Note from the Publisher 9/23/19

September 23, 2019

Now that we have sent our kids back to school isn't it suppose to slow down? That is what everyone keeps saying. In my case it might be cause only one kid went to school and I still have two at home along with the 3 companies that I run and two jobs I juggle as well. I know life will not always be this busy, and I am trying to enjoy it while I can. I know that as my kids grow up life will start to slow down and I am not ready for them to grow up just yet!  

To share a little bit about me: I have three amazing children, their ages are 7,2 and 4 months. I am new to the publishing industry and I am loving it. I have a background in accounting and still manage to do some, but I wanted to be able to stay at home with my kids and that is why I left my 9-5 job. I am also the franchise owner of Rhea Lana's of Brandon and that is a super fun job! I am native to Florida and my husband is from Pittsburgh. Fun fact I have a twin and we look identical (according to everyone but I don't see it), but we are fraternal. We are just trying to live our lives to the fullest and enjoy our crazy family why we can! 

I wanted to make sure you are getting everything out St Petersburg Macaroni Kid as you can! Have you liked us on Facebook and Instagram yet? If not you should defiantly do that! All of our amazing giveaways are on our social media outlets as well as our website, but occasionally a company will contact me and ask me to do a quick giveaway for them and the best way to do the give away is on social media. Speaking of giveaway have you entered our current one? We are giving away a 4 pack of tickets to Busch Gardens to attend the Sesame Street Halloween events. To enter all you have to do is subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram and Facebook, when you have done this go here find the post about the Busch Gardens Sesame Street Post and comment that you have done this and you are entered! Easy as that! There are lots of exciting giveaways coming up as we head into the holidays and I cannot wait to share everything with you as soon as I am aloud! 

I am working hard on a huge fall guide to keep you in the loop of all the fun fall activates going on and around St Petersburg, so you and your family don't miss out on any fall fun! Stay tuned for that!

Have a great week!
