Happy Labor Day, Houston moms!
Fun fact :: Did you know that this holiday was first established to celebrate workers all throughout the United States? Well…we can’t quite think of ANYONE who works harder than us moms – so by goodness, let’s CELEBRATE! Here are TONS of ideas and resources to help you enjoy this day! Ready? Here we go…
- With just a few weeks left of summer, it is the PERFECT opportunity to check off those last few things on our out of control summer bucket list…or take a cue from Bre and hit up one or two of the splash pads throughout Houston!
- The long weekend also makes for a great opportunity to take a staycation or explore different parts of Houston that you might not typically visit. Like a day trip to Beaumont with suggestions courtesy of Andrea or a walk all around The Heights like Bre!
- Or you could head to the coast! If you are making your way to the beach this weekend, be sure to check out Jessica and Sarah’s tips and tricks for the perfect Galveston staycation AND Becky’s list of ideas for a day trip too. {Both are packed full of info – so be sure to read them both!}
- Feel like just staying in and making this weekend low key? We don’t blame you! And my 20 creative indoor play activities will keep your kiddos busy for HOURS while you and the hubs sit back and relax. Or you could use this time to do something nice for others with Jenn’s fun printable heat wave activity too!
- Want to celebrate America this weekend? Amy’s got you covered with a slew of simple patriotic cooking and craft ideas and Lauren’s 4th of July on the fly suggestions can easily be adapted for this holiday weekend too!
- Need some meal inspirations to feed the masses all weekend? {Or just a new recipe for you and the family!} Try Tiffanie’s summer salad recipe, Jenn’s healthy wings, Amy’s super easy spaghetti and meat sauce, or Andrea’s homemade pizza!
- Don’t forget that ice cold adult beverage to wash down all those yummy eats! My suggestions? Andrea’s top shelf margarita or my perfect white wine sangria! Speaking of which, is it 5 o’clock yet??? Cause mama is ready for a drink after this long, crazy week!
- Can’t forget about the kiddos! Bring them in the kitchen with you to whip up Jessica and Sarah’s homemade popsicle recipes or Jana’s summer smoothie recipes! They are both guaranteed crowd pleasers for kids and parents alike – plus, they are packed with fruits and veggies too!
- Traveling west this long weekend? Remember I’ve got a great guide to traveling San Antonio! Or if you are headed somewhere else, be sure check and see if we have a sister site {just like HMB – but in a different city} there too!!
Phew! Told you we got you covered. We are off to make new memories with our little ones and soak up some sun now. See ya tomorrow, mamas!!!
