A Note from the Publisher

By Melissa Basgall, Macaroni Kid Kansas City Kansas-Leavenworth April 4, 2019


I don’t know about you, but between work, play, and making some fun things happen for Macaroni Kid, it has been a busy week in our household! I can’t complain too much, because although the week has been busy, it’s been fantastic.

On Saturday, Anna from The Retreat Cleaning Service came out to our home. She cleaned our disgusting beast of a house from top to stinkin’ bottom, and it has never been cleaner...ever! And guess what? Because the house looked so amazing when Anna finished, my husband has actually been cleaning up after himself this week so that it stays this way. Winning! 

Monday, Everly had her first lesson at Emler Swim School of Kansas City - Westwood. We’ve done swimming lessons in other places in the past, but I feel really optimistic about what I saw at Emler. Everly was smiling and laughing the whole time, but while she was laughing, she was swimming! I can’t wait to see what her progress is like over the coming months.

Tonight we get to go to Disney on Ice at the Sprint Center. Everly’s cousin is coming in town, so the two of them will get to spend some quality cousin time and enjoy the show. They are both big into Elsa and all that, so it should be a blast. Then, they’re going to stay the night and we’ll head to the Kansas City Zoo in the morning.

I hope that you are enjoying all kinds of fun activities with your kiddos this week. Remember that we have a full list of events on the website. The list in this newsletter is just a quick snapshot, you’ll have to head to the calendar of events for a complete list. If you’re looking for fun this weekend, there are a few events listed in our Easter Activity Guide!

In this newsletter you’ll also find the 2019 Macaroni Kid Kansas City Kansas - Leavenworth Summer Camp and Activity Guide. There are some really great camps and activities listed, so you’ll definitely want to check it out. You’ll also see all the great info for consigning and selling with Just Between Friends of Shawnee/Kansas City. Lastly, there is another article with some great tips from Anna at The Retreat Cleaning Service, as part of our Spring Cleaning Series.
