This month Macaroni Kid Westfield-Southwick Edition turned 10 years old. Wow! What a ride it's been!
Did you know the Westfield-Southwick Edition was the first Macaroni Kid site in Massachusetts and the 53rd site overall? Now there are 26 editions in Massachusetts and over 1,000 sites across the U.S. and Canada!
In the past 10 years, I've been to hundreds of local events and had the pleasure of meeting many of my readers. I love seeing you out in the community and it always warms my heart when someone recognizes me as the "Macaroni Kid Lady" or just comes up and tells me how much they love what I do. 😊
I went from 0 subscribers to 5,700 and over 1 million page views thanks to all of you!
Our site has given away hundreds of show tickets and other prizes to deserving parents. We have also partnered with tons of wonderful local businesses who have kept your e-newsletter coming to your inbox each week for free. We have provided thousands and thousands of family-fun events so you can find your family fun® from season to season.
I have had the privilege of providing you with travel and product reviews.
I have made so many wonderful friends all over the country within the Macaroni Kid company (family!).
My kids have gone from grade-schoolers to high school and college students. As a matter of fact, one will be graduating from high school and the other will be graduating from college in 2020. 😲
The last 10 years as a Macaroni Kid publisher have been amazing! Here's to another 10! 😁🎉
To celebrate, I have a challenge for you. Many of you know the story of the flying pig and how it became the unofficial symbol for Macaroni Kid. For those who don't, when Joyce, the founder of Macaroni Kid, told her idea of women working together and collaborating on ideas but each in their own territories to a successful businessman, he told her it would work when pigs fly. Well, pigs are flying all up in this company!!
