets these with a remarkable mix of sacrifice and creativity. She not only ensures that our home is comfy, warm, and beautiful, but she also plans and puts together incredible family adventures that leave us all in awe. Her ability to manage the kids' needs while giving them ample space to grow and explore independently is nothing short of inspiring. “Amazing” barely captures what Nicole brings to our family — her dedication is truly admirable, and I’m so lucky to call her my wife and mother of my children. Mother's Day was a wonderful way to celebrate the monumental impact of these women on our lives. Whether creating unforgettable memories, providing educational support, or demonstrating unconditional love, mothers shape us in so many ways. To all the mothers out
My mom sacrificed a great deal to ensure that my sister and I had fulfilling childhoods. I remember she was always present at our countless sporting events and school activities. She had such a creative touch about her that made simple moments memorable. Whether it was driving a carpool to flag football games or surprising us with her infamous pizza bagels — the envy of all my friends — she was always there, encouraging us to push our limits and achieve our dreams. This support instilled in me the values of exceeding expectations and loving unconditionally. Thanks to her, my childhood is full of cherished memories! Laura Ferguson, my mother-in-law, has been an incredible grandmother to our children. Her unconditional love and support and the joyous memories we've created with her have been a huge part of our lives. She raised an extraordinary daughter, Nicole, who has become the love of my life and a phenomenal mother, too!
there — thank you for your endless love and invaluable lessons. You are truly our greatest cheerleaders and biggest blessings. We hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Create a Stunning Flower Planter — With Minimal Effort
As any gardener will tell you, gardening is hard but has an incredible payoff. Yet rewarding as it may be, much toil and sweat goes into every plant. Not everyone wants to spare the time. If you long for flourishing flora around your home but are leery of the time commitment, you’re in luck. Creating a vibrant flower display with little to no effort is easy. The end goal of this project is to fill an outdoor planter with flowers. To call this a “project” at all does a disservice to projects, which typically require some degree of work. This undertaking only requires a few minutes and zero maintenance. You’ll need a planter, a hanging basket full of blooming flowers, and a pot. Planters come in all shapes and sizes; square, wooden planters
look especially nice. It can be any planter if it fits your chosen basket. The hanging flower basket should overflow with blooming flowers with a hanger in the middle you can remove. Lastly, the pot will be used to elevate the basket in the planter, and it won’t be seen, so use whichever vessel you have lying around. Just a simple clay pot will do. It should be about half the size of the planter. Turn the pot upside down and place it in the planter. If you’re using the right pot, you won’t be able to see it from the outside, and you’ll have enough space for the basket to sit on top without it being taller than the upper rim of the planter but not too low, either.
basket should fill the entire space, creating the illusion of a beautiful, stunning flower arrangement you grew and potted yourself. If you see gaps between the flowers and the planter rim, adjust the height of the pot underneath or find a smaller planter. Take the hanger off the basket. The hanger is easy to remove on most baskets; you can usually just twist it off. A few aren’t removable, necessitating cutting tools to snip the three wires attached to the pot. Congratulations, you’ve done it! In less than 15 minutes, you’ve created a stunning display to enliven your outdoor space. Nothing is preventing you from doing it for inside arrangements, either.
Lower the hanging flower basket onto the pot in the planter. The flowers in the
OUR CLIENTS SAY IT BEST “From the very beginning, Case was extremely thorough and mindful of the fact that, as someone who had never been in trouble with the law before, I would need the entire process explained again and again. Case was compassionate to my situation to a degree not normally seen in any capacity, which very much helped to put me at ease during the various legal proceedings. After almost a yearlong process and many difficult days in court, we went to trial. As a non-lawyer I know that I can't accurately describe how impressive it was to witness Case in trial. What I can say is that he had a mastery of the facts, down the smallest detail, and that required a level of commitment not normally seen in any profession. The jury was out for less than two hours before we returned to hear the life-changing verdict. Case dedicated himself to understanding every facet of the case; because of that, my future remains intact. I owe my life to Case Barnett.” –Edward S.

Palette of Possibilities 3 PAINTING IDEAS TO BRING IN SPRING
Bubble Wrap Printing With this next project, you can recycle the bubble wrap from any packages you receive during the week. Kids can dip bubble wrap into different paint colors and press it into paper or even the cardboard of those same boxes. This will create a textured and unique print you can hang up in your home. This activity can introduce kids of all ages to various textures and printmaking. These textures will often look organic and mimic shapes in the outside world, bringing another natural element into your activity. Glow-in-the-Dark Painting You can approach this magical project in a couple of different ways. All you need is glow- in-the-dark paint and some paper. One option is to have them paint a nature-inspired picture and then, when it dries, charge it under some light to reveal beautiful colors. You can also tell them to draw a secret message or picture
In spring, nature shows us everything new: budding plants to blooms galore. Kids see this metamorphosis, too, so why not use this season to help your kids grow their own creativity? Here are three ways to encourage their creativity through painting. Nature-Infused Masterpieces For this activity, encourage kids to spend about half an hour outside picking their favorite leaves, flowers, or small twigs and rocks. While they’re collecting, set up paper and paint on a flat surface, but don’t add paintbrushes! Once they’ve picked their favorite bits of nature, bring them inside. Explain that they’ll be using these pieces of nature to stamp and brush, or they can even glue them onto the paper. This activity not only sparks creativity but also connects children with natural objects. They must think creatively to use these unconventional materials to construct a painting.
and then paint over it. When the paint dries, it becomes transparent and even more colorful — watch their wonder as their hidden pictures appear. This fun twist can provide a unique angle to a conventional art session. Painting isn’t just about colors on paper; for kids, it’s about unlocking their imagination and allowing them to explore the endless possibilities of artistic expression. Simple materials upcycled with innovative techniques can transform painting into a joyful and educational pastime. These three projects are just the beginning of a beautiful journey into art for the whole family.
