How to Talk to Your Family About Money
(StatePoint) Money management is not only a logistical challenge for many families, it can be an emotional one too, especially when it comes to transferring wealth from one generation to the next. Open, honest conversations about your financial values and intentions can cut through some of the stress, and help family members avoid resentment, confusion and even legal strife down the line.
“With American Boomers poised to transfer an estimated $68-$124 trillion dollars to their Gen X, Millennial and Gen Z heirs by 2048, the time to have the conversation with your family about money and inheritance is right now,” says Heather Hunt-Ruddy, divisional leader, Wealth & Investment Management at Wells Fargo. “It starts with letting go of the notion that money is a topic to avoid.”
Hunt-Ruddy offers these tips to facilitate productive communication in your family:
Don’t wait to plan: Don’t postpone key decisions about your health, caregiving and estate until there is a crisis. Pressure can cloud judgment and lead to snap decisions. Worse still, a sudden illness or accident may leave you unable to speak for yourself. Get your house in order now – drawing up or updating an estate plan and other legal documents, selecting a power of attorney, and developing an advantageous strategy for wealth transfer – so that your wishes can be carried out as intended.
Don’t wait to share: Emergencies are also not the best time to share important decisions about your estate with your family. Begin the conversation intentionally and calmly.
Keep it up: Once the ice is broken, get into a rhythm of recurring financial conversations where you discuss goal-setting, review milestones and go over any updates or changes to your plans. It’s helpful to know in advance what topics you’d like to cover and who you’d like to be present for each conversation.
values are shared.
Prepare the next generation: Many younger adults lack financial know-how. To empower the next generation to manage the inheritance you leave them, as well as navigate their own finances, consider introducing them to the team that helped create your estate planning strategy, such as your attorney, financial advisor and CPA. It’s also helpful to recognize that their needs and preferences may differ from yours. For example, younger individuals may prefer holistic financial advice delivered digitally. Ultimately, you’ll want to ensure your children or other beneficiaries have both basic financial experience and are set up with a team they trust.
More insights on generational wealth and other financial topics can be found by visiting wellsfargoadvisors.com.
“To honor the values, hard work and hopes for the future that your wealth represents, don’t give the matter short shrift. Balance the art and science of preserving generational wealth not only with a smart financial strategy, but by inviting the next generation into the conversation early and often,” says Hunt-Ruddy.

Now is the Time to Give Your Mower a Tune-Up
(StatePoint) As the weather starts to turn in early spring, giving your mower a tune-up is a must for performance, safety and efficiency.
“Before the spring season truly kicks off, take stock of your mower’s maintenance needs. Paying a bit of attention to your machine now will set you up for a smooth and easy cutting season, and extend the life of your mower,” says Exmark marketing manager, Lenny Mangnall.
In addition to consulting your owner’s manual to determine tasks specific to your model, you can also follow this checklist from Exmark to make sure your mower is in top shape:
1. Change the oil. A healthy engine is a happy engine.
2. Sharpen or replace blades. Fresh blades cut faster, smoother and cleaner.
3. Give the mower a deep clean. Use a putty knife to remove caked grass from under the deck.
4. Replace old fuel. Never use fuel left
in the tank from the last season.
5. Check on the tires. Low tire pressure is a performance issue and a safety hazard.
6. Inspect engine belts. Check belt tension and wear to help your engine perform at its best.
7. Replace spark plugs. Fresh spark plugs help your mower start and run smoothly.
For additional details and instructions on each item on this checklist, read the full article “Is Your Lawn Mower Ready for Spring?” The article can be found at Exmark’s Backyard Life, a unique multimedia destination focused on helping homeowners improve their outdoor living spaces. There you can find more articles, DIY project ideas, and view Exmark Original Series videos on topics ranging from lawn and grass care to gardening, landscaping and even fishing and barbecuing.
Work smarter, not harder in your yard. Give your mower a little love at the start of the season to help ensure you get reliable performance all spring and summer.
Make Spring Even Sweeter With a Show-Stopping Dessert
(StatePoint) Looking for simple ways to elevate your spring celebrations? This spring, home bakers are embracing bright colors, playful details and easy upgrades that turn classic treats into eye-catching centerpieces.
From pastel cupcakes and fruit-filled tarts to brunch-worthy pastries, festive finishing touches can instantly elevate your spread. The best part? With a few smart shortcuts and decorative flourishes, busy families can create desserts that look bakery-level beautiful—without spending all day in the kitchen.
One simple way to bring personality to seasonal treats is by incorporating PEEPS Marshmallow into your baking. Their signature Chick and Bunny shapes and cheerful hues make them a natural fit for everything from cupcakes and brownies to pastry creations and dessert boards. Just one or two on top can transform an everyday treat into a celebration-ready showpiece.
“Whether you’re hosting brunch or bringing dessert to share with friends and family, PEEPS can help tie your baking into the spring season,” says Caitlin Servian, brand manager at PEEPS. “Our classic Chicks and Bunnies add a playful finishing touch that instantly makes spring desserts feel special and unmistakably festive.”
Spring entertaining doesn’t have to be complicated to feel memorable. By incorporating ingredients that reflect the flavors of the season, you can create desserts that spark smiles the moment they hit the table. To help inspire your celebrations, baking and hosting influencer Sheri Wilson is sharing her PEEPS Puff Pastry Baskets recipe featuring PEEPS POP-TARTS Frosted Strawberry Flavored Marshmallow Chicks. Created in collaboration with POP-TARTS, the Frosted Strawberry flavor adds a sweet and fruity twist that pairs perfectly with fresh berries and whipped cream, making it an ideal treat that delivers both convenience and wow-factor for any spring gathering!

Ingredients:

onto a lined baking sheet.
2. Cut out the centers of the remaining pastry rounds with a slightly smaller cutter.
3. Brush the larger rounds with egg wash, then place a pastry ring on top of each one. Brush again with egg wash. Top with a second pastry ring and brush again with egg wash. Poke the bottoms with a fork to prevent it from bubbling up while baking.
halved strawberries, and a royal icing flower. To complete each basket, gently press the pastry handles into the whipped cream.
4. To make the basket handles, slice 1/2-inch strips of pastry, then twist into a rope. Place onto a baking sheet in a half-moon shape and brush with egg wash. Bake for about 10 minutes at 400-420 degrees F or until puffed up and golden brown.
5. Once baked and cooled, press the middles of each pastry basket down with a spoon. Fill with sliced strawberries and whipped cream.
6. Top each one with a PEEPS POP-TARTS Frosted Strawberry Flavored Marshmallow Chick,
