Spring Has Sprung!

By Melissa Basgall, Macaroni Kid Kansas City Kansas - Leavenworth March 21, 2018

You guys! We made it to spring, can you believe it? I don't know about you, but I feel like a different person when the sun is shining, and I can cruise with the windows down and the radio up! I'm pretty sure that one of my elderly neighbors thinks I officially lost it over the winter after yesterday, when I rolled into our cul-de-sac yesterday blaring Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" way louder than anyone should, much less a mom in her mid-thirties. Sorry, not sorry! 


This week we have a couple of super fun articles that are perfectly timed for spring. First up is a new series, Spring Cleaning with Anna from The Retreat. Anna is a military spouse, and mom of three boys, who also owns her own cleaning business, The Retreat. This week she has some really fantastic tips for shaking off winter and getting your home ready for spring. She'll be back the next three weeks with more great tips, so keep an eye out for those great articles in the weeks to come. 


There is also an awesome article from Julie, the owner of Rhea Lana's of the Legends, about the sale coming to the Wyandotte County Fairgrounds on March 31st-April 4th. There's still time to consign, so as you start your spring cleaning this week, start a pile for the sale and head to their website for info on how to get your items in. I don't know about you, but I'm so ready to get my springtime shop on, even for my kiddo. Sundresses, rompers, and sandals-oh my!


A few other quick things--if you missed our Easter Events Guide posted last week, be sure to check it out. There are a ton of Easter activities coming up, the majority of which are totally free or crazy cheap! If we missed something or you have an event to add, don't hesitate to submit it on our events page at: https://kansascityks.macaronikid.com/events/submit. Also, this is the last week to sign on to be part of the Mom Boss Marketplace and receive the full benefit of the year long advertisement. If you are a mom boss like me, or like the ladies listed earlier in this note, sign up! It's an ENTIRE YEAR of advertisement for only $30. You literally do not even have to leave your chair to get great exposure for your business. Here's a link to the info, if you want in: https://goo.gl/forms/EqBJczyib3rofo3F3


Alright, ya'll, have a great week, enjoy this amazing weather, and I'll see you around town!


All my best,

Melissa
