Happy Father's Day Macaroni Dads!
Happy Father's Day to all our Macaroni Kid Dads out there. I hope you enjoy your big day as much as us Moms enjoy ours!
A great big hello to all our new subscribers from the Touch a Truck event at the Family Sports Center. Wasn't that a really fun time?

Daddy's Footsteps Gift
Macaroni Celebrates

I am so excited this year to have come up with a gift that I believe does just that!! I enlisted the help of a wonderfully talented photographer.
My mission was to capture my kids wearing their Dad’s shoes! These aren’t just any shoes though… my husband was in the Army and served in Iraq and ...

Father's Day Gift Ideas
Macaroni Celebrates
Father's Day gifts are always a struggle. Dads have it easy on Mother's Day -- flowers, jewelry, a beautiful trinket, a few hours of quiet time -- we're easy to please. But Father's Day gifts are hard. Do we go sentimental? Do we go manly? Do we encourage a new hobby? (That hardly ever works out for me... the beer making kit is STILL sitting in the basement two years later and don't even get me started on the Dremel tool.)
