📰 In the news
Vetted picks parents will love: Planning summer in Fulshear and Cypress? The new 2026 camps guide is out, highlighting sports, mad science labs, coding, outdoor farm fun, and community leagues to keep kids active — see the full camp guide.
Kindness sparks community giving: In February, a Katy stranger bought a 13-year-old Girl Scout’s remaining cookies and had her share them at a nearby restaurant. Local companies later added 50 boxes for police — read the full story.
Expansive Bridgeland development: Plans were unveiled for the Toro District, the Houston Texans’ future headquarters near Katy, expected to create over 17,000 jobs, with county taxpayers funding infrastructure through a public-private deal — explore the plans and impact.
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:

💎 Local business spotlight
DIY night, solved: When the creative itch hits, The Rustic Brush – Katy hosts relaxed, instructor-led workshops where you stain, stencil, and paint custom home decor with friends or solo. No art degree required. Leave with a piece you’ll actually hang and a bit of sawdust-fueled pride.
Backyard glow‑up time: Houston Deck & Fence designs and builds custom decks, pergolas, and smart outdoor add‑ons that make your yard truly livable. Local crew, clean installs, and solid materials… a quick route to more sunrise coffee and fewer “we should fix this patio” talks.
Craving Gulf flavors? Skip the what’s-for-dinner spiral and let Pier 36 Seafood Restaurant & Oyster Bar handle dinner with fresh oysters, rich gumbo, and grilled or blackened favorites. A relaxed, reliably delicious Fulshear standby, it’s perfect for easy weeknights or catching up over something buttery, lemony, and satisfying.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
