Spring Has Sprung

Written by Amanda Lynch Elliott | 04/22/2025

My allergies might disagree, but every other part of me wholeheartedly believes that the best time of year is finally here.


My family and I drove to North Milton this weekend to pick strawberries, our sign that the Spring months are upon us.


One of my children cannot help but eat every single strawberry she picks, but the rest of us bring home a basket of the most beautiful and delicious strawberries.

At The Strawberry Farm, much to my husband’s dismay, they also had a Tupperware container full of the most adorable, fluffy live chicks for sale which captivated my daughters in such a way that we will now likely add chickens to our repertoire. 


The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and the morning air - still slightly crisp with the cooler night temps – was invigorating.


“Ahhh” I thought to myself - this is what we’ve been waiting for.


Springtime! 


There’s just something magical about this time of year when the world shakes off its winter coat and bursts into a symphony of colors and scents. It's as if Mother Nature herself has hit the refresh button, and everything is vibrating with life. 


The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and even the squirrels seem to have a little extra pep in their step. 


I joke with family and friends that I can feel my seasonal depression lift at the first suggestion of spring.


It's a season of new beginnings and fresh starts, a time to declutter not just our homes but our lives.


Speaking of fresh starts, let's talk about something that might not be as lovely but is just as important: estate planning. 


Now, I know what you're thinking—"Estate planning? Isn't that about as exciting as watching paint dry?" But hear me out! 


It doesn’t have to be painful! Just read one of our many client reviews that suggest quite the opposite, actually.


In our office, we strive to make the planning process seamless, efficient, and maybe even a little fun. We walk our clients through our tried-and-true processes with ease, and on the other side they are confident in their choices and empowered that their loved ones are protected and their wishes accomplished at their passing.


Just like spring cleaning, organizing your affairs can bring a sense of lightness and peace of mind that is truly invigorating.


Estate planning is like Marie Kondo for your future!


And here's the best part: once your estate is in order, you can fully embrace the joys of life without that nagging "I really should get to that" feeling. 


Like most things, the hardest part is simply getting started, but you can schedule your consultation with the click of a button.


So, this spring, let's take a cue from nature and embrace the opportunity for renewal. 


Whether it's planting a garden, cleaning out the garage, or finally tackling that estate plan, let's make this season one of clarity, growth, and organization. 


After all, a well-planned life is a fulfilling one.
