Happy Thursday y'all – we're headed to our next town in our City Spotlight series. Let's talk about Leander, Texas – a hidden gem located in Williamson County, just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Austin. Now, if you're thinking, "Leander who?" you're in for a treat.

Hey there friends! Winter is coming. No, I'm not talking about the next season of Game of Thrones; I'm talking about that chilly season that turns us into homebodies faster than you can say "pumpkin spice latte."
Now, I know we're in Texas, where winter is more like "winter" (air quotes intended). Still, a Texas winter is not something to be taken lightly, especially when it comes to your home. Just like you wouldn't go out in shorts and a tank top, your home also needs to gear up for those "frigid" 50-degree nights. So, lets lace up those boots and get those home ready for winter!

Every home in Williamson and Travis County, whether a quaint bungalow or a majestic mansion, deserves a touch of holiday charm. Picture autumn wreaths with shades of amber and rustic browns. Decorate your front porch with some hay bales, a few pumpkins, scatter some mums or if you're feeling extra playful, a pair of old cowboy boots turned into vases filled with autumn foliage.

The dining table isn't...

Cedar Park is booming! And no, I'm not just talking about the Friday night fireworks. According to the U.S. Census Bureau the population is 77,642 and counting, Cedar Park has experienced impressive growth in the last decade. But don't fret; this place still...
