From Me To You...

We have always been aware that the time with our children is finite, and that when they are ready to leave the nest it was our duty to make them as capable as possible. To that end we have consciously taught them things that we hoped would help them become responsible, productive adults.

All my children could cook simple meals by the age of 12. This had the added bonus of relieving me from the cooking every night, and a side product was finding out one of our kids is a talented and inventive chef — who knew that bacon was better when covered in hot honey???

Laundry was a massive undertaking in a house with 2 adults and 4 children, so sharing the load (no pun intended) by teaching the whites and colors of it all to the children helped on both sides. Cleaning, keeping and caring for a house were in there too, along with being able to travel, read a map, and navigate an airport by themselves.

Fundamental finances. This is a biggie. Everyone should know how to balance their bank account, understand the importance of credit - how to get it, use it and keep it. To that end we helped them get

credit cards and showed them the importance of paying their balance every month. If you can’t afford to pay for roller skates then you should not get them...

As they got older we taught them how to invest in the market, and gave them a small fund to invest for themselves. Sometimes their stocks went up, and sometimes they went down. Each scenario taught them something of worth.

But the most valuable lesson, in my opinion, was teaching them to be respectful and civil to others whilst taking accountability for their own actions. It takes no more effort to be kind than to be rude or hurtful, and it can make all the difference to someone in how they see you, even more so, how they see themselves. On the flip side, being able to admit when you are wrong and remediate the situation goes a long way towards improving how others see you. Hopefully, some of these lessons stuck with our kids (now adults) and made their entry into adulthood a little smoother.

On Our Cover The Jr. Lady Vipers all-girls flag football, a nonprofit 501 (C)(3) organization, was established to introduce girls of all skill levels to the fast-growing sport of flag football! Our organization is dedicated to teaching, developing, and empowering young female athletes through a fun, non- contact version of football that is quickly gaining popularity across the country. Since our establishment in November 2024, we have grown to over 40 girls.

Flag football is now a varsity sport in high school and a growing opportunity at some NAIA colleges. The best part? It’s non-contact, so girls can enjoy the excitement of the game without worrying about the physical impact of traditional tackle football.

We believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where girls, ages 7-17, can learn the game from the ground up. Whether your daughter has experience or is just starting out, we welcome everyone! Our unique program focuses on the fundamentals of the game, ensuring players develop the skills they need to succeed—on and off the field.

Another important aspect of this movement are the Coaches. Our Coaches play such a vital role in the success of this program. Many of them are

also new to the sport of flag football; however, they have taken this challenge on in full stride. They do more than just teach the plays; they help shape the entire team dynamic, foster teamwork, and inspire individual players to give their best effort. I want to say thank you to our Coaches: Valerie Goldsworthy, Amanda Luzander, Robert Torres, Joel England, Fabio Bettencourt, and Mario Palomino.

We’re bringing girls flag football to the Verrado/ Buckeye area, and we want YOU to be a part of it!

No experience? No problem! We offer a welcoming space for beginners, as well as opportunities for more experienced players to improve their skills.

Come out to observe or practice with the team— everyone is welcome, and we’d love to see new faces!

Whether your daughter is excited to learn or ready to compete, we have a spot for her on the Jr. Lady Vipers.

Let’s build the future of girls’ flag football together!

Cook With Zona Buttermilk Pancakes

For the past few years I’ve been making my own butter and in my house “We don’t waste anything”. After you’ve made your very own butter not only are you extremely satisfied and thrilled with yourself but you also have buttermilk! *When making butter with 1 pint of heavy whipping cream you’re left with about 2 cups of buttermilk. There are so many recipes you can use buttermilk for but my family’s favorite are fluffy buttermilk pancakes!

This pancake recipe is seriously so easy, I guarantee you already have all the ingredients in your house.

And personally I think they’re better than store bought pancake mix!

If you have a recipe you’d like to share with your community email me at ArizonaCooks71@gmail.com to be featured in the magazine!

Prep time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 30 mins

Estrella Publishing - Main Street magazine

Ingredients: 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 large egg 2 cups buttermilk 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps: 1. Preheat and lightly grease a large skillet or electric griddle.

2. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.

Add egg, buttermilk, and butter; stir together lightly, but keep it lumpy. The batter should look thick, spongy, and puffy.

3. Drop 1/3 cup of the batter onto the cooking surface. Cook until lightly browned on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

4. Garnish with your favorite fruit and syrup.

5. Enjoy!

We love to see our neighbors’ delicious creations, so send us a picture of your fluffy buttermilk pancakes or tag us on social media @ EstrellaPublishing.

The Bug Guy

As the mercury in the valley climbs faster than ticket prices to a Taylor Swift concert, our desert dwelling pests are planning their annual summer invasion. May marks the official kickoff of what locals affectionately call “The Season of Screaming at Things with Too Many Legs.”

Scorpions, having spent the winter perfecting their stealth tactics, are now emerging with what appears to be military-grade night vision and an uncanny ability to appear precisely where your bare foot is about to step. These tiny ninjas with venom have been studying your bathroom habits for months and have determined 2 AM is the optimal time to make you question your life choices.

Meanwhile, roof rats—who frankly should be paying rent given their occupancy levels—have declared your attic the hottest club in Phoenix. With bass-heavy scurrying between 1-4 AM, these rodent ravers have little respect for your Zoom meetings or sanity.

The ants of Phoenix deserve special recognition for their mathematical precision. These tiny architects can calculate the exact path from the tiniest cookie crumb to their colony three blocks away faster than your

GPS can recalculate after a wrong turn on the I-10.

Local pest control companies report call volumes rising faster than housing prices, with homeowners describing encounters in increasingly creative terms.

“It wasn’t a spider, it was a furry octopus with attitude,” reported one Scottsdale resident.

Experts recommend the traditional Arizona pest control strategy: a combination of professional services, meticulous cleanliness, and the occasional primal scream into the void of your pantry.

Remember, West Valley residents: in the battle against our multi-legged adversaries, victory isn’t about elimination—it’s about peaceful coexistence. And by “peaceful coexistence,” we mean them staying outside where they belong while you enjoy your airconditioned sanctuary, clutching your shoe, ready for combat at a moment’s notice.

May the odds be ever in your favor. At least until June, when things get really interesting.

Money Matters How should you respond to tariffs? The Trump Administration has announced tariffs on trade with other countries, sparking uncertainty about their economic impact. Tariffs are generally considered inflationary and have already caused volatility in financial markets. How should you respond as a consumer and investor?

As a consumer…

Review your budget. If higher prices due to tariffs strain your cash flow, look for cost-cutting opportunities. Consider eating out less, canceling unused streaming services, or switching to generic brands. You might also negotiate better rates with your cable or internet provider. Build or replenish an emergency fund. Aim to save three to six months’ worth of living expenses in a liquid, low-risk account.

This fund can cover unexpected costs like medical bills or car repairs, and with tariffs potentially driving inflation, it can help manage rising prices for items like auto parts. Accelerate large purchases susceptible to tariffs. If you’re planning a major purchase—like a car, smartphone, or computer—that could be affected by tariffs, consider buying now if it fits your budget.

Estrella Publishing - Main Street magazine

As an investor…

Diversify. Tariffs may hit industries like automobiles and electronics harder than others, such as healthcare.

Instead of reacting impulsively, maintain a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other securities.

Diversification can’t guarantee profits or prevent losses, but it helps cushion against market volatility by spreading risk across asset classes. Stick to a long-term strategy. Tariffs are grabbing headlines, but disruptive forces—wars, natural disasters, political unrest—have always existed. Historically, markets recover, and the most successful investors stay committed rather than exiting during turbulence. While you may need to adjust your portfolio occasionally, a strategy aligned with your risk tolerance, time horizon, and goals will better position you to handle market swings. Tariffs introduce uncertainties, but thoughtful planning can bring clarity. By reviewing your budget, securing an emergency fund, timing large purchases wisely, diversifying investments, and staying focused on longterm goals, you can navigate the challenges tariffs may bring with confidence.

The Doctor Is In

Set Your Intentions - Part 3

This month, we’re wrapping up this series, with a better setup for success than New Year’s resolutions.

That setup is the WOTY method.

Some years ago, a friend of mine posted that she was working on her Word of the Year (WOTY). When I first read this, I thought, “Oh, joy, another pop psychology trend to sell special journals. It’ll take over social media for the next 30 days and then disappear overnight like a parking lot carnival.” But, I have to admit, the idea lingered in my mind…

As I thought about my goals for the new year, I realized that there was actually a theme to them. I’d always been a fan of New Year’s resolutions and often use January as a time for my patients to evaluate their therapy progress and come up with revised or new goals for the year. But I started really taking to the idea of a one-word mantra that I could repeat whenever I was faced with a challenge that linked up with one of my goals for the year.

So…a few days passed, and I came up with my word for the year: Eliminate. I wanted to eliminate all sorts

of things: fear, health challenges, clutter, time suckers, you name it. I started using my word and found it to be really helpful. And my patients have loved it, too!

Here’s how you establish your WOTY: 1. Take a look at various areas of your life: parenting, home, family, faith, work, health, love, finances, friendships and so on.

2. Assess areas for improvement in each category and create SMART goals around them.

3. Write down a word or short phrase that summarizes each goal.

4. Funnel those words or phrases down to a theme that stands out across all or most of your goals.

5. Turn that theme into an action word or adjective.

Some examples include compassionate, brave, focus, assertive, confident, fearless, pursue, relax, breathe, love, change, simplify and strength.

Do something different this year and feel better about slow and steady progress and less disappointed at the end of the year.
