And like that – boom! – It’s May. Wasn’t it just March? Was April only one week long? Yikes.

Lake Travis ISD and Leander ISD parents know what happens towards the end of May. School is out. It’s time for summer fun with your children at home all day, every day. Every single day. All day long.

But before that happens, Lake Travis has many weeks in May with lots of different activities and events. That’s why we’re doing a sneak peek of what’s shaking in the Lake Travis area this month.

Local luxury home builder Ash Creek Homes is doing two things simultaneously that may seem at odds with each other, yet it makes perfect sense — building and breaking. While Ash Creek Homes is (and has been) building luxury communities in the Lake Travis area, they’re breaking the glass ceiling when it comes to women in leadership roles in a predominantly male industry.

Ash Creek Homes announced last week the promotion of Jenna Edge who replaces the company’s founder and owner, Scott Morledge.

It’s not the typical story about a girl and her rescue dog. There’s a dash of community with a big sprinkle of heart.

Twelve-year-old Kaylynn Kolinek, a Lake Pointe resident and Lake Travis ISD student, had been asking her parents for a family dog for years. She’s always a had a big heart for animals. As Kaylynn’s mom Traci explains, “It’s as if she feels their emotions.”

The Kolinek family happens to be friends with another Lake Travis family who fosters dogs, the McClanahans. Lisa McClanahan usually has at least four dogs in her home and has fostered over 150. (If you’re friends with Lisa on Facebook, you know her dedication to saving animals is just in her DNA.)

Over the years, when Kaylynn spent time at Lisa’s house, she always bonded with the dogs, so when the Kolineks decided it was time to find a new four-legged family member, they called Lisa for help.

Enter Bubbles.
