These days, thousands of our family photos live on our phones, but I think there’s still something special about holding an actual picture in your hands. Maybe it's because I grew up in the era of dropping off rolls of film at Walgreens and then waiting to see how the pictures turned out. There was something exciting about picking up that little envelope of prints and flipping through the photos for the first time!

Do you often find yourself thinking about "what if" situations? What if my child starts choking? What if someone collapses unexpectedly? What if your tween is home alone and an emergency happens?

When I met Kimmy (aka "Kimberly") in the Kroger parking lot in The Woodlands, I thought I was simply picking up a couple of loaves of sourdough bread to sample.
Instead, I got a taste of the story behind the bread, and it genuinely brought me to tears.

For many families, summer feels like a pause. School routines slow down. Calendars open up. Days become more flexible. And after a long school year, many parents simply want their children to relax, recharge, and enjoy being kids. There’s real value in that.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is coming to Houston, and friends… it's gonna be BIG. Even if your family doesn’t normally follow soccer (mine doesn't!), this is one of those exciting moments where the entire area starts buzzing with energy, international culture, team spirit, and nonstop fun.

Now’s the time to plan summer activities that keep kids engaged and learning! One easy place to start is our local library’s Summer Reading Program. It encourages regular reading, offers fun incentives, and gives us families access to a variety of free events throughout the summer.
To celebrate the start of the program, our local libraries are hosting Summer Reading Kickoff Parties. (I’m highlighting Montgomery County libraries as well as a few in Harris County). These events vary by location, and many will include activities like bounce houses, crafts, face painting, and colorful foam play. It's an engaging way to get the kids excited about summer reading!
