Check out what I think is one of the best features of Macaroni Kid ...................
My Macaroni, as a subscriber you have the ability to check off events that interest you and then will be able to generate a weekly calendar/schedule of events and activities that you don't want to miss out on. You can print it and hang it on your fridge or toss it in your purse. So you have a great print out of all the things you don't want to miss out on!
