Notes from the Publisher - 3/9/2020

By Crystal Hoffman - Murfreesboro Mac Kid Publisher March 9, 2020

So. Much. Has. Happened.

I feel like this past week was never ending.  Between birthdays, sickness, housework, Bible study, church, and a vendor show, I am literally spinning.  Not to mention, things on a global level have been entirely insane – with the tornadoes that hit middle Tennessee (which was WAY too close to home) and COVID-19 (yuck…).  On the home front, however, we have been trying to remain grounded and thankful for all the God provides us each and every day.

Since so much is going on, it’s easy to let some of the “big things” happening with Macaroni Kid fall through the cracks but I’m trying really hard to keep on top of it all.  

  • Let’s start with the most time-sensitive: The Incredible Kid Award
    This is my very first BIG giveaway and it has been absolutely awesome to offer you guys this amazing opportunity.  We’ve had lots of new submissions over the weekend, so stay tuned for the announcement of our winner on March 17!
  • New Guides are COMING!!!
    Oh, I am so thrilled to begin setting up my guides for y’all!!  They are going to be A-Mazing My hope is to start putting new guides up starting this month and to keep the train rolling with new guides all the time.  They will consist of Spring Cleaning Vendors, Summer Camps, Back-to-School Helps, Special Needs Resources and more!
  • Macaroni Kid Hosted Events
    Going to a few events this past month has shown me how much value can be found in hosting one.  So, there may be a few cool events that will be presented by Macaroni Kid in the future.  Watch for them!


And, as always, thank you for being so engaging in everything I do!  This is an incredible adventure and I’m so glad that I am able to share it with all of you!
