STOP! Wait a minute. Fill my cup… put some boba in it!

Alright alright, I’ll lay off the singing, but boba tea shops are becoming a BIG DEAL in The Woodlands, and my taste buds are here for it! Many moons ago when my husband and I were just dating, he introduced me to a modern, trendy, boba tea shop located in midtown Houston. I remember liking the idea of a stylish place for yuppies to bring their laptops to get work done, although at the time I wasn't too fond of the beverage.

Some people call it “The Woodlands’ best kept secret,” but how in the world am I supposed to keep this a secret? Nope, not anymore!

Have you gotten wind of All Nations Community School? It’s a Christ-centered, globally-minded academy located at 27420 Robinson Road in Oak Ridge North—and unlike any other school I’ve seen around here lately.

You must know, it’s an impressive institution with PreK-3 through High School, Spanish immersion for all grade levels, a la carte homeschool classes, before and after school care, Advanced Placement courses, and Dual Credit. For PreK, the school offers a 2-Day, 3-Day, and 5-Day option. There’s also award-winning STEM and robotics, fine arts, a school garden, community service, and fascinating electives.

Cinco de Mayo is one of the most festive and fun celebrations of the year, and you don't have to know a thing about the Battle of Puebla to get a bit rowdy with friends and celebrate this holiday over a pan of piping hot fajitas!

***As a quick aside, we personally think it's appropriate to respectfully participate in cultural holidays and to understand the meanings and reasons behind the celebration, so read all the way to the end if you'd like to be enlightened!

The month of May is National Bike Month, and it's a BIG DEAL in The Woodlands. Time to oil up those bicycle chains, air up the tires, and hit the road! Whether you have a mountain bike, an electric bike, or a cruiser, a $100 bicycle from Walmart or something more in the neighborhood of $2K from a specialty bike shop, this is your month to take to the trails or to the open road and spend some time biking. May brings plenty of sunshine and a slight breeze, so all you'll need is a water bottle!

5 Kid & Tween programs worth the drive to the Bush Library!

Have you visited the Barbara Bush library in Spring? It's part of Harris County Public Library System and offers a ton of activities for the community such as storytimes, open mic nights, teen crafts, computer classes, book clubs, puppet shows, and so much more!

Yes, there are several libraries closer for Woodlands-area readers (the South County Library on Lake Robbins Dr is just a few minutes away from home for me), but I don’t mind driving further sometimes to take advantage of a community program that’s awesome and free (and ALL the programs at the library are free).
