Hello, 2018! Welcome to the New Year.
I love January 2. I like what feels like a fresh start. But, more than that I love returning to a schedule and a routine. Now that we are all back into the swing of things it looks like tomorrows predicted snow storm will throw us off again. What about you, do you love January 2 or do you wish you could bask in the Holiday glow a little longer?
As I hit the ground running in 2018 I can't wait to share with you all that Macaroni Kid has to offer. I have contests, guides, reviews, and much more planned on paper and swirling around in my head. My goal is to connect you with the best family fun happening right here in our own backyard. There is so much that I am bound to miss something. Anytime you have an event, article idea or want to connect with other Macaroni Kid families, please reach out to me. I would love to hear from you. VictoriaR@macaronikid.com
Here is what you will find in this week's newsletter.
* 2018 Macaroni Kid Bucket List: 20 items that my family hopes to do in 2018. I have included printables of both our list and a blank list that your family can fill out too. Follow us all year long and share your adventures with #MKBucket18 or #MKBL2018
* Book Review - Not a Box by Antoinette Portis: An amazing little book about what you can create with just your imagination. The repetitiveness and easy language makes it a great book for a reader who is just beginning to fall in love with the world of books.
* My Macaroni Why: The story of how I found Macaroni Kid and why I am up every morning before dawn to bring you local family fun.
* #365in2018: One of our bucket list items for our family is to read 365 books in 2018. This is our list of books. Are you or do you know a local children's author who would like their book featured here? Let me know, I would love to share some local works.
* Giveaway!! Timex Telling Time: I thought we would start the new year off right with a GIVEAWAY. All you have to do to enter to win is fill out this Google Doc. Contest Closes on January 18th and you can find the official rules here.
Just like that, we are in the full swing of 2018. May this year and every year bring you joy, hope, and happiness.

Stay Safe and Warm throughout the Storm Tomorrow!
