I don't know about you, but it has been one busy summer for us! I just realized this week that we only have one more week left of summer (vacation). I have mixed feelings about the end of summer, as I am sure most moms do! My oldest really needs to get back to school (and my house will be so much quieter), but it comes with a long drive to school every morning and nights packing snacks and lunches (and actually missing all the noise)! My younger daughter will be in her second year of preschool this year, and I'm already having anxiety thinking of the anxiety she had last year! My oldest will be in first grade this year and she is excited to go back to school (as long as she doesn't get the dreaded "meanest first grade teacher"!).
Along with the routine of school, we will be returning to a better routine with Macomb Macaroni Kid. This was the first summer we were unable to attend any outside events to meet families. We missed you! We do have some plans in the works for some fall events, though, and hope to get out to meet some of our Macaroni families soon. We'll be teaming up with some of the other Macaroni Kid publishers in the Metro Detroit area next month for the FARE Walk for Food Allergy. Look for more information about this event in next week's newsletter.
You'll find that many of events are winding down this week as the kids prepare to get back to school. Keep your calendars open for next Friday, August 29th! Goldfish Swim School will be hosting a Back To School Splash Family Swim Event and you'll want to be sure to check it out! They will be offering special raffles on swim lessons and back to school supplies.
Last, don't forget to be on the lookout for Rennaisance Festival ticket giveaways! We still have plenty of tickets to give away!
I hope you all have a wonderful week and enjoy this last week before the hussle and bustle of school days begin!
