- I am quite fond of the Macaroni Kid spring logo, can you tell? This is my third week using it for this editor's note. Perhaps I should be using the summer logo considering that the temperature is going to be 80 today!
It looks like the weekend will have more reasonable weather for March with temperatures in the 60s on Saturdays and 50s on Sunday. There may be a slight chance of rain on Sunday. It will be great weather to make this furry caterpillar gardening craft! The nicer weather is also a great time to get every mother's most important "to do" taken care of. Wondering how to go about potty training? Here is an article written by a Macaroni Publisher who also works with patty training kids in a day care. It is rather lovely to no longer buy diapers. I don't think I will ever give up wipes, though.
- Welcome to our new subscribers from the Flanders Nature Center Festival. My husband enjoyed the day but I think we know that next time he will need to bring the tent. He wasn't badly sunburned but he could feel it. And now I have three cute bottles of Flanders' freshly made maple syrup.
