Letter from the Editor

September 28, 2016

Sure I find out about all of these great events and share them with you, but this newsletter and website are just as much yours as they are mine. So go ahead and make it work for you! 

So have you noticed the little plus sign after each event along with its "My Macaroni" tagline? Have you tried it yet? It's a great feature! When you see events that you are thinking about heading out to, click on that plus sign. Then click on "My Macaroni" found in the pink bar across the top of our website and ta-da!!... you'll get a customized calendar that you can print out, stick on your fridge, carry with you, or even email as a PDF. Super convenient for the moms and dads on the go, or forgetful moms like me that can remember some general information but not specific details like time and location. You can also add events directly to your Google calendar by clicking the light blue "Google Calendar" box.

And that's not all! In addition to our local Bloomington-Normal Macaroni Kid Newsletter, you can sign up to receive as many as nine additional emails from our parent company. These include a Macaroni National Newsletter that is full of family-related articles, a Family Travel Newsletter, a Family Safety Newsletter, a Macaroni Kid EATS! Newsletter that has tons of great, kid-friendly recipes, Macaroni Stork for moms-to-be, Macaroni Military Family, Macaroni Family Fitness, Macaroni Dad (yes, for dads!), and The Local which offers business tips.  If you would like to receive any of these or opt out of one, email me at MelissaA@MacaroniKid.com and I can modify your subscription preferences to fit your tastes.

And as always, if there is something you would like to see in an upcoming newsletter, let me know.  I want to make sure you enjoy receiving Macaroni Kid as much as I enjoy putting it together!


Enjoy your macaroni!
