Giveaway Winners and BOO Updates

By Darla Winstead - Publisher of Macaroni Kid Annapolis October 21, 2022

Hi Friends,

Do you ever feel like there is so much going on, you're spinning? That's been me lately. I love this time of year but there are so many things happening that I feel like I can't keep up. And... colds and flus are being shared freely and my family, including me has had both. I'd love to hear how you keep up with the demands of life. Maybe you have some great ideas we can share with our readers. Send me and email. 

My wish for you - stay healthy, enjoy the beautiful weather and have fun this Halloween!
