Where is the Macaroni Kid Lady and Why is She Giving Stuff Away?

By Jess Searcy October 13, 2017

UPDATE 10/16/17:  It is Monday night and I'm up late making sure the newsletter is ready to go out as scheduled, Tuesday at 8 pm.  This is "the Note From Your Publisher" for this week!  I've been having an AH-MAZING time exploring Long Island, meeting other publishers face to face and soaking up as much Macaroni love and inspiration as I can, before I head home on Wednesday.  Now that everyone is all together in one place, it can be a bit overwhelming, I have to admit.  Sometimes I have to go hide in my room and let my ears rest from the cacophony of 140-ish women, and a handful of men, in one room.  But it is oh-so-fun and I'm learning oh-so-much!  Tomorrow, we have a morning of speakers, and then an afternoon getting out and exploring the area a bit more.  I'm going on a hike at a local state park!  I can't wait to share all the fun things for families in the Long Island, NY area I have discovered.  Until then, I'll keep sharing on social media, and if you haven't heard about the Bag O' Swag I'll be bringing back to share with one lucky reader, read on!  Hope you are having a great week!

You may not realize it, but Macaroni Kid is a national organization. There are over 500 editions of MK across the United States, and now, even in Canada. Every year, we're all invited to Macaroni Kid Meet Up. Four days of getting to know each other, traveling within the chosen city, swapping great ideas and attending sessions geared towards making your MK edition the best it can be. This year, we're going to New York! I'm excited because I've never been to Long Island,and it is also where Macaroni Kid got started!  It is also my first meet up!

This is supposed to be an amazing family destination that you may want to go to yourself someday.  So follow me on social media.  I'm also going to share the wealth with you. I'm going to be giving away a swag bag of amazing goodies I get from all the Macaroni Kid sponsors and there's a lot of it. Don't miss out! Make sure you like MKSB on FACEBOOK, follow us on TWITTER, and keep up with me on INSTAGRAM as that's how I'll be posting the giveaway.
