Macaroni Kid "Momversation" With Andrea Baer
Getting To Know Inspiring Mac Kid Moms In the Burgh!
This week we got to chat via email with local Mom, Andrea Baer. This Jeannette PA,Mom of 4 is on a mission to spread the word as a Local Coordinator and advocate for Mended Little Hearts of Southwestern, PA. As if having four children isn't enough to be recognized, we felt her dedication to Mended Little Hearts further propelled her into the "I'M AN AWESOME MOM STRATOSPHERE!" For these reasons we felt she deserved to be featured as a local 'Burgh Mom- making things happen!

Macaroni Fun Fact
Memorial Day
The Story of Miss Grace
May Is Melanoma Awareness Month
May is melanoma/skin cancer awareness month. For us, we are aware of it on a daily basis.
I took Grace (our youngest of 3 kids) to see her doctor about a bump on her arm. Everyone kept telling us it was nothing more than a wart. I'm no doctor but it was really bothering me and I had never seen a wart grow like this was. It was obviously bothersome to her because she was picking at it and this caused it to bleed.
The nurse practitioner agreed ...

Eating Healthy In A Toxic World

Do you just give up and throw in the towel and hang up the idea that you could ever be healthy and slender?
Do you just give in to the old lifestyle and convince yourself it is too challenging?

Macaroni Summer Safety - BOO BOO BAG
Our little one is known for lots of super fun things and some not so fun... knee scrapes! Oh yeah, if there is a sidewalk to be run down you will catch our 4 year old running at full speed.

MK Summer Safety - Always Have Your Cell Phone

Every year I love to run this article because it's a simple reminder to all of us parents to remember to include your CELL PHONE in that list of "go items" that you take with you everywhere.

Summer Jammie Stroll
This past week I read an article in a magazine that spoke of various ways to resolve challenges with toddlers, including bedtime. For the most part our nearly 5 year old does ok with bedtime routine, but it does appear over the past few weeks that our household needs to focus a bit more on a wind down routine for her sake…and momma and daddy’s! The one thing that jumped off the page of the story and into my heart was the “Pajama Stroll.”
We implemented this new ...

Summer Road Trip "I Spy" Homemade Book
A Game for the Road
Desperate for something to entertain the children on our upcoming road trip, I wound up shelling out some serious cash this weekend for the double-screen in car DVD gadget; spent time organizing playlists after a download of Pixar and Disney Princess tunes; found an audio book version of the first Harry Potter from my library; and searched the house for my iTrip gadget - which still somehow eludes me. So, why am I still nervous with 16 hours between my house and my destination, and more significantly - 16 ...

(When you are a former teacher, this is always my gig.)I scoured the shelves to find the awesome colored bubbles I had seen advertised.I shelled out way too much money for bubbles but was so excited to see the delight on ...

What if I told you that because you like that bronzed look that you are taking a HUGE risk of getting melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer). Are you thinking that it couldn’t happen to you?
