The Dish on Career, Fashion, Faith, and Family

Recommendations in the City (Houston Peeps)

Hey friends – maybe you wonderful ones not in or around Houston will tolerate a little local business today?

I’ve got some burning questions, and I thought I would ask my Houston peeps for their favorite recommendations or insight?  Feel free to comment here or on Facebook or Twitter or even pop me a note via email.

Alright, whatcha think?

1. I’m going to a ball.  I’m excited, but on a tight budget.  Where in the city could a girl pick up a formal evening gown without the eye-popping price tag?  Maybe a well curated resale shop around town?

 

2. What are the best summer camps for the young elementary set?  I’ve got a good starting list – Glassell School for budding artists, HMNS for any assortment of cool things, Edith Moore outdoor camp, some gymnastics camps… What am I missing?  I’d like to do three different weeks, we don’t need the full summer or the full days covered, but I would like to keep their learning going between kindergarten and first grade.

 

3. What’s your favorite, romantic, dinner in or around town? Or, in the alternative, where’s your favorite overnight stay in driving distance?  We’re coming up on a TEN YEAR wedding anniversary and are going to delay our return trip to Maine until some other time, so we need to do something to celebrate nearby.

 

4. Anyone have a “anything” doctor you love either in the Spring/Woodlands area (where I work) or West Memorial area (where I live)?  I haven’t had a go-to doctor in years and with this dadgum sinus infection that won’t budget I’m realizing I need someone I can call.

What about you locals?  Questions the community can answer?  I love my cleaners and my dentist.  What are other hard things to find?  Affordable family friendly restaurants?  Best place for produce?  Great outdoor weekend outing with the family?  Favorite farmer’s market?  The best pedicure?  What are your burning questions – let’s see if we can get everyone some answers.  I’ve lived in Houston since 2003 but with the constant changes and continued spread, I don’t have a handle on things post kids.

Welcome

Come on in. I have a reservation just for you. I know life is busy. I would love for us to step out for a relaxing lunch but schedules don't always allow. So let's pop open that salad or sandwich sitting in front of our computers, and we'll have lunch right here. A few minutes is all we need to connect to community.
