Our kids were excited to be outside a lot this past week. With the events at Green Chimneys and the two days at the Hudson Valley Fair, we were thrilled to see all the smiles and giggles coming from the kids. Thank you to our readers that stopped by and said hello and made bracelets either with me or with my Macaroni Kid partner, Tracy. Tracy was at Putnam Hospital Saturday afternoon with her children, very much enjoying the beautiful weather I was also enjoying.
Plus Tracy's son Jared and his friend attended the Precision Academics Math Lab at Patterson Rec on Saturday evening. Tracy sent me a text that night that, per her husband, her son LOVED the math lab (and yes, Eric used all capitals).
We wrapped up our Macaroni Kid week by celebrating my husband's birthday yesterday. I don't know who was more excited for the remote control bird present he received.....my husband or my almost three-year-old. Whatever it takes to get the group outdoors more works for me, though. ~ Sabrina
As always, here's a packed newsletter for you:
Cancer Series: Ever have a friend or family member try to quite smoking? I always aim to be a good supporter and cheerleader, but sometimes I struggle on the right thing to say. So here are dos and don'ts for all of us wanting to support those around us. The article also includes information on the local Relays for Life coming up next month. Click here to read more.
Heart Series: We've continued our Heart Series compliments of the American Heart Association. We love our restaurant foods, but somehow the portions at restaurants seemed to have encroached on our plates at home. So here are some great pointers on proper portions. Click here to read more.
