Shhhh!! Who knew silent mice were a thing? Such a simple little gadget has made all the difference in my household! A year ago, I didn't even know there was a such thing as a silent mouse. My poor husband. All these years I've stayed up late, night after night, working on my computer - click, click, click goes my mouse as he tries to sleep while I browse the Internet and make updates to my website. He has never complained. I mean, you would think a mouse click is no big deal, but at the end of the day when the house falls quiet, even smaller noises seem to be amplified.

The Woodlands Children’s Museum brings to life more extraordinary hands-on adventures with the opening of The Amazing Castle. Visitors to The Amazing Castle are transported to a magical place and time—inside the castle’s stone walls lays a happy and peaceful little community where every citizen has a special job to do.
Children can don costumes and engage in role-play by becoming lords and ladies, castle villagers, or even “HiJinx the Jester.” Visitors can try their hands in the Royal Workshops with “Trim the Tailor” or “Gable the Carpenter.” After picking vegetables in the garden, kids can tote them to the Great Hall to cook up a royal meal or visit the tower to wake “Herald,” the sleeping dragon! The Amazing Castle is designed for visitors of all ages and will be at The Woodlands Children’s Museum through May 4, 2024.

The New Year is off to a festive start at north Houston’s City Place, where visitors can laissez les bons temps rouler during an annual Fat Tuesday celebration, take advantage of ongoing health and wellness programming, give kids a leg up on the competition and show that special someone how much they’re loved with a special meal, romantic stay or handcrafted Valentine’s Day card. Programming takes place on and around the community’s central Plaza at 1250 Lake Plaza Drive – Spring, TX 77389.
