Macaroni Minute

January 16, 2020

How is it possible that we are halfway through January already? I feel like I just finished putting away the Christmas decorations. Actually, I just did. I found a few ornaments in the basement that I missed during my first un-decorating blitz. Now we're being bombarded with Valentine and Easter decorations. Did you see my Facebook post about Valentine trees? I'm a solid no on that one. 

Before we get into Valentine's Day cards and Easter Egg Hunts, let's focus on BIRTHDAYS! My oldest Macaroni has one coming up in March so January, for me, is a great time to start putting some ideas together. Make sure you bookmark the 2020 Birthday Guide as I continuously add more businesses and service providers throughout the year. And don't forget to tell them that Macaroni Kid Chestermere sent you!

Vendor registrations are open for the 4th Annual Summer Camp & Recreation Expo, the early bird pricing ends February 1. This is a great place to showcase your youth summer camps, year-round recreation programs, academic programs, fitness programs and more. Vendor registrations are also open for the 1st Annual Tummies & Toddlers: Prenatal to Preschool Resource Fair. This is an excellent event for businesses and services that target families with children from prenatal to age six. If you are interested in registering for either, or both, of these events please email me at kimmcrae@macaronikid.com

PS: Did you hear the good news? The drop-in toddler program is back at the Chestermere Rec Centre - it starts next Thursday!


Helping you find your family fun,
