Photo by Elena Mozhvilo on Unsplash Maintenance For Your Vehicles This February   It’s February, which means love is in the air! Whether you're helping your little ones prepare cards for their classroom or making a reservation for two, Valentine’s Day can be such a fun holiday. It can be a day to appreciate everyone around us and show a little love to those who need it…and your vehicle.     Your car is the one that rushes you to the store just in time to get pink glitter for your kiddo's Valentine's box, helps you arrive right on time for your date, and keeps you safe year-round.

Photo by Emilia Morariu on Unsplash   Getting the Most Out of The Least Laymen say efficiency is about getting the most result out of the least cost. We’d rather be anywhere than pumping gas at a filling station when it’s cold out. We certainly don’t want to pump gas in bitter-cold weather longer or spend more of our hard-earned money.    But the weather does what it does, and all we can do is offer our best in return. Even if that result can’t be better than most, we need it to be as good as it can be to protect our finances and to have a sense of mastery over how the cold affects our vehicle and the efficiency of our drive. What Can I Do To Improve My Car’s Fuel Efficiency Durin ... read more

We just want to make sure she has the tools she needs to do well. With this new step f ... read more

As Independence day rolls in and families in the Aurora community celebrate with food, fireworks, and good company, July marks a significant moment for Aurora, Colorado. Shortly after midnight on July 20th, 2012, life changed forever for our city. A killer struck at the Midnight premiere of the third Batman film by Christopher Nolan, “The Dark Knight Rises.” In mere minutes, this lone killer’s evil act cut short the lives of 13 people, left scars for many survivors, as well as countless emotional scars on those attending and those witnessing the aftermath.  Shock and disbelief followed this cowardly attack. There were no motives beyond a person’s desire to commit a heinous murder. How could anyone do such a thing in our town? “This isn’t what Aurora is like... this isn’t who we are,” some said.    When the numbness left us, anger settled in. There was an element of insult to the crime that someone could perpetrate mass m ... read more
