About Us
Some of our favorite family memories started with a simple question: What should we do today? That’s the idea behind Howdy Kiddo. We explore the Texas Hill Country to find fun things to do, great places to eat, and adventures worth getting out of the house for, so your family can spend less time searching and more time enjoying the day together.
Amanda
Hi! I’m Amanda, a native Texan, Realtor, military spouse, and mom to adventurous twin girls. As a fifth-generation Texan, I love helping families discover the people, places, and small businesses that make our communities feel like home.
Growing up in Texas and raising my family here has given me a deep appreciation for the hidden gems, local traditions, and everyday adventures that are often right in our own backyard.
When I’m not exploring with my girls, you’ll usually find me helping families find a place to call home somewhere in the Texas Hill Country.
Kristi
Hi, I’m Kristi, a homeschooling mama to three energetic kids (9, 11, and 13), physical therapist by trade, and full-time referee of sibling debates. I’ve got a soft spot for places that get bodies moving — climbing structures, hiking trails, anything active — and our family loves to travel, so we’re always scouting favorites both around the Texas Hill Country and beyond. Consider this your shortcut to the best family-friendly spots, from a mom who’s logged the miles (and the mediation hours) to prove it.
Melana
Hey. I’m Melana. I grew up on a cattle ranch in Texas, where I spent my childhood riding horses and exploring the outdoors. I earned a degree in design from The Art Institute of Dallas. These days I combine my love of art and design with my love of road-tripping across Texas. I’m always searching for fun places to visit, hidden gems, and restaurants worth sharing. If there’s homemade pie or a great ice cream shop along the way, even better.
