I had a total meltdown and created an awkward situation for my family, who were no doubt as embarrassed of me as I am of myself in my adult years.

When we first heard about Lindy, a severely abused dog rescued from a Lindale, Texas "home," we weren't sure she was going to make it. And look at her now...

It's the Christmas shopping season. And Tylerites shared some of their very favorite places to shop for stylish clothes they love--but without breaking the bank.

Hurry and schedule ASAP! And despite having lived here so long, I realized I didn't know very many options for hosting holiday shindigs. This was helpful.

Do you think people "just don't wanna work?" Is that what's to blame for the labor shortages at many of our East Texas businesses?

The case of this missing Texas student has reached a point of major conflict. Also--Jason's father, Pastor Kent Landry speaks out.

As if East Texans needed one more excuse to eat at Whataburger, right? But, here's a BIG one.

Especially after last year, spending time with loved ones is HIGH on our list of Christmas priorities. "Presence" will mean more than any new gadget ever will.

So, yeah--we need some practical things, too. However, if you really want to delight someone you love--get them something FUN!

I adore holiday food. At the same time, after several days of embracing a hedonistic approach to food enjoyment, you start to feel the effects in various ways.

During the holidays, traffic is even more dangerous. And Thanksgiving week is one of the most alcohol-fueled weeks of the year.

Perhaps it's a form of "able-bodied privilege." But some people just don't seem to think about what others may be going through.
