Businesses are closed throughout The Woodlands and beyond, and it’s a sad time for all of us, but we’re grateful to see so many of the companies we love providing support for our families, even at a distance. Please continue to keep these businesses on your radar and make plans to extend your support when all of our schedules are back to normal. We need each other. In the meantime, these resources are available right now from the following entities. Check back frequently for updates and additions.

Have you heard of Kidtivities? It's a new soft play rental business serving The Woodlands and surrounding area!
The inspiration behind this fun and unique business started when local resident, Rebecca Groenow, was planning her son Max’s first birthday party. She quickly realized how limited her options were when trying to find age-appropriate activities for her young son and his friends to enjoy. Around this same time, Rebecca visited the Children's Museum of Houston where she discovered their toddler soft play area. She was surprised by how much the little ones loved crawling, climbing, and exploring the play area, and she knew these types of activities would make a great concept for a birthday party.
Are you ready to wrap your arms around a beautiful, heartwarming, energetic Broadway show that you’ll remember for years to come? Memorial Hermann Broadway at the Hobby Center is thrilled to announce the national tour of COME FROM AWAY, a Broadway musical about the true story of the small town that welcomed the world, will make its Houston debut at the Hobby Center for a limited engagement March 3 - 8, 2020. COME FROM AWAY tickets are on sale now.
Broadway’s COME FROM AWAY is a Best Musical winner all across North America! This New York Times Critics’ Pick takes you into the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them. Cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships.
It's Carnival season! Mardi Gras is next Tuesday, February 25, and we just LOVE celebrating this fun holiday with our families. Here are a few simple ways you can make the day memorable for you and your crew:
1. Eat! (Think shrimp po-boys, beignets, and all-you-can-eat crawfish.)
When we hear "Mardi Gras", the first thing on our minds is Food (yes, that's with a capital F). This time of year, there's always something fun and festive at Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen in Shenandoah. The restaurant showcases live musical acts for entertainment, and for eats we recommend the crawfish bisque (it's the bomb-diggety), but special menu options such as the Costa Rican Mahi & Crawfish, the Mardi Gras Cheesecake, and the oh-so-famous Swampthing will make dining here for Mardi Gras a real treat.
Other local cajun & creole favorites can be found at Schilleci's New Orleans Kitchen in Market Street (it's quaint and cozy - we prefer leaving the kids at home), Babin's (definitely the place to go if you're all about the spice), and Landry's (great appetizers!).

Not for me, I'm perfectly content with my regular doses of cheeseburgers and fried shrimp, thank you very much, but is a plant-based diet right for YOU? The South Branch library (2101 Lake Robbins Rd.) will help you figure it out on Wednesday, March 4, 1pm - 2pm!

You'll discuss: proven health benefits of eating plant based; who should and should not follow a plant based diet; how to succeed on a plant-based diet, what foods should be avoided on a plant-based diet (not just meat!); debunk common myths surrounding a plant-based diet.
