If you think life’s a snore, try one of these TAPS events offered by Harris County and held at various locations throughout the area, including as close as Burroughs Park just minutes from The Woodlands.

I signed up for a FREE Friday Cart Cruise, and this was my view from the back of a golf cart one lovely morning a couple weeks ago! The 8-passenger golf cart was occupied by me and two of my children, and a plastic shield separated us from the driver / guide who was super friendly and shared – via the cart’s intercom system - a myriad of interesting facts about the Spring Creek Trail. On our 1-hour cruise beginning at Pundt Park in Spring, we stopped several times to learn about identifying trees, plants, markings, and tracks. My kiddos received a valuable nature lesson, and I went home with a couple of freshly picked bay leaves from the forest. 

Upcoming events through TAPS include movie night in the park, archery for children, canoeing, cart tours, kayaking, stargazing, yoga, and more!

WoodlandsMommy.com Pro Tip: Even if the event says “Waitlist Only”, don’t be discouraged. Sign up anyway! Cancellations happen very frequently and the staff are diligent about working the waitlist.

As we approach the end of winter and emerge from an unseasonably cold season in the Lone Star State, students and families are undoubtedly looking forward to a little fun in the sun during Spring Break. 

An easy car ride from The Woodlands area, Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe | Houston offers the perfect place to relax and unwind or discover a Texas-sized adventure.

It feels like home.

I genuinely expected it to feel like many things, but not home. The Woodlands Christian Academy – an independent, Christ-centered college preparatory school for grades K-12 in The Woodlands - is warm and vibrant and unpretentious and, just… in a word… lovely.

That energy I feel on campus. How would I describe it? On a beautiful day, “The Grove” serves as a secure space for eager students to congregate at picnic tables with friends or to leaf through a textbook. Younger ones revel in the school’s expansive, open playground that’s worthy of its own park. Strong athletics. Performing & fine arts. Mission projects. Class trips and retreats. Author visits. Nutritious, chef-prepared meals.
