January 2020

By Jenna Dennisur, Smyrna Vining Marietta Macaroni Kid Publisher and Editor January 9, 2020


I have dedicated 2020 to truly taking in all the small moments and to making fun memories with my kids. Join me in my New Year's resolution and take time to celebrate each day, no matter how wacky the holiday may seem. For every month in 2020 you can download and print a fun kid calendar and put it on your fridge as a reminder to celebrate a few fun holidays every month with your kids. Download January's calendar here:
