About The Publisher: Kenyon Gatlin

Welcome to Macaroni KID Southwest Houston — your go-to guide for family fun, kid-friendly activities, and local events in Sugar Land, Richmond, Stafford, Missouri City, and surrounding areas!

I’m Kenyon Gatlin, proud publisher of this resource for 2,000+ local parents and mom to a bright, adventurous 20-month-old NICU graduate. Parenthood is a wild and wonderful adventure, and I created this space to make it a little easier for families like yours to connect, explore, and thrive right here in our corner of Houston.

Here, you’ll find:
• Weekly updated family events and activities in Richmond, Sugar Land, Stafford & Missouri City, Texas
Preschool and private-school guides
Kid-friendly restaurants, play spaces, and parks
Holiday and seasonal fun for all ages
Ways to connect with other moms in your area
Exclusive discounts to local family venues
• …and so much more!

In addition to running Macaroni KID, I’m also the Founder and Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant behind Nite Nite Baby Pediatric Sleep Consulting, where I support families locally and worldwide through gentle, personalized sleep training methods that meet families exactly where they are. Helping families find rest, confidence, and connection is my greatest joy.

Southwest Houston is such a vibrant, family-focused community—full of culture, creativity, and heart. I’m so excited to highlight the amazing people, businesses, and events that make our area shine.

Whether you’re a parent looking for fun things to do, a business hoping to connect with local families, or someone new to the area—I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out with local tips, story ideas, partnership opportunities, or any questions at kenyong@macaronikid.com.
