🎭 SIX is coming to Omaha, and it’s already selling fast!

Saddle Creek Breakfast Club is where you can start the year feeling fresh and well-fed.

Playful wallpaper and mid-century charm set a cheerful tone, while the menu balances comfort with lighter, thoughtful plates: think lemon curd toast, banana bread French toast, and veggie-forward omelets cooked just right.

Smooth coffee, friendly faces, and options for every diet make this a feel-good ritual locals swear by, especially when healthy habits are top of mind.

Joslyn Castle & Gardens is a Midtown reset in the best way. The historic mansion invites you to slow down, wander the grounds, and soak up a little beauty after the busy season.

January brings thoughtful ways to engage, from a free Opera in Conversation on Jan. 13 to candlelit evening tours on Jan. 15 and a bold new art exhibition opening Jan. 16. It’s culture, calm, and community all in one place.

The Gist: While most of Lincoln was still toasting the new year, Paige and Andrew Petts were welcoming something even sweeter. Their baby girl arrived at Bryan Health at 12:21 a.m., weighing 8 pounds, 7 ounces, making her the first baby born in 2026 across Lincoln and Omaha. The couple did not know the gender ahead of time, though their 2-year-old was convinced it would be a girl.

Why It Matters: First babies of the year are a small but joyful tradition, giving our community a hopeful start to 2026. The family headed home last weekend, with a big sibling meeting!
