Neighbors Night Out 2026

Between Neighbors Night Out and Halloween, October is a pretty hard month to beat. We had a great time last night seeing the whole squad - I hope you did too!

Staying connected with the people in this picture is a big part of staying healthy for our family. The little run-ins with people throughout our days is such a gift. I find a quick walk around the block, which inevitably turns into seeing a friend, is a major mood booster.

In case you missed it, we ran an awesome guide last week with natural-fiber clothing brand, Mellow Mile. They’re running 25% off for Woo readers with code WOO25.

We also did a little recap of our time at Chefs for Farmers, check it out here.

Round Up the Whole Family for Beacon Ranch This Saturday

Some of our favorite family memories happen when nobody's staring at a screen, and that's exactly the idea behind the Family Connection Day at Beacon Ranch. After families loved their mother-daughter and dad-daughter programs, Beacon Ranch opened it up to the whole crew.

Reconnect, communicate, and grow together, with a little help from the horses.

This professionally facilitated morning of ground-based activities with horses helps families build trust, communicate better, and handle life's challenges together. The horses do a lot of the work, so conversations happen naturally, with no forced sharing. No riding or horse experience is needed, and snacks and lunch are catered by Green Fork and Straw.

Join Beacon Ranch in Brookshire on Saturday, October 10, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Spots are limited, so save your family's spot here. *Must be registered by Thursday, October 8 at 7p.

Bonus: win a Turtlebox Cub! Beacon Ranch is giving away a Turtlebox Cub speaker, and there are two ways to enter:

  • Fill out the interest form for 1 entry

  • Confirm your family's spot for 10 entries

Boost Your System Before the Sniffles

Fall in Houston sneaks up on you. One day you're still sweating through carpool pickup, and the next someone in the house has a scratchy throat, and you're staring into the fridge wondering if a couple of clementines count as a plan.

So this week we put together a guide to immune-boosting foods and where to find them locally. Spoiler: there's no magic shot or miracle powder, just good food you probably already like. We're talking citrus (and more than just oranges), garlic, ginger, protein, and yes, bone broth.

We also rounded up the Houston spots that make it easy, from places that'll hand you a warm cup of house-made broth to a market where you can grab bones and veggies to make your own. Plus there's a simple ginger-garlic chicken soup recipe for those first cool-ish nights.
