Weekly chat with the publisher Debra

September 27, 2016
Hello and thanks for being part of Macaroni Kid!

Every week I mention the weather or the season and "where did the week go"? and all that jazz.
It's not always easy to think of what to write.

This week I'd like to do things differently.
First, I'd like to re-introduce myself. I'm a local mom of 3 and I've been in direct sales for 16 years now.I'm also a blogger monthly on socialmoms.com and do some northeast travel blogging on todaysmama.com. Lucky me to get to work from home! The beach is my favorite place to be and I love to travel! 

Next, I'd like to ask YOU for a favor. Do you know any local businesses, services or direct sellers who you think would like the exposure on Macaroni Kid? Will you share this site with them and let them know to e-mail me- debraf@macaronikid.com to chat?  I appreciate you helping us grow this page!


Last, a little TOP 10 list of things to do this Fall :

1) Take a day trip to NYC. Central Park is gorgeous in October and early November!
2) Take an afternoon at a LI beach even in sweatshirts. The fall breezes are so invigorating!
3) Pick a local park and pack the bikes. My kids love to bike through the leaves at Wildwood!
4) Visit the library and sign up for some programs
5) Try a restaurant you've never tried before
6) Make pumpkin bread or pumpkin cupcakes and have with hot chocolate on a cool fall night.
7) Visit the fall festivals going on both out east and locally in our towns! Nothing like hayrides, corn mazes, scary stuff and great food and music!
8) Start a weekend tradition of dinner and family games. If you have a fireplace, do it by a roaring fire.
9) Visit the farmer's markets for local fresh in-season produce!
10) Take out all those old halloween costumes and either sell them or donate them to local parents.

Of course there's hundreds more things to do and I'm sure you have your own family traditions each fall( plus why not find some new ones?)

Enjoy the week!
