Love Is In The Air


Happy Early Valentine's Day! In honor of St. Valentine's Day I found a really cool event in Katy where you can bring your loved ones of all ages! Bounce houses, hot dogs, face painting, music and BONUS!! It's at a Brewery so if your love for  your family has an expiration time, you can renew it with some adult beverages!   Make sure to register for the Family Night here on Eventbrite or contact them at allthingsloveevents@yahoo.com


So this is not free--but it's really cheap. The Houston Rockets has a Kid's Club program that gives you two tickets to a Rockets' game, a Rocket's backpack, headband and coupon for a free meal at Rain Forest Cafe-- all for the grand total $35. My son and I went and it was Clutch's birthday so we ended up getting free cake as well. There are limited game choices available, go to this link if you want to register: http://www.nba.com/rockets/kids-club

The Astros and the Houston Dynamo also have Kid's club and you can find more information on each of their sites.


Children's Museum along with other downtown museums are free every Thursday! Look below for more details on which museums you can visit for free!

Houston Museum of Natural Science 3 pm - 6 pm
Children's Museum of Houston  5 pm - 8 pm
Museum of Fine Arts Houston- All day!
Houston Museum of African American Culture 6pm - 8 pm

The Prelude Music School is hosting their free family Music Concert on February 3, 2018 at 10:30 am at Levy Park. Even if you aren't a big music fan, come to check out the park. There are lots of new age creatively shaped park equipment that your kids will really enjoy!  

Jung Do Tae Kwon Do is hosting a free family Tae Kwon Do class on Monday, February 19th. This event is for all ages and you can register here on Eventbrite. 

If you're fancy enough-- I mean fortunate enough to live near the Woodlands, check out the Woodlands Children's Museum on February 10 for their Chinese New Year Celebration from 10 am- 2pm. This is a perfect opportunity to introduce your kids to a different culture, or a great way to celebrate your own!

One of the most beautiful places to visit and take a few social media worthy selfies is the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens.Every other month the Museum sponsors a family day for you to come out and experience the beautiful grounds and participate in music, crafts, jugglers and even some puppeteers. The Bayou Bend Family Day is a free event held by the Museum of Fine Arts at 

I found this next event to be super creative, so I thought I'd share it here. For all of you mommas that are breastfeeding and would like tips on how to keep the milk flowing, Mommy's Sweet Treats is holding a Launch Party on February 11th. The restaurant specializes in treats that help support healthy lactation-- check out the Eventbrite link for more information here.

I am a planner to a fault-- I have sticky notes on sticky notes all over my planner!  So if you are like me and you are already thinking about Summer plans, check out the Camp Fair on February 17 at First Colony Mall. This fair shares  lots of day camp and sleep away camp options for all of your kids from preschool age to the almost out of your house age!  
Free Tip: Don't be afraid to ask if the camps offer scholarships or discounts-- I have found that quite a few camps offer scholarships for low income families. For instance, Club Sci Kids Camp already has a scholarship application out for their camps that are targeted to kids from 4 years old to 12 years old!

As always, I have to shout out my top 3 favorite places for free family fun. All three of these places host events for you to bring your kids, learn a new skill or just have fun--- and its fFREE
