Hello Lewisville Lake! Hope your coffee tastes especially good this morning. In today’s bring-the-kiddos edition: Dragon boat festival, National Treasure escape room, and global jewelry debut + excuses to get the fam out and about this week.
Your insurance won't cover a $12,000 HVAC bill: If your furnace quits before it warms up, your homeowners insurance will tell you it's a "maintenance issue" and wish you luck. Insurance covers sudden disasters. It doesn't cover the systems that wear out over time, and those are the expensive ones. A home warranty is built for exactly this. HVAC, water heater, appliances, plumbing, electrical... all covered for less than $1/day with no age restrictions on what's covered. You call, they send a tech, you pay a service fee. They handle the rest. This one's 50% off right now.* |
01 — Worth knowing In the newsThree local stories this week, plus a few worth your money.
Local business roundup: Biz Buzz reports Yellow Brick Road Storage opened in Argyle, Excite! Event Center moved to Highland Village, and Common Lands debuted in Flower Mound, plus new dining spots -- read the full updates.
Global style meets Frisco: Frisco welcomed PMJ Jewels, one of India’s most established jewelry brands, opening its first DFW showroom and drawing community buzz, luxe designs, and flair a short drive from Lewisville Lake -- see the jewelry debut.
Boost for the roster: UNT women's golf signed All-American transfer Lucy Smith on Monday. The Prosper native helped UT Tyler reach its first NCAA DII Championship, where she earned LSC Freshman of the Year -- meet the new transfer.
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.*
The bill all retirees should double check: Car insurance. If you’ve been on the same plan for years, you might be paying way more than you need to. It’s an easy one to forget about, but switching could save you up to $600 this year. Case in point: I shopped around and ended up cutting my premium in half -- this free comparison tool makes it easy.*

03 — On our radar
Local business spotlightNearby spots we'd actually send a friend to.
Local energy-burn alert: Memorial Park nails the weekend combo with a solid playground, open play space, a sand volleyball court, and a shady walking trail, with Thrive on-site if you want an indoor pool, track, or gym. Easy spot to tire out kids, clear your head, and picnic without fuss.
Make something leafy: Plant & Sip turns a night out around Lewisville Lake into a no-stress plant workshop, from terrariums and moss walls to Plantastic Bingo. They provide all the supplies, you sip and create, then go home with something cute and alive, which is more than we can say for last week’s basil.
Game night upgrade: Village Arcade + Bar is the kind of Castle Hills hang where your group can bounce between classic arcade games, a 12 foot Nintendo Switch, darts, 14' shuffleboard, pool, and an F1 simulator, then settle in front of 100-inch TVs for whatever game you actually came to watch.

04 — Our recommendations
We got your backA handful of products and services we think are worth a look.
Makeup for skin that's changed, now up to 65% off: Laura Geller has built its following on formulas made for mature skin, led by the baked foundations women over 40 keep coming back to. Right now, new email subscribers get up to 65% off plus an extra 22%. Enter your email on the page and the discount activates. *See the VIP pricing →
Home insurance premiums jumped 12% last year alone: That's on top of years of increases that have outpaced inflation. Before you blindly renew with your current insurer, a free comparison tool matches your home with top-rated insurers so you can see quotes side by side, in about two minutes. Some homeowners find hundreds in savings, and if you don't find a better policy, you stay put knowing you checked. *See your options →
Buy one window treatment this summer, get the second 50% off: “My fourth order over 8 years. Product reliability, consistency to values & warranty kept me returning!” See what keeps customers coming back to 3 Day Blinds. Book your free consultation and enjoy summer savings on blinds, shades, and drapery. *Claim your summer savings →
Carrying $5,000 or more on your cards? Stop the interest charges: A balance that size racks up interest fast, and at today's rates it barely budges no matter how much you pay. This card gives you 0% intro APR until 2028 on balance transfers (made in the first 60 days), with a $0 annual fee. That means almost two years to pay down what you owe with no interest charges. *See if it's a fit →
Wish you had someone to talk to right now? The quiet hours are the hardest, especially when you just want someone to talk to. That's exactly what this is built for: real conversations, real matches, real people. Not endless swiping, but actual chats with singles who want to connect as much as you do. Someone to talk to could be a message away. *Join now and start chatting → |

06 — From our sponsor Heads up for pet parentsTogether with our sponsor Lemonade. 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 Pet Insurance. It was too late for me, but you could save thousands on your next vet bill with *Lemonade. |
