Well hello Macaroni Mamas (and some papas too). Sheri and I had a super fun-filled Macaroni Kid weekend. On Saturday, we had an amazing time at our Macaroni Kid Carnival held at Sports Club for Kids - NYSC Marlboro. It was so nice to meet so many of our readers and to see all the kids playing together. Click here to view the pics and like us on facebook. Congrats to Nancy DeFalco for winning the NYSC Birthday Party!
Then on Sunday, we got to attend a special Macaroni Kid Brunch at the brand new J & R Jr. store in downtown NYC--a totally cool one-stop destination where you can shop and entertain your kids at the same time! Check out the photos here. And this weekend, they are holding a 2-day Kidstravaganza with FREE balloons, giveaways, food, photos and concerts by kids' music greats Laurie Berkner and Dan Zanes!
Don't you just love our special Macaroni Kid Valentine's Day logo? And boy, do we have a jam-packed Valentine's Day issue for you filled with recipes, crafts, jokes, fun facts, and creative Valentine cards! Oh my, there's recipes for Pink Rice Crispy Heart Treats, Red Velvet Balls, and Valentine's Day Snack Mix. And who doesn't love edible marshmallow crafts like Valentine's S'Mores, and Marshmallow Pops. Plus, check out the Valentine's day craft ideas for marble magnets, wreaths, and homemade heart-shaped crayons. And if ordering the sampler platter at Applebee's is your usual romantic night out, check out these great Valentine's Date ideas.
And finally, step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and enter this week's giveaway for....you got it...a family 4-pack of tickets to see Ringling Bros. and Barnum &Bailey® Presents Dragons. Click here to enter!
Happy Valentine's Day--What did the caveman give his wife on Valentine's Day? Ughs and kisses!
Peace, love, and macaroni,
Merri and Sheri
