A Note from Your Publisher

Just musings from one mom to another

By Stephanie Horton, MK Tuscaloosa Publisher August 30, 2021

It's that time of year again!  Roll Tide, Roll!  There is an excitement in the air about the returning of football, marching bands, soccer games, volleyball, and returning to school.  This past week I had the opportunity to connect with many local businesses and family resources at the "Graduate Parent Resource Fair" at the University of Alabama, and share what Macaroni Kid is.  It gave me the wonderful privilege to meet parents and their precious children and share the tools we offer at MK Tuscaloosa.  What is that exactly?  You may be asking.

"Macaroni Kid is the nation’s largest single publishing
platform answering the question:

'Mama, what are we doing today?'

for more than 3,000,000 families in
4,000+ communities across the country."

Macaroni Kid Tuscaloosa is a hyper local resource with an events calendar, crafts, recipes, parenting hacks, and a weekly newsletter full of local family fun.  We highlight local businesses, restaurants, nonprofits, schools, and more.  We are your go to for family fun in the Tuscaloosa/ Northport area.  I have lived in multiple states, and each time MK has been where I go to first to learn about events, classes, and fun things for my family to participate in.  If you would like to submit events, after school classes, and family deals click here.


I am currently compiling a Fall 2021 Bucket List of events for families in our area.  If you are hosting a fall carnival, trunk-or-treat, pumpkin patch,  or church event email me at mackidtuscaloosa@macaronikid.com

I would be so happy to highlight your event in the 2021 Fall Bucket List so that families will see there really is so much to do in Tuscaloosa County.  


Finally, I am excited about this upcoming ticket giveaway!  I have a set of tickets I want to share to Jurassic Quest at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex.  The event is happening September 24-26th!   There will be a facebook announcement and details this week about the giveaway!


God bless and Roll Tide!
