I would be remiss to not mention the significance of this day 20 years ago. I had been a mom for all of 4 weeks when the planes hit the twin towers. I lived through the Challenger explosion, but will always remember 9/11. I had been to the World Trade Center only 18 months prior, so it hit me especially close. As the camera views went through the rubble, I could still remember where I had eaten lunch and picked up souvenirs. Then seeing it all crumble on TV as I held my newborn baby boy. That newborn baby boy now towers over me, works full-time, asks for advice and helps keep his little sisters entertained. So, as the announcer reminded us tonight, hold your babies tight, and spend a little more time being kind to your neighbors. There are a few events happening today to help commemorate the day.
I’ve been publishing Macaroni KID Clintonville for almost 4 years now. I miss seeing everyone’s smiling faces and coming up with a fun craft for the kids to do at each event I was at. It’s also been almost 4 years since I started working for a local ambulance service. So, while I absolutely love seeing the kids and watching their excitement as they create something new, we’re going to stay the course and continue with take-n-make crafts at events that we’re at. We’re also limiting events that we’re at. I recognize that our target demographic is in the more vulnerable group and both my husband and I work in a higher risk group so, with those things combined, we’re being a little more cautious. We will be at Fall Frenzy in Clintonville, but we will not be staffing the Kid Zone. My booth will have a contactless option and we’re working on a fun way to get you the crafts in case you want me to keep 6-feet away. So, now more than ever word-of-mouth is very important. If you enjoy the full calendar of events, recipes, crafts, books suggestions and deals, please tell your friends. Here are a few tips to make sure you're getting the most out of the website.
Because things are remaining so uncertain, I am continuing to offer a wide selection of things to help you find your family fun, whether you’re ready for in-person events, want the virtual events or just want to do something fun on your own. We’ve got you covered. When you look at the calendar, you'll see a few more options and emojis in the titles. We're trying to make it a little easier to help you find what you're looking for.
Last year, I started offering subscribers my big e-book of crafts as a free gift for becoming a subscriber. If you are a past subscriber and have not received your thank you gift, you can fill out this form and I will get it to you. If you still have your welcome e-mail from me, the link should be there. At the beginning of this year, Macaroni Kid National also started offering a free monthly magazine subscription, each month is a new offer for a magazine subscription varying from 6 months to a full year for free, to current subscribers as well.
So, let‘s take a look ahead at the events that are happening in the coming weeks!
