I'm falling for you Autumn, don't leave us!

Macaroni News for week of October 5 - 11

October 5, 2016
October has not quite decided if it wants to be Summer or Fall in Houston. It was been nice most days with a little bit of cool weather and breeze but lately it seems to get warmer. Gold Daisy nominations have been going on for what seems like forever. And for that I am sorry. I had so many things planned in September that time got away from me. But this time I am cutting the nominations of on Friday. So get your nominations in and there will be a random drawing for $25 gift card to a local business of your choice.

October is also National Bullying Awareness Month. This article provides some ways you can talk to your children about bullying. For younger kids, it may way several discussions to help them understand the concept of bullying. It may be an uncomfortable discussion for some but continue to have open communication with your children and they can be better prepared if they ever find themselves in that situation.

If you saw the first articles in the Business Spotlight series, you read Jenny Gutierrez's AdvoCare story.  This week, I'd like to share Alicia Bowser's story about her journey with Pampered Chef.  Want to be part of the business directory and get featured in an article? Email thaop@macaronikid.com for info.

I'd like to reintroduce you to A Storybook Cottage. For their event Sunday, your little princess can meet Sophia the First.  Find the picture on the right for more information on times. 

I added the Fall Festival Guide to help you plan your family outings. All the events found in the fall festival guide can be found in the calendar. I will continue to work on the links so that you can bookmark them on the site using the My Macaroni option.  Combine that with the Pumpkin Patch Guide and you might just have enough events to entertain the family.
