Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at these Local Restaurants

cincodemayo1

Cinco de Mayo is one of the most festive and fun celebrations of the year, and you don't have to know a thing about the Battle of Puebla to get a bit rowdy with friends and celebrate this holiday over a pan of piping hot fajitas!

***As a quick aside, we personally think it's appropriate to respectfully participate in cultural holidays and to understand the meanings and reasons behind the celebration, so read all the way to the end if you'd like to be enlightened! 

National Bike Month - Family-friendly Biking Events in The Woodlands

bike the woodlands
The month of May is National Bike Month, and it's a BIG DEAL in The Woodlands. Time to oil up those bicycle chains, air up the tires, and hit the road! Whether you have a mountain bike, an electric bike, or a cruiser, a $100 bicycle from Walmart or something more in the neighborhood of $2K from a specialty bike shop, this is your month to take to the trails or to the open road and spend some time biking. May brings plenty of sunshine and a slight breeze, so all you'll need is a water bottle!

This month, The Woodlands Township has a myriad of biking activities for families of all sizes. There are village group rides, children's events, workshops, a Bike & Roll to School Day, and more.

CLICK HERE to access Bike The Woodlands - your guide to indulging in this celebratory month of biking! 

In case you're not convinced, below are some of the wonderful benefits to biking:

  • Bicyling facilates weight loss.
  • Bicycling can help clear your mind.
  • Bicycling releases endorphins, helping to boost your mood.
  • Bicycling improves heart health.
  • Bicycling can help strengthen leg and core muscles.

5 Kid & Tween programs worth the drive to the Bush Library!

Have you visited the Barbara Bush library in Spring? It's part of Harris County Public Library System and offers a ton of activities for the community such as storytimes, open mic nights, teen crafts, computer classes, book clubs, puppet shows, and so much more!

Yes, there are several libraries closer for Woodlands-area readers (the South County Library on Lake Robbins Dr is just a few minutes away from home for me), but I don’t mind driving further sometimes to take advantage of a community program that’s awesome and free (and ALL the programs at the library are free).

Introducing Carolina Creek - Overnight Summer Camp for Kids

carolina creek 1
Have you heard of Carolina Creek’s overnight summer camp? It isn’t a Vacation Bible School away from home. It’s a summer camp for kids, offering a wide range of exciting activities and events connecting fun and faith! The best news (in our opinion) is that it's located in Hunstville, TX, only a short drive from The Woodlands, so it's an easy-to-access summer camp for our readers, especially if you're feeling a bit uneasy about your child being away from home.
