Hello Coral Springs! Hope your coffee tastes especially good this morning.
In today’s bring-the-kiddos edition: Blarney Bash, Walk on Wednesday concert series, and Saint Andrew Carnival + excuses to get the fam out and about this week.
Today’s sponsor, Spot Pet Insurance, is something I wish I had before a late-night emergency vet visit left me with a $10,000 credit card bill. It’s cheaper than Netflix… and means you never have to choose between your pet and your savings. It takes less than 5 minutes to sign up – get started here.

📰 In the news
Open-air evenings for everyone: Free Walk on Wednesday concerts are underway at The Walk, with music from 6 to 8 p.m. today. Shows run Wednesday through April 29. Grab dinner at The Walk restaurants — get all the event details.
Celtic fun takes center stage: Blarney Bash returns to Coral Springs on March 6 with The Byrne Brothers, Drake Irish Dance, green beer, and contests, plus free admission and parking at the City Hall garage — get all the event details.
Safeguard against identity theft: Coral Springs Police will host a free Shred-A-Thon this Saturday, March 7. Residents can bring up to three boxes per vehicle, with $5 per extra box, documents only — learn what to bring.
Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why they’re back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🐾 One pet emergency can cost $10,000+
Together with our sponsor Spot Pet Insurance
Nothing prepares you for a late-night emergency at the vet. I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache.
From the initial exam fee just to be seen, to x-rays, surgery, medication, and follow-up visits… the bill racks up fast (to say the least). And at that moment? You’re not thinking about your savings, you’re just saying yes to whatever keeps them thriving.
As soon as we got home, I dug around online and ultimately signed up for Spot.
It’s super affordable and reimburses up to 90% on qualified vet bills. It was too late for me, but it’s not too late for you. Sign up today.

🫶 We got your back
Tapas night, sorted: Because sometimes dinner begs for a choose-your-own-adventure, Patio Flamenco serves Spanish small plates that are truly shareable, from pork belly to solomillo montaditos, plus sangria that slips down easy. Grab a neighbor, settle in, and linger like you planned it all week.
Gear up, go underwater: Foggy mask? Low tanks? No Shenanigans Diving stocks gear, fills, and rentals, plus straightforward advice for easy-breathing dives. They also lead training and local trips around Broward, so you can sharpen skills close to home and keep the adventure going.
Lights, recline, action: Paragon Coral Square mixes Lux Box dine-in seats with table service and Axis15 Extreme screens boasting Dolby Atmos and 4K laser projection, turning Tuesdays into premieres. Bring a friend, sink into a recliner, and let the snacks find you.
Access cash without selling your home: A reverse mortgage can help anyone over 62 cover everyday expenses, support healthcare needs, fund home improvements, or even reduce pressure on 401(k) withdrawals – all while staying in your home. Longbridge offers a free calculator to estimate how much flexibility your home could provide, with no commitment required.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
This house is wild
This 5-bed, 3.5-bath in prestigious Isles East sits on a quiet cul-de-sac within a 24-hour manned gate. A three-way split layout pairs high-impact windows, soaring vaults, custom LED lighting, and integrated Sonos audio with an EV charger. The primary suite shines with a spa-renovated bath and dual walk-ins. Outside, a fenced resort yard features a heated waterfall pool.
