Second Saturdays are for families at Laguna Gloria with hands-on art-making activities inspired by the current exhibitions on view. From 11 AM – 3 PM kids ages 2 – 11 can enjoy family-friendly performances, meet artists, and even make their own works of art to take home. This Second Saturday the Tiny Regatta is inspired by artist Orly Genger’s seaworthy materials.
Mother’s Day is this weekend and you’ll have a chance to celebrate the ULTIMATE mom this Friday, May 9 at the Mother Earth Day Festival from 9 am – 1 pm in Zilker Park near the Barton Springs pool! We love our city and love any opportunity to learn more about how to take care of it, it’s important we pass it on to our kids.
On Wednesday, May 7 at 7 pm, Austin Moms Blog will be hosting our third Mom’s Night Out and we’re doing things a little differently by partnering with Dishcrawl and City Moms Blog Network!
Are you a mom? Do you love a mom? Do you have a mom? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions then Listen to Your Mother might be the event for you (and your mom).
It’s hard to believe it’s already been ten years since the Mueller development opened in east Austin. Come to Mueller Lake Park on Saturday, May 10 from 10 am – 1 pm to join their 10th Birthday Party.
The Blues on the Green lineup has been announced! Get ready for sweating it out at Zilker Park this summer, all for the love of music, family, friends and food. Concerts start at 7:30 pm, we’ll see you there!
The Round Rock Express season is in full swing and with 70+ home games stretched from now until late summer, there’s no reason to not make it out to a couple. Dell Diamond has everything! Seriously, it’s like a dreamland for parents. Affordable tickets, a Fun Zone and fireworks every Friday, it’s a great way to entertain the family for an evening.
Family life is busy most of the time, and that can mean that fast food is somewhat of a necessity. Lucky for us Austinites, “fast food” doesn’t always mean we have to sacrifice quality. Hat Creek Burger Company uses hormone-free beef that is raised without antibiotics, their nuggets are gluten-free and their milkshakes are THE BEST. Pair that with a fun venue where kids and adults can relax and you’ve got a Feature Family Restaurant of the Week! Do512 Family editor, Jamie Jett, visited with her family, here’s what she thought….
Mamas, there’s much to do and it’s all about YOU this Sunday, May 11. Celebrate Mother’s Day in Austin with some fancy brunches, some mother-themed movies, or perhaps, some painting. Check out what’s going on this weekend and celebrate yourself, you deserve it.
This weekend is going to rule.
