Hey Macaroni KID families,
First off, I owe you an apology for the delay in this week’s newsletter. Life has been a bit of a whirlwind lately. Between juggling work, family, and everything in between, things have been more than a little chaotic.
Our oldest has been dealing with some medical issues, and with her being over seven hours away, it’s been tough on this mama’s heart. Today, I made that long drive, eight hours of thinking, praying, and trying to wrap my head around life, bills, kids, my husband, and what the next steps might look like for our family.
Sometimes, life forces us to slow down and take stock of what really matters, even when it’s messy or uncertain. And while I try to keep things light and fun around here (because who doesn’t need that as a parent?), I also know that we all have those weeks where things just feel a lot.
So thank you, truly, for your patience, understanding, and continued support of Macaroni KID. This community means so much to me. It’s not just about sharing local events or fun family ideas, it’s about being real, supporting each other, and reminding ourselves that we’re not alone on this wild parenting journey.
The newsletter is coming, full of fun fall happenings, family activities, and some smiles I hope brighten your week.
Until then, hug your kiddos tight, take a deep breath, and remember, it’s okay to pause.
With gratitude,
Miranda
