Happy Holidays and More!

By Ellen DeFrancesco, Publishing Mom of This Newsletter April 9, 2014

We cover the following towns: Long Beach, Oceanside, Rockville Centre, Island Park, Lido Beach, Lynbrook, East Rockaway, Baldwin and Freeport.

This week's newsletter is full of ideas and fun things to do with the kids for the holidays and over the school break.  I will not be publishing next week so check the events calendar and our Facebook page for updates.  I'm constantly adding new events as I find them so check back often.

My daughter, Chloe, turned 7 last week and we had her birthday party at Chocolate Works Rockville Centre.  Fantastic party, unique idea and my daughter had a terrific time.  Click HERE to read my review (and see some pictures thanks to the talented Leslie Renee Photography.  How many times after a whirlwind of a birthday party do you come to realize you have taken a total of two pictures and one of them is out of focus?  Fret not dear readers I do it all the time and this year I wised up.  For Chloe's first birthday party we contacted Leslie to take professional photos so FINALLY I would have amazing pictures from our special day and we will ALL be in them.

Macaroni Kid is busy in April, please join us at the All Kids Fair during the day (code mackid2 save you $2 off admission) and join Macaroni Kid at the Lizard's lacrosse game that same evening helping us raise money for the March of Dimes.  A portion of each ticket is donated back to the charity.
