Weekly Publisher's Note☀️April 22- 28, 2025

By Jodi Lorence, Macaroni Kid Publisher April 21, 2025

🌿🌷Welcome Friends,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend celebrating Easter 🐰! We had a family-filled day with an Easter basket hunt, egg hunt, great company and delicious food. What more could I ask for? With Easter came nicer weather. It looks like we should mostly be in the 60's this week with chances of rain. Don't you just love the green grass and the budding of the perennials trying to pop their heads out to say hello and bring beauty for the season? I just love all the colors of spring. 

I am continually adding events to the events calendar so be sure to check back if you are looking for family fun events and activiites. Did you know you could add events too? If I am missing an event that you feel other families may enjoy you can submit it HERE and I will approve it for you if it fits within our parameters.

I really appreciate you all. Thanks for supporting Macaroni Kid - South Metro. You are the best! We would love it if you would share our resource with others that may be interested. 

Have a wonderful week~

Jodi 🔅
