đź“° In the news
New chapter taking shape: On Feb. 24, On Broadway’s State of the Broadway District at Gather highlighted big plans, a delayed Public Market, and Leicht Memorial Park upgrades starting this spring, plus grant support — get all the project updates.
Nationwide grocery safety alert: Green Bay shoppers should know Aldi frozen meatballs were recalled last week for possible metal contamination. More than 9,000 pounds are affected, and no injuries have been reported — get all the details.
Riverfront redevelopment at crossroads: Green Bay has given Merge Urban Development until March 5 to deliver a realistic timeline for the stalled Shipyard project, including a 238-unit build, as officials weigh a third amendment — see the proposed milestones.
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
Twirl-worthy pasta night: If your week needs a little Italy, Angelina is serving bucatini all’amatriciana, spaghetti carbonara, and homemade beef-veal-sausage meatballs, with a cozy vibe that invites lingering. Slip into a midweek mood, twirl, sip, and pretend the inbox can wait.
Vintage with good vibes: Sunrise on Main Boutique blends curated designer pieces with true vintage gems, letting you score one-of-a-kind style while doing good, since sales support Reset.Life’s programs for local women. It’s the kind of neighborhood browse that flips “just looking” into your next favorite outfit.
Three-minute cold reboot: Western Racquet & Fitness Club offers whole-body cryotherapy in a quick cryosauna that chills soreness, calms inflammation, and clears mental cobwebs. A midweek pick-me-up, whether post-lift, post-run, or post-Zoom, when your legs or brain feel cooked and you want a fast reset.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week đź‘€
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.
