A CHILD’S SWEET I N S P I R AT I O N

COLORFUL AND FUN COLLECTIONS OF CANDIES AND MORE

Brentwood Lifestyle | August 2021

LIKE MOST KIDS, 10-YEAR-OLD HENRY MACLANE LOVES CANDY. Unlike most kids, Henry decided to turn his love of sweets into a business and created the Chocolate Fat Fish Company. “I started this company three years ago when I had an idea,” he says. “I package our mixed candy in clear little cellophane bags and color code it by separating each bag into different colors.” Depending on the order, it usually takes him about a week to prepare 75 to 100 packages. One order alone was for 144 packages! There are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink and purple packages and each one weighs about two ounces. “They’re great birthday party favors and kids love them,” says Henry. When Henry first started his business, he planned to package unwrapped candies such as gummy bears, but was told he needed a license to sell unwrapped candies. At that point, most 10-year-old kids would’ve probably quit. But not Henry.

Henry

“He asked how he could sell in stores and decided to iterate and create a medley of these colorful pre-wrapped candies, package them and rebrand,” says dad Jared MacLane. “And lo and behold, that landed him in stores.” Henry, adds his dad, operates the entire business on his own, from developing the website, designing the logo and packaging, to conceptualizing the product and how it should be displayed in stores. He also initiates the meetings with store owners and conducts the sales meetings. “Henry is a born leader, and has an incredible amount of drive and perseverance,” adds mom Katherine Petty MacLane. “To say I’m proud is an understatement. He has a gift for business. Even at the onset of Chocolate Fat Fish, he would ask for ingredients for a lemonade stand to accompany his candy, calculate his profit and pay me back immediately because he didn’t want to owe anything.” In addition to his website, his colorful packaged candies can be found at Katie’s Hallmark stores in Brentwood and Belle Meade. And candy isn’t the only thing that Chocolate Fat Fish sells. There’s everything from fun T-shirts and towels to tote bags in its online store. Go to ChocolateFatFish.com to shop and find out more about Henry, his candies and other cool merchandise.

DILIGENT ATTORNEY TEAM RELOCATES TO HEART OF BRENTWOOD

"We specialize in family law exclusively, allowing us to provide the best representation for our clients during what's often the most difficult time of their lives.”

DELIVERING ATTENTIVE, PERSONALIZED REPRESENTATION THAT CLIENTS DESERVE IS THE MISSION OF THE FOUR LAWYERS AND TWO LEGAL ASSISTANTS AT DIGBY FAMILY LAW, PLC. From handling uncontested step-parent adoptions to tackling complex family law issues, owner and attorney Sarah Digby says the firm’s team provides diversity of experience, strong legal knowledge, and an unyielding drive for success to each case. Now these professionals are closer than ever for client convenience at their new Brentwood office location: 5123 Virginia Way, Suite C-22. “Our focus is on client-centered representation, emphasizing quality over quantity. In this way, we’re able to dedicate the time really needed for our cases and go all-in to help and protect every client. Additionally, we build real relationships with our clients, allowing them to feel comfortable telling us about anything,” says Sarah. “Our firm is a no-judgement zone, and we pride ourselves in demonstrating utmost candor with our clients.” Sarah says these honest, straightforward working relationships are critical to their team being able to develop the best legal strategies to represent clients. “If we don’t know about something, we can’t advise on it,” she reminds.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CARA CLARK BUILDS A BETTER BODY THROUGH EATING AND LIVING RIGHT

NON-DIETING APPROACH TO HEALTH GOOD NUTRITION IS NOT JUST ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT. It’s also about feeding mind, body and soul. This is main tenet of Cara Clark Nutrition, and it’s this philosophy that has garnered Cara Clark a strong following. A certified sports and clinical nutritionist, Cara specializes in full-body wellness, as well as sustainable lifestyles. Since founding Cara Clark Nutrition in 2009, she has shared her “non-dieting approach” to feeling and looking better. “We don’t proclaim it to be weight loss and our success stories aren’t about what the scale says,” explains Cara. “Instead, it’s about people getting off medication, or those who had chronic illnesses getting better. Success is about a mom who felt so down and out and alone and now has the energy to be present in the moment with her kids.”

While living in Orange County, California, there was no

shortage of celebrities seeking out her expertise. One of

these was Christine Haack of HGTV’s Christina on the Coast and Flip or Flop (which Christina films alongside her ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa).

“We met eight years ago when Tarek was going through thyroid cancer treatment,” says Cara. “Christina reached out to me to help with a meal plan for him that aligned with his treatment protocol. Very quickly she realized she needed some nutritional support as well.” Christina was drained from caring for a sick husband, raising a toddler, and being new to the TV world. Shortly thereafter, they became fast friends, and have maintained a close relationship to this day. In fact, when Cara and her family moved to Franklin last year, Christina was the first to visit and even bought a place nearby to

stay while visiting. (The family’s move from California to Tennessee will be featured in an upcoming episode of Christina on the Coast.) “We became that person we were missing in each other’s lives,” says Cara. “We even had babies at the same time with her Brayden and my Carli Jo and all of our kids are friends.” Photo: Premo Creative CONTINUED >

They also co-authored the book, The Wellness Remodel.

“We really wanted to touch on rewiring because a lot of it is how we think,” says Cara. “If time is the biggest obstacle, you can actually gain time by meal prepping. It’s not actually as hard as you think, but you have to have the energy to apply it. So, we say give us five days, which is when people’s energy starts to change.” Being a wife to Chris, a financial planner, and a mom to four daughters -- Maggie (age 11), Mila (9), Claire (8), and Carli Jo (Jo Jo) (5), Cara knows all about time constraints. Soon after moving into their new home, they also rescued a Pyrenees Australian shepherd mix named Aspen, so they have a full house. Limited time is one of the reasons that Cara now only takes on athletes on an individualized basis. For others, she offers a unique and effective group challenge program. “When my third daughter was due, I had so many people begging me to take them on as clients, so I created a

Cara collaborated with Dr. Kaisa Coppola, a func-

tional medicine doctor, to talk about the main issues she sees in her pediatric patients, and then went on

to provide all the meal plans, recipes and guidance to help with those issues. She says that when many

kids act out, instead of a behavioral problem, it may actually be a nutritional deficiency issue.

Eating first thing in the morning, she says, is key for

both kids and adults, and she gives many grab-and-go ideas, such as rolling up protein and carbs. A great snack or meal can be a combination of nutritious crackers and

cheese, hard-boiled eggs and sliced apples, watermelon

and nuts, and popcorn with nutritional yeast, which adds not only a cheesy flavor but protein and B vitamins as

well. “It’s not about sneaking these foods in, but instead just shifting the experience. This is what I want to teach with The Balanced Kid.”

challenge that would work for everybody, but also take into consideration their personal assessments.” The program has been unbelievably successful, with more than 2,000 participants per season taking part. “We do them seasonally so we can use seasonal foods and recipes not only to inspire people, but to also make sure they are taking in the best nutrients possible.” Adults aren’t the only people she focuses on; she is currently writing a program called “The Balanced Kid,” which she hopes to launch this month. “We already have a Fall Back to Health challenge every summer for parents to get back on track, and a kids’ cookbook, [with recipes approved by her children] so this is an add-on.” Photo: Angelica Marie Photography

WHERE THERAPEUTIC VOLUNTEERISM HAS THANKFULLY 'GONE TO THE DOGS'

MUSIC CITY LOVE ON A LEASH PET OWNER VOLUNTEERS ARE COMMITTED TO INFUSING COMFORT, HAPPINESS AND HEALING TO THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY BY INCREASING PUBLIC AWARENESS OF AND PROVIDING PET THERAPY. This volunteer organization, with national headquarters in California, provides an accessible certification process that allows qualified therapy teams to provide effective pet-provided therapy services in and around Middle Tennessee. The Music City LOAL chapter was established in September 2015, and is comprised of 22 teams – two of which are cats! LOAL-certified therapy pets and their owners visit residents in assisted living homes, VA Murfreesboro, memory care facilities, hospitals, hospice care facilities, schools, libraries, day-care centers, preschools and special education classrooms. More recently, they’ve visited colleges and universities to provide stress relief for students during final exam periods and Mental Health Mondays.

HOMETOWN HERO (CONTINUED)

The organization began during the early 1980s when Liz Palika, an award-winning author and dog obedience instructor, began to introduce the concept of pet-provided therapy to residents of north San Diego County in California. In providing the service, she saw a need for a larger organization to accommodate the growing number of requests she received from assisted living facilities, memory-care facilities, schools and hospitals. Liz officially created Love on a Leash in 1984. The organization was incorporated in 1995 as The Foundation for Pet Provided Therapy as 501(c) (3) charitable organization. With more than 2,300 members throughout the United States, volunteers formed chapters, such as the Music City group. The nonprofit is based on the following premise: A therapy pet’s primary function is to brighten someone’s day. The majority of LOAL members are involved in this social side of therapy work. Therapy pets and their handlers visit destinations to provide emotional support.

Brentwood Lifestyle | August 2021

During August, Music City LOAL teams currently are scheduled for visits to: + Harmony at Brentwood + Hickory Gardens Senior Living + Clarendale at Bellevue + Centennial Heart at Skyline Therapy pets are privately owned and typically visit facilities on a regular basis. All Love on a Leash members are volunteers. For the most part, the group’s therapy pets are dogs; however they also certify cats and rabbits who have shown they like people and have the proper temperament. No breed restrictions apply, with the exception of wolf hybrids. All pets must be at least one year old with basic obedience knowledge to be considered. Once certified, the team (whether your pet is a dog, cat or rabbit) is covered by a general liability insurance policy while providing therapy visits. All Music City LOAL dogs are eligible to earn AKC Therapy Dog titles, including purebreds and mixed breeds. To earn an AKC Therapy Dog title, dogs must be registered or listed with AKC and have a number. Music City LOAL was nominated for a Hands On Nashville Volunteer Award during 2016. In Spring 2017, they were awarded Hall of Fame winner for their work at Signature Healthcare in Madison, Tennessee. They also became the first LOAL chapter nationally to receive a significant monetary donation from a generous Nashville family foundation. The local chapter leader is Rebecca Pyle, whose teammates are Connelly and Nora, the only feline volunteers at this time although a new feline team has just begun their training to join LOAL. “Connelly loves going on visits with all of the dogs. Residents and patrons love hearing him talk to people and walk on a leash down the halls hugging the walls. He likes cuddling up next to people in bed or in a warm lap. And Nora loves people, especially kids and is very adventurous and sassy,” she says. For more details, email info@loveonaleash. org or call 760.740.2326. MusicCityLOAL.org

Our smiles are found on the faces of some of the most high-profile people in the world — movie stars, music celebrities, professional athletes, and models... ...but you don’t have to be famous to enjoy the benefits that a beautiful, natural-looking smile can bring!

Come see why people from all walks of life choose us to enhance their smile Dr. Wells and his staff welcomed me with open arms from the very beginning. I shared my insecurities within my smile, and Dr. Wells worked tediously to help perfect my smile. I appreciate the time and energy spent to create the confident smile that I had longed for. The care and patience that I received were top notch. Because of Dr. Wells I was able to smile brightly and confidently for all to see as I graced the Miss USA stage. Thank you, Dr. Wells for taking the time to give me the most natural looking beautiful smile.

TRENDS IS THE ADDITION OF DOG SHOWERS AND PET WASHING STATIONS IN THE HOME. That’s right, your dog now can enjoy their very own dog shower from the comfort of the place they love the most – home.

Brentwood Lifestyle | August 2021

PET WASHING STATION Build a pet washing station that’s equipped with everything needed: An area for your dog to sit or stand, an accessible shower head or steps for easy access by your furry loved one. Whether your dog is large or small, they can go up and down the steps and sit in the station so you don’t have to arch your back to reach them. Most pet washing stations resemble smaller, elevated showers. Your dog can enjoy sitting under the warm showers while you have confidence in the easy and clean draining systems. If your dog happens to be one to dislike water, help them feel comfortable by sitting or standing in the shower with them while they’re washed. They’ll soon feel relaxed and calm, and they may even learn to love their bath time. A variety of pet bathtub options can be installed indoors, outdoors, in bathrooms or kitchens. Take a look at some of the options to see what might work best for you. DOG SHOWER SPRAYER A specific type of dog shower head you can invest in is the pet shower sprayer, which hooks up directly to your shower. This is an efficient and affordable alternative to building a brand new pet shower altogether. Most dog shower sprayers come with an attachment that allows for the easy adjusting of pressure and temperature. They can

OUTDOOR DOG SHOWER Want to wash your dog outside? You can install an outdoor dog shower on the side of your house, or somewhere in the backyard. It’s recommended to install one that can hook up with your water system so you can turn it off and on just like a hose. Dog showers come in lots of shapes and sizes, and typically resemble stalls for your dog to stand while the water comes out on top of them. A long nozzle and hose are required so you can reach all angles of your dog to ensure they are getting the best wash. The stations are very easy to clean as well, as a draining system will likely be put in alongside the installation of your outdoor dog shower. GIVE YOUR DOG THE LIFE OF LUXURY THAT THEY DESERVE! It can be fun to take your pet on a trip to the groomer every once in a while. There might even be a professional service company that you pay for with dog washing stations. But what do you do when you want to wash your dog on a more regular basis, and you don’t have the funds to pull it off? That’s where at-home dog baths come in. Dog showers, dog washing stations and pet tubs can be great investments that add a lot of value and dynamism to homes. If you have a large-sized dog, you know better than anyone the struggles that often come with trying to give them a bath. Investing in a built-in washing option that specializes in washing your furry friend can save you time, trouble and money. Your pet is an extension of your family, and it will feel nice to treat them the way they deserve. Plus, dog showers are an exciting new trend in home renovations that can yield great returns on the investment.
