Happy October 1! I can’t believe that September has already come and gone - it seems crazy to think how much of this year has just rapidly blown by. While I’m over here rolling out October activities, I have already seen Christmas decorations up in stores! I know that is typical of this time every year but it makes it SO much harder to slow down and enjoy each day when there is so much forward focus. So I’m gonna do my best to bring y’all back to October, ok?! We've got a lot of goodness yet to come!
Over the past few months that I’ve been publishing, I’ve learned that unless you’re already a Macaronian, you might not really understand what Macaroni Kid is or how to use it to best serve you. Or maybe you HAVE been a subscriber for a while but still have never explored the site to it’s fullest potential. Either way, we've created Your Guide to Navigate Macaroni Kid! to help you get the MOST out of using Macaroni Kid. I’d LOVE to know your take on it - did you know you can always reply to the newsletter to give me your thoughts?!
FUN FOR THE FAMILY
Looking to plan your family fun this weekend? The calendar is PACKED with goodness. I think we are going to take the kids to a farm for pumpkin and apple picking this weekend. SO many choices! If only there was a guide to help that.... Oh wait..... you can find the 2020 Fall Family Fun Guide Here!
DATE NIGHT? MOM'S DAY OUT ANYONE?
I also couldn’t help myself because there are so many of my favorite places opening up again, so I included some great FREE and low cost adult/older child activities happening locally.

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our newest Site Sponsor, Mike Pohlot. Mike is the father of 2 beautiful girls, lives in the South Hills, is Pittsburgh’s Hardest Working Realtor and is excited to be working with Macaroni Kid. It's been a pleasure getting to know him, and I am super psyched about the value and dynamic he is going to bring to our MK Family. Please give him a nice warm welcome to the Macaroni family and check out the article he wrote just for us - The Journey
