Family-Friendly Things to do in Houston this Weekend (May 3-5)

Houston Moms is proud to partner with Next Level Urgent Care to help support and serve the incredible families in our community!

May brings forth sunny weather, outdoor activities, and unfortunately for some, bouts of illness and injury. In addition to allergies and sinus infections, respiratory illnesses, bites, stings, broken bones, and sprains are especially popular this time of year. Don’t fall victim to hefty ER bills for non-life-threatening medical issues like these, especially after hours! Next Level Urgent Care is your trusted local partner throughout Houston and the surrounding areas. From newborns to nanas, our staff is ready to provide top-quality care from 9am – 9pm, 7-days a week.

Elizabeth Baker
Elizabeth was raised in Houston and met her husband Ryan shortly after graduating from Texas A&M with a journalism degree. A few years later, Grayson {Sept 2010}, turned Elizabeth’s world upside down, not only with his sparkling blue eyes and killer smile, but with his profound disabilities and diagnosis of Mitochondrial Disease. After two years of navigating the world of special needs parenting, Elizabeth and Ryan were blessed with Charlotte {Jan 2013} and Nolan {Sept 2015}, perfectly completing their party of five. Elizabeth and her crew live in Katy, and when she can steal a few moments for herself, she can be found out for Mexican food and margaritas with girlfriends, binge-listening to podcasts and audiobooks, or trying once again {unsuccessfully} to organize her closet. In addition to her role as Managing Editor of HMB, Elizabeth writes about faith, politics and special needs parenting for publications like Scary Mommy and HuffPost.You can connect with Elizabeth on Facebook,Twitter, Instagram, or ElizabethKBaker.com
