Team OC is an amazing, 45,000 square foot, state-of-the-art gymnastics facility in Costa Mesa offering lots of fun programs for kids of all ages, including Mommy & Me classes for kids as young as 12 months. With a wide variety of classes offering gymnastics, dance, cheer, tumbling, trampoline and studio classes, Team OC has something for just about anyone!

Emma and I used to take the Busy Bee class last year (ages 20 – 30 months) and she LOVED it. Our favorite part was the huge trampoline runway into a huge pool of foam blocks.

This guest blog was written by Peter from South County Law Group. Peter helped us with our estate planning awhile back. We loved working with him – click here to read about our experience.

As part of his estate planning process, he records an interview where parents get to talk about their beliefs, values and how they would like their children raised for the guardians named.

Here are some of his thoughts on the importance of preserving your life stories:
