At some point, many homeowners notice that everyday things at home don’t feel quite as easy as they once did. Reaching upper cabinets, stepping in and out of the shower, moving through dim hallways, or keeping up with constant maintenance starts to take more effort than it should. These are small moments, but over time, they add up and quietly affect how comfortable a home feels day to day.

Lunar New Year begins Tuesday, February 17, 2026, and this year, it just so happens to land on the very same day as Mardi Gras. So the real question is…Are we eating lo mein or jambalaya? Red envelopes or purple, green, and gold beads? Lion dances or brass bands?

sTOYrieland Indoor Playground is officially open in Spring a couple of months ago, and it’s the kind of place that immediately makes you think, Oh yes, we are going to be here for a while. For one affordable price of $15 per child, your child can play all day with in-and-out privileges, while adult admission is always free, making it an easy YES for families looking for a relaxed, budget-friendly indoor play option.

If you have young kids at home, you already know the house never really slows down. Mornings move fast, afternoons are packed, and evenings are a mix of homework, activities, and family time. When a home is not designed to handle that pace, even small inconveniences can turn into daily frustrations.

Sure, there's Valentine’s Day for you and your significant other, but what about a special celebration just for the homies? Galentine’s is traditionally celebrated on Feb. 13th (although I’m finding events on the 12th too), and whether you’re spending time with your BFFs, gal pals, or your daughters & neices, this holiday is a super sweet occasion to share the love with just the girls!

For families in Spring, The Woodlands, and Tomball, choosing a preschool or child care center is often one of the very first big parenting decisions. It’s not just about proximity or hours—it’s about trust. Parents want to know their child will feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for during their first experience away from home.
