Darla's Dialog - Nov. 3, 2022

Hello November - Ready or not here we come.

By Darla Winstead - Publisher of Macaroni Kid Annapolis November 4, 2022

Hi Friends,

November brings with it yummy food, election day, lots of football, family gatherings, and several days off school. It's a time we reflect on our blessings and give thanks. I know my family and I have a lot to be grateful for. It's also a time to give back and help others. What are you going to do in November? 

Macaroni KID Annapolis is here to help you Find Your Family Fun! Our events calendar is full and we add to it often. In our weekly e-news and on our website we will share recipes, activity ideas, parenting tips, and connect you with local businesses and organizations. Share MacKID Annapolis with other families.   


Clock Change       

This weekend we move our clocks back one hour to give us more daylight in the evenings. If you missed it last week, we shared an article written by a sleep expert to help your family through the transition. Read Sleep Expert Offers Tips on Helping Kids Adjust to Time Change


Halloween Fun

Did you see the pictures on Facebook taken during our 2022 BOO Bag deliveries and at the MacKID Bowie-Crofton-Odenton Trunk-or-Treat at the Baysox stadium? Macaroni KID Annapolis participated in both and we had so much fun. I needed a few down days to recover. Several of our BOO Bag sponsors are offering free classes and product discount codes. Check them out in MacKID Annapolis BOO Bag Wrap Up - 100 bags delivers, 10 sponsors to thanks, Discount codes for you.


Holiday Extravaganza (formerly known as Holly Jolly Holiday Party)

Save the Date: Dec. 10th from 10-2 at Caliente Grill in Annapolis, event will be limited to 150 children

Plans are coming along nicely for my first big event that I'm throwing at the publisher of Macaroni KID Annapolis. We are going to have crafts, hot cocoa, special guests, giveaways and more. It is going to be so much fun!

I'm looking for entertainment.  If you have a dance group, choir, or other entertainment that would appeal to kids of all ages, email me A.S.A.P.  I'm also looking for a great face painter at a reasonable price. 

Volunteers Needed!  

Business Sponsors Needed! 

More info to come and family sign ups will start in a few weeks.


Until next week ... Peace, Love and Macaroni!
