Houston Happens is ‘Comin’ in Hot’ and going for gold before summer ends!

HOUSTON ( KIAH ) – First up, we’ll be talking to the parents of our hometown hero, Simone Biles. Team USA took the gold medal in women’s gymnastics, and we want to hear what their parents have to say about it all. We’ll hear about Simone’s journey to the Olympics, the challenges she faced, and how her parents supported her along the way.

We’ll also be talking to the YMCA of Greater Houston about a special program they’re offering that lets you train like an Olympian. It’s a great opportunity to follow in Simone’s footsteps, and the price point is more than reasonable. You’ll learn about the different workouts, the equipment you’ll use, and what it takes to be an Olympian. You wont want to miss Houston Happen today!

Back-to-School with Best Reviews

The school bells have just rung to mark the end of the year, and now they are ringing in the new school year with a list of tasks that need to be tackled. Luckily, Meredith Gallo from BestReviews is here to help. She will be sharing some of the best products to help my kids get a head start on the school year. She’s going to cover everything from the best backpacks to the best lunchboxes and everything in between.
