Welcome to Bloomington-Normal Macaroni Kid!  Here's some information to help you get the most from our site!
 
Manage Your Subscriptions
With your free subscription to Bloomington-Normal Macaroni Kid you will receive a weekly email with all the family-friendly events and activities happening in our community from me, the publisher of Bloomington-Normal Macaroni Kid. The email will be sent from MelissaA@macaronikid.com (to ensure you receive our newsletter please add this address to your address book). 
 
When you subscribe to Bloomington-Normal Macaroni Kid you also have the option to subscribe to up to 6 national newsletters including Macaroni National Newsletter, Family Travel Newsletter, Family Safety Newsletter, Macaroni Kid EATS Newsletter, Macaroni Stork and Macaroni Military Family Newsletter. If you opted to receive the national newsletters from Macaroni Kid headquarters, you will receive these monthly and they will come to you via our national publishers. If you decide to continue receiving any or all of the national newsletters, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If at any time you choose to change your subscription preferences, please email me at MelissaA@MacaroniKid.com and I can add or remove you from any of the newsletter lists.  I can also update your email address on any of the newsletter lists.
  
My Macaroni Feature
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. Go ahead and make it work for you!

So have you noticed the little plus sign after each event along with its "Add to 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" towards the top left of the website and ta-da!!...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!
