Daffodil, Iris and Hyacinth bulbs are whispering "plant me!" But it is too soon! Now is the time to clean up the last of my Summer vegetable garden and start

Jimbo's opened in 1993 and Dago Rodriguez became the sole proprietor in 2005. If you go during lunch hours, they feature a yummy lunch buffet for an amazing price. Another great thing about Jimbo's is their community involvement. They offer a reward program at the elementary schools to encourage the kids to exce

April is National Volunteer Month

Volunteerism is close to my heart. I met my husband volunteering. While, I don’t have too much time in my schedule, I try to volunteer with my children every so often. Recently we volunteered at Grace Bridge Resale Shop in downtown Celina. In case you are new to town or not familiar with Gracebridge, it’s a place where a struggling family can obtain essential items like food or eye glasses. These items are distributed every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. Next door t
