WHAT IS MY MACARONI?

Welcome to Macaroni Kid Columbia! We just celebrated Independence Day!!! This year is going by so fast, soon it will be Thanksgiving! You don't want to miss any of the great family fun and that is why Macaroni Kid was made for you!

I am the mother of two very active and creative daughters (9 and 17 years old) and we live in Columbia. Every week, I found that I was scouring the web, papers, local magazines, etc. looking for family friendly events; that's when I came across the National Macaroni Kid website. I loved the idea of having everything in one place and delivered to my inbox every week, FOR FREE! When I noticed that there wasn't one being published in the Columbia area, I could not pass up the opportunity to bring Macaroni Kid back to Columbia and surrounding areas!

I hope that Macaroni Kid has already helped you to find some great activities to stimulate, entertain and exhaust your kids; and if you haven't, don't forget to sign up for our once per week newsletter so you can keep up with everything happening in Columbia and surrounding areas (with listings of the major family-fun events from all over the Midlands) We will never share your information and you willonly receive one email per week from Macaroni Kid Columbia we promise! (You can also choose to receive some great information from our national site, but only if you so choose!) And, remember, if you don't find our newsletter useful, you can unsubscribe at any time! We hope you choose not to, but we certainly understand. You can also re-subscribe at anytime.

Before you go, make sure you check out the amazing calendar features--you can create a calendar with the events you are interested in attending, print it and hang up in the kitchen! (I can't tell you how much this helps to organize my week.) Just click on "Add to My Macaroni" underneath each event you would like to add to your calendar. Once you have done this for all of your favorite events click on the "My Macaroni" link in the menu bar on the left hand side of the website. Click on create a PDF to print! It's that simple!
