Welcome to Aurora Macaroni Kid
Happy Father's Day!
Father's Day may simply be a "Hallmark" holiday, but to me it is the reminder of how lucky I am to have gotten a second chance at knowing how important a dad is. Through the years, I have had three dads. The first left me long ago. The second was actually my mom, who took over the role of mom and dad in many vital years that I needed both. She taught me everything a mom should, and was there in all the times a dad should have been ...

Macaroni Safety
Anchoring Dressers
It is in all the safety guidelines. All the parenting books and magazines. It is even in the instruction manuals. But yet, it is something that is often overlooked, put on a to-do list or simply forgotten about. But not doing it can cause some very severe consequences. I was actually surprised how many people told me they hadn't done it and my story caused them to get it done. Anchoring dressers and bookshelves to the wall.
When we moved, my husband had a honey-do list a mile long ...
MACARONI KID/LIL' ALL STARS CONTEST!!!!
Name the mascot!
Hey all you Lil' All Stars! It is time to name your mascot! You don't have to be a Lil' All Star, all names and ideas are welcome!
Our Lil' All Star is actually the creative process of a local teen, who happens to be the daughter of the Broomfield Macaroni Publishing Mom. Kaylee was amazing and patient and took all of the ideas that were flying out of about three different adults heads. We couldn't even envision what we wanted....but Kaylee sure did. And the second ...
Happy Father's Day Craft!
Hairy Head
My daughter came home from preschool with this adorable little creature. She calls it a " grasshopper." It is her father's day present to "Daddy." He plans to put it on his desk at work to " green it up." Isn't it cute? Here's how you might make something similar! It won't take long to get the grass seeds started, but get a jump on it so he's got LOADS of hair by the time your little ones are ready to "present" him to Daddy!
