Cypress Digest🌲 5.23.25

Happy Friday, friends! Memorial Day is on Monday which is the official start of summer for many of us. Now that we’re (almost) officially into summertime, just a few reminders:

• Mosquito season is here, so check your yard for standing water — even that forgotten flower pot saucer or clogged gutter can become a breeding ground. A quick walk-around can save you from a lot of itchy evenings.

• Sunburns happen fast, especially on cloudy days or during those “just 15-minute” errands. Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen (yes, even on the kids, even on the dog’s nose if they’re the pink-nosed type).

• Heat exhaustion creeps up on you, especially if you’re chasing little ones or working in the yard. Hydrate, take breaks, and don’t underestimate the power of a cool towel around your neck.

• Pets feel the heat too. If the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. Make sure they’ve got shade, fresh water, and a way to cool off — even if that means a little splash time in a kiddie pool.

• Kids can overheat quickly. Whether they’re in the backseat or out in the yard, check on them often, keep drinks nearby, and teach them early signs of getting too hot (like headaches, nausea, or just “feeling weird”).

Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference in keeping your home and family safe through the heat. Here’s to enjoying every minute of summer — comfortably, safely, and bite-free. 🌞

Adopt Pets: We’re kicking things off with Faith, an 8 week old puppy mix with the most precious set of eyes. Also, Buddy a 5-7 year old sweetheart who is a total gentleman.

House of the Week: This one clocks in an entrance that is easily 10/10 [See the listing]

If you’re in deal-hunting mode this weekend (and honestly, who isn’t?), these Memorial Day sales might be worth your attention. From mattresses to mosquito-proofing your patio, here are five standout deals I think are actually worth clicking on.

Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress

Deal: Now $1,099 (Queen) — 31% off with code WIRECUTTER
Why it stands out: A longtime Wirecutter top pick, this mattress balances memory foam comfort with bouncy spring support. You’ll also get two pillows and a sheet set thrown in. Perfect if you’ve been thinking about a sleep upgrade but waiting for the right moment.

Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0 Fire Pit (with Stand)

Deal: $160 at Costco — $40 off
Why it stands out: Ideal for backyard hangs without the smoke. Wirecutter notes it’s nearly smokeless, which means fewer burning eyes and more s’mores. Just don’t forget the Costco membership (required to snag the deal).

Tiki BiteFighter LED String Lights

Deal: $75 at Tiki Brand — 46% off
Why it stands out: Functional and festive, these string lights double as mosquito repellents. Great for those Houston evenings when you want to enjoy the backyard without being dinner for bugs.
