About the Publication
A publication made for this neighborhood
Celebrate Mustang Lakes is a living digital magazine created for residents of Mustang Lakes in Celina, Texas. It exists to tell the neighborhood’s own stories well, with four seasonal editions each year and community updates on the first of each month.
Why I Started This
I kept hearing good stories in passing — at the mailbox, on the trail, at a kid's game — and thinking they deserved more than a comment thread.
So this is a publication instead: four seasonal editions a year with monthly community updates in between, reported and photographed properly, made to read on your phone in a few unhurried minutes.
It is independent, and it will stay resident-focused. If you have a story or know someone who does, I want to hear about it.

Editorial Philosophy
How we work
A short set of commitments that shape every edition.
Neighbors first
Most of every edition is about the people who live here — their work, homes, families, and pets.
Reported, not repackaged
Real conversations and original photography, written with care and fact-checked.
Seasonal stories, monthly updates
Four seasonal editions, refreshed with community updates on the first of each month. Timely notices are added throughout the month when there’s something neighbors need to know.
Independent
Editorial decisions are made by the publication, not by any partner or organization.
Independent means the stories answer to residents, and no one else.
Independence
Celebrate Mustang Lakes is an independent community publication and is not affiliated with or operated by the Mustang Lakes homeowners association, developer or management company.
