Confession: Even a baker sometimes needs to step away from the oven… and today, I finally remembered to do just that! 😂 Took a lil’ lunch escape with my friend Rose to bodegamcallen one of my absolute favorite local spots. 🌿 If you know, you know cozy vibes, killer dishes, and that feeling like you’re part of the neighborhood family. Rose had only been a couple times, so getting to share this gem with her? Chef’s kiss. (P.S. Yes, we ordered all my go-tos… no regrets.) Shouting this from the bakery rooftops: Supporting local isn’t just a trend—it’s what keeps our community (and our bellies) full. ❤️ Where’s your go-to spot when you sneak away for a bite? P.S. Don’t worry—I’m back to baking now. But this was a delicious reminder to pause, savor, and share the love. 🥖🍽️

It is with heavy hearts that we come together as a community to mourn the loss of Sabrina Walker-Hernandez. We extend our deepest condolences to the Walker-Hernandez family during this time. We have lost a beautiful soul who was always eager to give back to the community. Sabrina was passionate about helping others grow and strongly believed in the potential of every individual. As a community leader, she was admired and cherished by many, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. But beyond her role, her presence alone would light up any room, as she was the kind of person who needed no introduction. We are profoundly grateful to have had such a guiding light among us, and we hope her spirit and legacy continue to inspire all the lives she touched. With heartfelt condolences, Your friends at the McAllen Chamber of Commerce

Hey Bookworms! A few years ago, a thoughtful friend and fellow book lover, @momma_doc_reads , gifted our bookstore with a mini library. A bus stop in front of our store runs daily, and I notice families with children waiting on the sidewalk. What catches my attention, though, are children with wandering eyes examining our windows, eager to enter and although I have welcomed them in, sometimes they don’t. Which means we have decided on the perfect spot to set up our mini free library! Come celebrate with us this Saturday June 12th from 12:00-6:00 PM. 🎉 If you wish to donate children’s books periodically to replenish our library or drop them off in our store thank you in advance!

I’m thrilled to announce that Andrea has been selected as Myth’s Employee of the Month for June! Andrea is Myth’s assistant manager and consistently leads by example with her passion for the TCG community, and her contributions for organizing events — whether big or small — make a real difference every day. Her kind and positive attitude has attracted players for different TCG’s and she’s helped us grow our communities. It’s clear that she takes pride in her work here at Myth, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do. We’re grateful to have someone like you on the team! Andrea would like to share a quote from FMAB “There’s no such thing as a painless lesson, they just don’t exist. Sacrifices are necessary; you can’t gain anything without losing something first. Although, if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you’ll find that you know have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle.” Thank you, Andrea, for your hard work and for being such an integral part of our success.

Hey Bookworms! Come meet Anamely Salgado one of our local authors from the RGV. “Paperbacks of My Mother Cursed My Name are out. Thank you to everyone who has read this novel or even just added it to their tbr. And an extra special thanks to those who have told others about it. This story centers on an immigrant family whose matriarch's fear of the government and their power to separate her from her loved ones negatively impacts the way she thinks and acts and taints her relationships with her family for the rest of her life. Community support and understanding is a shining light in her journey. "Home is where the heart is" may sound cliché but it's true for the characters in this story and it's true for people in real life.” ~Anamely Salgado Join us this Thursday June 19th from 5:30-7:00 PM for a short Q & A with the author! Books will be available for purchase. See ya soon, Marty
