Ebony London
Ebony grew up in Katy, TX, back when it was more “country roads” than “suburban sprawl.” Back then, Katy had only three high schools and more backroads than places to actually go. Determined to escape her “small town” life, she headed to Washington, DC, where she attended Howard University. It was there she met Richie, her now husband, and some of her best friends—proving that dreams of big cities sometimes come with great sidekicks. After graduation, Ebony and Richie settled in Houston, and she jumped into adult life with the enthusiasm of someone who’s just realized adulting is not a phase. Over the years, she’s tried on many hats—party promoter, volunteer coordinator, social media manager, high school English teacher—but the most fitting one yet is her current role as mother of two: RJ (February 2020) and Quinn (May 2022). Ebony is known for her contagious laugh, her quest to entertain her kids on a shoestring budget, and her tireless advocacy for childhood cancer awareness. On any given day, you’ll find her creating hilariously relatable reels about motherhood, binging reality TV like it’s an Olympic sport, or driving her kids to yet another activity. And if you’re curious about her daily adventures, check out her blog at EbbyLolo.com, where she shares her journey with the same enthusiasm she brings to every new adventure.

  1. Memorial Drive UMC has a brand new indoor playground that just opened in April. It is located on their West Campus in the Journey worship center. They have special play hours- Monday’s 2-4 and Wednesday’s 10-12. (Memorial city area)

  2. Just an aside a lot of kids played in the Garage when we were growing up but, with the chemicals, automatic garage doors and tools most upscale Houston homes have now I would not recommend the garage as a safe inside play spot. We have repair a many a garage door after an expensive play day in the garage. 🙂

  3. Theres a place in The Woodlands/Spring that I think is fairly new. It’s called Kanga’s! We have gone several times. It’s an indoor ac and heated playground with tubes, slides, ball pits, and everything to climb on. Also, includes a pirate ship ride and rock climbing. The food is fabulous as well!

  4. Imagine U in Humble has been closed indefinitely (since June 1). There is a Kanga’s in Humble as well as Candeeland which is located in Deerbrook Mall in Humble.
