4/8/2020 ~ Weekly Publisher Note

By Jodi Lorence, Macaroni Kid Publisher April 8, 2020

Hello friends,

Wishing you all a happy holiday weekend. For most of us we will be at home with our immediate families as we are not supposed to get together with groups of people. This week I am trying to come up with ways that the kids can still enjoy Easter. We will have our egg hunt, a good meal, dessert, playing outside, and then maybe play games. I wish you and your family a very Happy Easter!

I will continue to add activities that you can do at home with your family during the stay at home order that is still currently through the month of April. I hope you are all finding ways to pass the time and stay healthy. I have been trying to make the most of it by playing outside with the kids, playing games, cleaning my house and doing some organizing that needed to be done. I do have to say that I miss my family and friends but know that in time we will be able to see them again soon. Stay safe everyone!

Coronavirus Update!

We are doing our best to stay on top of event cancellations.

Please check the venue for event updates before heading out. Don't forget to explore our Articles and Guides to Find Your Family Fun! I have not removed events from the calendar but please know we will stay focused on updating events once we are told that it is safe to bring your kids and families out to events again. It is important that we follow the guidelines set out by our government officials. Here is a great handwashing video to help prevent diseases like the Coronavirus. Here is a link to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention for information regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and more at Whitehouse.gov and the Minnesota Department of Health.


Thanks for your support as we continue to stay focused on our families while providing you with at home activities to use as a resource if you are looking for ways to fill your days at home with the kids. 

I will be sharing resources on our Facebook Page too so be sure to check it out.

Stay healthy and Happy Easter.
