10/5/2020 ~ Weekly Publisher Note

By Jodi Lorence, Macaroni Kid Publisher October 5, 2020

Welcome Back,

I have taken a small break from this site but I am back. Included in this week's newsletter is some big news regarding Macaroni Kid. I will let you read the excitement for yourself but be sure to check it out. 

We have all gone through so much during this pandemic and have miraculously adapted to and found creative ways to make a new normal.  The changes that have been made to educate our children, drive by birthday parties, social distancing practices in place so we can still go out to eat and shop, changes in practices when we visit the doctor or dentist, outdoor events in place of indoor events, etc. The list goes on! We want what is best for our families while remaining vigilant and safe from this virus that has killed so many. I wish you and your family well and together we will make it through this and hopefully will have learned something along the way.



"Start every day with a new hope, 

leave bad memories behind 

and have faith for a better tomorrow."



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 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 Have a great week!
