📰 In the news
Special exhibitors and live radio: Spring ideas are on display today at the Montgomery County Home and Outdoor Living Show at Conroe’s Lone Star Convention and Expo Center, with experts, vendors, and a Children’s Market — get all the details.
Late morning at Timbermill: On February 24, a construction worker at the new Conroe ISD high school site was rescued from scaffolding after a medical emergency as crews treated him and lowered him safely — see how crews responded.
Owners tout cleaner crawfish: Texas Crawfish Co. will swap its truck for an FM 1314 storefront by mid-March, serving crawfish, shrimp, snow crab legs, corn and sausage, and offering flexible retail and catering — read the full story.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
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:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Weeknight pho fix: Because some nights demand a steaming bowl and zero dishes, V Bistro delivers rich, clean pho broth, crisp herbs, and banh mi with real crunch. Comfort without the food coma, easy vibes, and reliable flavors… the kind of low-key staple you crave on a Tuesday.
Stash upgrade, anyone? At Quilter’s Quarters, discover over 2,000 bolts, fresh pre-cuts, and a friendly crew that remembers your project. Whether your bobbin drawer needs a lift or inspiration strikes, classes and an open, come-hang-out classroom make it easy to finish something gorgeous this week.
Breakfast with heart: This week, downtown staple Honor Cafe nails all-day breakfast and comfort-food cravings, with walls that double as a living military history lesson. When you want pancakes, a patty melt, and a side of community in one stop, it quietly delivers.
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
