Sample Post: Things to do in Houston today, and this weekend, with kids!

Plan out another great week and weekend, in Houston, with kids! This weekly events list is brought to you by our sponsor, YOU!

Enjoy the theater with kids… with The Wizard of Oz at Main Street Theater, Garbage Island 3.0 at the Rec Room and the Express Theatre’s Hilltop Festival for Children at Miller Outdoor Theatre.

Watch some baseball with the Astros vs Twins at Minute Maid Park and the Skeeters vs Barnstormers at Constellation Field. Both events are great, but the Skeeters games are very family friendly, you can find some discount tickets on affiliate Goldstar and on Sunday, you can get free tickets for READING!

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
