📰 In the news
Extending healing beyond hospital walls: Saint Francis Health System introduced Saint Francis at Home, bringing hospital-level treatment to eligible Tulsa patients. The program adds care options without replacing inpatient stays, using hospital-grade standards — see how the program works.
A legacy behind the plate: Tulsa’s Lacy Park is restoring its 100-year-old baseball backstop after March straight-line winds. Games moved to Reed Park last season, and a city review says reinstalling it can proceed safely — get restoration and history details.

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.
Someone Googled you this week: Whether you’re dating again, selling something locally, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up. Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.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 all that up – learn more here.

🚗 Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance?
Together with our sponsor Money.com
Auto insurance premiums have been climbing across the country… and most folks won’t notice until it’s time to renew and they’re hit with a higher bill.
The frustrating part? Loyalty rarely gets rewarded. Insurers adjust prices constantly, and new customers often qualify for better rates than long-time policyholders.
I learned that the hard way. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, I saw the charges come in every month and never thought twice about them. Turns out I was paying well above the national average ($175/mo) for a single car… for years.
This free comparison tool lets you check rates from multiple insurers in just a few minutes. It costs nothing to look, and it could save you hundreds this year.

🫶 We got your back
Snap some hometown pride: Make the Tulsa Postcard Mural a stop on your next downtown stroll. Its big, bright letters hide Tulsa icons and a few cheeky Easter eggs, delivering a quick mood lift and an easy backdrop for catching up, snapping pics, or just soaking in the skyline.
Fiber fix, stat: Tulsa crafters, when your stash needs a refresh or a WIP needs a nudge, Get Stitchin’offers squishy yarns, friendly guidance, and classes in knitting, crochet, spinning, and weaving to make finishing feel doable; local makers’ goods round out the shelves.
Sip something local: In a welcoming taproom, Heirloom Rustic Ales pours small-batch beers made for lingering conversations, refreshing, simple, and easy to love. Think midweek unwind that feels earned, with approachable styles that make doing the week right taste even better.
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.

Something in your house is about to break 🏠
It might be your AC, your water heater, your fridge… doesn’t matter. Every major system and appliance has an expiration date, and when it goes, you’re staring down a repair bill that can climb into the thousands fast.
It never happens at a convenient time, and most homeowners just eat the cost because they don’t realize there’s a better option.
American Home Shield covers repairs and replacements on most of your home’s major systems and appliances — old or new, no inspection required.
The best part? Select plans are 50% off now through March 9th.
