And guess what… It is all because of YOU! Our followers, our readers, our village. You have supported us and helped us grow with each like, comment, click, and share. You have encouraged us and cheered us on as we have worked tirelessly and consistently to always do our best. And you have even remained loyal and steadfast when we have faltered or made mistakes, as moms sometimes do. You gals are truly the best, and we are so, so, SO very thankful for you.
So to celebrate this momentous milestone and our quickly approaching birthday, we want to show our appreciation with an over the top Houston Staycation Giveaway! That’s right, one VERY lucky local mama will be winning all of the goodies pictured below…
Looks like a pretty amazing Houston staycation, right? We think so too!

But hurry, hurry… This giveaway will only be open until September 2nd when we will randomly select a winner to SURPRISE!
GIVEAWAY PARTNERS
<< OMNI HOUSTON HOTEL - WESTSIDE
Located in the heart of the Energy Corridor, the Omni Houston Hotel at Westside is always family-friendly and packed with great amenities both you and your kids will love. Their stunning atrium lobby welcomes you with waterfalls, exotic foliage, and tropical fish in a beautiful serene setting, and the glass elevators lead the way to 400 beautifully renovated guest rooms. The hotel is minutes from Houston’s City Centre – packed with fabulous dining, shopping, movies, and more, and if you’re looking to head in to the heart of the city for a day, they are just a short drive down I-10 from downtown. It’s a fantastic locale for a fun Houston staycation, and we are so excited to include a two-night stay in our over the top 20K Giveaway!
SAINT BERNARD >>
For well over three decades, Saint Bernard has been helping families enjoy adventure and the outdoors in the most stylish way possible, and after many a years spent shopping via their ah-mazing website — we are over the moon that this Texas-based company now has a storefront in Houston! With a full range of ski as well as designer sportswear, swimwear, and accessories, they have something for everyone in the family and all of our favorite brands {Yeti, Patagonia, Columbia…}. And included in our 20K Giveaway package, one lucky family will win a Herschell Little America Backpack + a $100 gift card to help pack and prep for that Houston staycation too!
<< CHILDREN'S MUSEUM OF HOUSTON
Rated America’s No. 1 Children’s Museum by Parents Magazine, the Children’s Museum of Houston is packed with 90,000 square feet of interactive exhibits – from their Tot Spot for the tiniest of visitors to PowerPlay for the biggest of kids, we love that there is never a dull moment once you walk into the Museum…and that our kiddos are constantly playing, discovering, and learning each step of the way. We think it is the perfect place to spend the day during a Houston staycation, so one lucky family will win a family four pack as part of our 20K Giveway package as well!
GRIMALDI'S PIZZERIA >>
With over 100 years of pizza-making traditions and 5 locations across the greater Houston area, Grimaldi’s has such a unique and distinct flavor that you simply can’t help but fall in love. Their pizzas and calzones are always baked to perfection in their signature coal burning oven, and it’s not hard to see why they are the most award-winning pizzeria in the United States with their fresh ingredients, handmade mozzarella, ‘secret recipe’ dough, and delicious pizza sauce. And of course, since pizza is a family favorite and no Houston staycation is complete without a delicious meal, we are giving away a $50 gift card with our 20K Giveaway package too!
<< THE POPCORN SHOP
Love popcorn? Us too! Well, our friends at The Popcorn Shop definitely kick it up a notch with the most delicious flavors {pina colada, anyone?}, packaging {bags, and jars, and baskets – oh my!}, and gift ideas for every occasion under the sun. Our kiddos love the bright colors and fun surprises in their shop, and us mamas love that we can stock up for teacher gifts, party favors, and a little something sweet to hide on the top shelf of the pantry where no little hands can reach. Our 20K Giveaway winner will LOVE having a popcorn gift basket for hotel room snacking on their Houston staycation giveaway – that’s for sure!
GOODNIGHT HOUSTON >>
One of our most favorite books of all time… “Goodnight Houston” is a 32 page, hardcover children’s book that takes families on a bedtime tour to the charming points of interest that make Houston unique. From the Texans to the Orange Show, and from Hermann Park to Buffalo Bayou, this book will spark conversation and have kids dreaming of all the magical places they can visit right here in our great city! We think it’s a must-have for all young Houstonians, and our 20K Giveaway winner will have a copy of “Goodnight Houston” for their very own to remember their Houston staycation for years and years to come.
