Read about family fun from Houston Moms Blog!
Road trips are not a new thing for us. Packing up the SUV for a long voyage is our forte. But traveling during a pandemic is not. The 12 hour drive from Houston to our family lake house at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri seemed a bit daunting with so much uncertainty surrounding us […]
I can’t say I’m entirely surprised to find us back in quarantine {not that my family ever really left}; after all, hearing the news that the state would reopen back in May felt something akin to standing on the deck of the Titanic waving at the nice frosty icebergs in front of us. And though […]
If you are like my family, with the closure of playgrounds and community pools so far this summer, you might be moving hiking, or “walking in the woods” as my toddler says, to the top of your outdoor activities. One of my favorite things about the Houston area is the wide variety of ways to […]

This summer however, many public pools and splash pads might be closed or have limited access. What can a home-bound mama do? Space and Splurge If you have the space and the budget, here are […]
If you by chance caught my family and I on the Today Show recently, you probably heard me framing up the problem we are all feeling after 2+ months of quarantine. From a 30-minute interview came a 20-second sound bite to frame up what my “engi-nerd” husband, Paul would say is the “problem statement”. What you […]
I miss my people, y’all. I regret turning down all of those social invitations that happened pre-quarantine. I miss my friends, the moms from the preschool class, and my bunco group.
