Hello Henderson! Hope your coffee tastes especially good this morning.
In today’s bring-the-kiddos edition: Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone, gold and silver are hot, and Bark in the Park + 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
Teens gain workplace confidence: At Goodwill’s Raiders Way store in Henderson, a program helps students, including Coronado High School’s autism class, build job skills through supervised tasks, with schools in Clark and Nye counties — see what’s behind the program.
Trusted electricians broaden reach: Ampere Electric has expanded in Henderson with a second location at 405 Max Ct, offering 24/7 emergency and residential service. Homeowners can access lighting installations, panel upgrades, and urgent troubleshooting — get all the details.
New chapter for community hub: North Las Vegas will take over SkyView Multigenerational Center after the YMCA contract ends March 31, with reopening plans pending and programs such as summer camps and swim classes continuing — see what’s planned for SkyView.
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.

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
In double guard-gated Macdonald Highlands, this 13,164-square-foot home delivers 6 bedrooms including dual primary suites, 10 baths, and a 12-car subterranean garage. On the 9th hole at Dragon Ridge Golf Course, it adds a 3,000-square-foot rooftop deck offering 360-degree views of McCullough Mountains and Strip. Elevator access, a detached casita, and a gym with wet sauna complete a resort vibe.
