Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day to all our Macaroni Moms out there. Take the day off and enjoy time with your family, or not, if that's what you want. LOL
Welcome to all our new subscribers. We are only 2 subscribers away from 500! I hadn't even realized that Macaroni Kid Englewood's 1 year anniversary was at the beginning of March. It's been so much running the newsletter and getting out into the community meeting families and supporting local businesses. So in honor of our belated 1-year anniversary and to tip us over the 500 mark, we am running a giveaway. Check the article out and don't forget to leave a comment to win.
It's a busy week and you'll find lots of great events going on in your town. Macaroni Kid Englewood will have a table at Centennial's 5th Annual Spring Fling, (as long as the weather isn't storming) so look for us there.
In this week's newsletter, you'll find:
A subscriber referral CONTEST!
A couple delicious recipes that Moms will love. (Kids and Dads should be cooking them for Mom on Mother's Day though!)
and as always lots of EVENTS!
*Be sure to check the CALENDAR each week for the complete event listings!
And as always, be sure and check us out on Facebook and Twitter for extra events and deals that are added throughout the week!
Have a great weekend!
Deanna :)

Chicken Pesto Pasta Salad
OMG...so good!

I LOVE having the ease of having a chilled pasta salad waiting for us in the fridge when we get home from the pool or zoo or whatever we have done that day. Add the benefit that there is no cleaning dishes and I can’t think of a better quick meal! We eat so much pasta salad, however, that I have had to come up with variations so that we don’t get bored with our ...
