Hello Logan! Hope your coffee’s especially good this morning.

In today’s bring-the-kiddos edition: Library future uncertain, an off-grid cabin with a sauna, and queen bee science night + excuses to get the fam out and about this week.

Heads up for pet parents: An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.*

📰 In the news

Local leaders weigh next steps: After its first meeting, Cache County’s new Library Board left Cache County Library’s future unclear. Options include closing at the end of July, staying county-run, or shifting to city control — see what’s being considered.

A market under strain: Logan didn’t make the list of the 98 most expensive U.S. home markets. A recent study placed Provo in the top five, with prices outpacing incomes and squeezing young families — see why this market’s unusual.

Sun smart, fire ready design: An off grid cabin on a 5 plus acre site near Logan by CAST architecture features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sauna, powered by solar array with backup generator — see how the design works.

Gold just hit record highs. What about your savings? While traditional IRAs have been treading water against inflation, gold has gained over 50% in three years. That gap is why more retirees are rolling a portion of their savings into gold IRAs (the kind that hold physical metal). We compared the top five options and broke down who they’re best for.

Paying hundreds of dollars a month for car insurance? Switching providers could save you up to $600 a year, and shopping around is way faster than it used to be – free comparison tools like this one make it easy.*

Highlights this week:

• Celebrate Cache Valley’s outstanding achievers
• Join Aikido seminar with Nimz Sensei
• Catch Spring Break film fest
• Unlock clinical-level wellness data from home*

💎 Local business spotlight

Tea mood upgrade: When the afternoon slump hits, Wonder Tea & Sweet answers with customizable milk and fruit teas, brewed with quality ingredients, plus sweet treats for backup. Cozy vibe, friendly crew, and a menu deep enough to keep your weekly rotation interesting without overthinking what to sip next.

Your midweek culture fix: Whether you’re into touring concerts, local choirs, or musical theater that plants earworms, Ellen Eccles Theatre keeps Logan’s arts heartbeat steady. Need a midweek plan? Pick a performance and let the stage lights set the mood… a quick lift for your calendar and your senses.

Art + music fix: Equal parts gallery and neighborhood hangout, The Logan Gallery keeps things lively with rotating local art, intimate shows, and classes that wake up your creativity. When your walls feel bored, you’ll likely find a piece here that quietly insists on coming home, without the hard sell.

These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back

Makeup that actually works: My sister and I were talking the other day about how the makeup we used in our 20s… just doesn’t work now that we’re in our 30s and 40s. Laura Geller’s entire makeup line addresses this shift, with formulas that smooth, brighten, and actually stay put. If you’re in the same boat, *their curated kits are worth a look →

Own a piece of Apple for less than a coffee: Every time you buy something from Amazon or Starbucks, you’re putting money in their pocket. Fractional shares flip that: you can own a slice of those companies for as little as a dollar. Most investing apps make it incredibly easy, with zero commissions and no account minimums. See which ones we recommend →

Mom says she’s fine. You’re not so sure: “What if something happens when you’re home alone?” You’ve asked a hundred times, but the outcome’s always the same. I don’t need that. Life Alert’s for old people. The real struggle isn’t finding a medical alert system that’ll work… it’s finding one she won’t fight you on. We looked into five options designed to settle the standoff, from smartwatches to systems with nothing to wear at all. See which ones stood out →

Thinning hair? Your shampoo was never going to fix it: I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of money on hair-loss products, biotin, masks, sprays, you name it. Not one of them lasted. Turns out, most things target the strand, not the follicle (where thinning actually happens). Dermatologists have been prescribing treatments that work for years, but there are now plenty of options available with no office visits required. See our top picks for men and women →

Strangers can buy your personal data for $0.50: Data brokers sell your name, home address, phone number, estimated income, and other personal info to anyone willing to pay. Scammers and identity thieves use these databases to take advantage of you. There are dozens of affordable services that can help you protect yourself. These three are our favorites →
