A Note From the Macaroni Mama πŸ’


Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week! I know a lot of us are still adjusting to the back to school schedule, doing homework, packing lunches and dreading the daily car-loop line. If this sounds like you, make your life a little easier with our MacKid Mom Hacks: 9 Tips for Packing Lunches

My baby isn't old enough for school yet, so we enrolled him in Gymboree School Skills 1-hour Drop-Off Class. His first day was Monday and he did so good! Tears were definitely shed, but not from him (That's right, this mama was crying over a 1-hour drop-off class πŸ˜‚) He learned about the letter V, practiced tracing it, and made a volcano! This class is the perfect introduction into school and being independent from a parent. I highly recommend you check it out for your pre-schooler! Gymboree will be hosting their School Skills Open House this Monday, August 26th from 5:30pm-7pm. For more info on Gymboree School Skills Drop-Off Class and Open House Week read HERE.
