Quick Easy Lunch (aka SnackLunch)

Macaroni Menu

I'm lucky that my 3 year old is not a picky eater, but she does get a little fussy sometimes if food is mixed up, mushy, or hard to keep on a fork. Her favorite thing to eat is anything with her hands! This lunch is one of her favorites because she can help me get it ready by loading up the plates. She has dubbed it "SnackLunch." Which means, "I don't need a fork!" I had a hard time getting a picture because she kept snitching pieces ...

Safety First

Help keep our kids safer

I am a HUGE fan of The Little Gym of Pittsburgh. They have been a longtime sponsor of Macaroni Kid, and I have taken both of my children there for years now. We love it there! What we don't love is crossing the parking lot to get in. I've come in and left with parents and have heard lots of comments lately about how bad it is at the crosswalk. I always agree. IT IS INDEED A CROSSWALK but you'd never know it. Cars don't stop ...
