This is a busy week for Macaroni Kid! We'll be at Town Center at Cobb tomorrow night (Thursday, May 10th) for Moms Nite Out. If you're already a subscriber, stop by and say hello! It's a fun event and you'll leave with lots of free goodies too! On Saturday, several Macaroni Kid publishers will be at the Atlanta Baby and Child Expo (I'll be trying to get there between Little League games!). If you're expecting, have friends who are expecting...head over to the Fox Theatre Saturday! Read all about it on the site and save money by purchasing tickets in advance.
So, what are your plans for Mother's Day? Staying in bed all day with a good book? Venturing out with the kids? There are plenty of happenings this weekend and specials for moms too, so make sure to read through the events below, and check in with us on FACEBOOK for daily updates! If you aren't seeing our updates, just add us to one of your "Lists" - if you have them, then you know what I'm talking about.
We're headed up to see MY mom and grandmother with the kids for Mother's Day. And we're all going to the Pickens County Sheriff's Foundation 3rd Annual Stampede Rodeo. Time to pull out the cowboy boots I got last Mother's Day! The boys have high hopes for swimming - we'll have to see if it warms up enough for that...
If you are looking to get away from town for the day, but haven't made any plans, remember it's strawberry picking time. The season lasts through early June, so get out your baskets! Here are a few suggestions (please comment if you have more): Harry Stacy Farms in Dallas; Mercier Orchards in Blue Ridge; Washington Farms in Loganville.
Other business: Don't forget there are even MORE articles after the event listings! This week we have a Bananas Foster French Toast Recipe, information on how to you could win LOTS of bread from Nature's Own, and an important article as well on Food Allergy Awareness Week.
We also have a new camp in the SUMMER CAMP DIRECTORY: Camp Thinkology, being held at Mathnasium in Smyrna. This is a young author's descriptive writing camp. And like many of the camps listed, there are specials for signing up now, and for mentioning Macaroni Kid. Make sure to check out the directory!
Finally, congrats to last week's contest winners:
Floral Creations: Amy L.; Kidz Bop Ultimate Hits: Alison H. and Liz A.; Free Lessons at Moore's Chinese Martial Arts: Danielle H.; and Fantastic Sams Color/Highlighting Treatment: Laura L.
