Note from the Publisher (8/22/19)

By Tiffany Olmstead, Macaroni Kid Monroe - West Monroe Publisher August 22, 2019

Hi, Macaroni Families!

Welcome to Macaroni Kid Monroe - West Monroe, the very best place for all of the great activities and events for families in and around the Monroe, LA and West Monroe, LA area!

Kids have been back to school for one week, and I am so exhausted.  They are too!  What has been challenging for us is just finding our new routine with different schools for both kids and the school-year bedtime. One thing that I have found helpful is a Handy Checklist for After School tasks that each kid needs to complete.  I've also been referring to our Recipe Box, for quick and easy meal ideas.

Did you know that a cold snap is coming this weekend at the first annual CHILLFEST in Monroe, LA?  Join us as we enjoy activities for the entire family at CHILLFEST, hosted by Discover MWM.

Parents of teenagers: you do not want to miss The Other Digital Divide, hosted by the Ouachita Parish Public Library, on Tuesday, August 27, 2019. It is FREE and open to the general public. Topics include cyberbullying, sexting and other social media dangers.

Inside this Newsletter

The publication date for this newsletter will move from Thursdays to Sunday afternoon between 4-6pm effective Sunday, September 1, 2019.  This will benefit my family so that I may be able to spend more quality of time with them during the many new life changes occurring.
