Making "My Macaroni" Work For You

A little info on this great feature

By Jamie Twarogowski, Macaroni Kid Lakewood/Littleton Publisher February 26, 2015
Have you spent all week searching the internet, sifting through the papers, only to get to the car on the day of, and not have the address? Then you have to locate a starbucks with a hot spot, park close enough to use the hot spot (or just use those data minutes, darn it!), get out the smart phone, look up the address....only to arrive exhausted, and late.


Macaroni Kid to the rescue! (Dramatic music here)

Lakewood/Littleton Macaroni Kid delivers all of the family fun events happening to your inbox every week.

What is “My Macaroni?”

Have you ever wished to have an extra hour or two in your day? Who hasn't? My Macaroni gives you that each week FREE to your inbox!

My Macaroni is a one of a kind feature that allows you to build your own list of events that you would like to enjoy with your family. MK is oober-local, so instead of getting lists of events from all over Lafayette, you can sign up for the areas that your family is interested in and use the My Macaroni to unite all of your lists.

One paper, with addresses, phone numbers, times, and prices in one convenient list!

Here we go:


My Macaroni
1. Simply, click on the Blue Plus “Add to My Macaroni” button under each event that you might want to check out with your family.


2. When you are done checking out all of your area MK newsletters, go to the “My Macaroni” at the top of the of the screen, and it will take you to your personalized list of family fun events all around the West Metro Area.


3. Next click “Download PDF.” It will make a nice, clean PFD for you to print out or email to friends, family, or event pass out to playgroups so everyone will be on the same page.

TIP: Make your shopping list on the back, and you will have everything needed to walk out the door on one convenient sheet!

Or...are you a Google Calendar kind of gal (or guy) and wish to go the paperless route?

1. Click on the blue “Google Calendar” button next to the event that you want to check out with your family.

2.  The Google Calendar will automatically open with the event information already input...how handy!  All you need to do is click the red "save" button at the top.  The event will be saved in your calendar.  From this page you can set reminders and email friends too!
