Hi friends,

Happy Columbus Day!  I'm so glad you stopped by Macaroni Kid Tuscaloosa.  This week looks like it is going to have some wonderful family events for you!  Our community events calendar is just loaded with activities, fall festivals, trunk-or-treats, and more for the rest of October.  AND, it's exciting to see "save-the-dates" for December festivities!  So, keep checking back because the beautiful thing about MK Tuscaloosa is that is it is updated almost daily!  If you are planning for Columbus Day, Griffin Farms is hosting homeschool day, this event is open to the public, on Monday (that's today) from 9am-1pm ($8 per person).  You can also enjoy Super Skate for a "roll" down memory lane.  They are open for the holiday Monday and Tuesday 1-4 pm ($10).  The Kentuck Festival of the Arts is happening this Saturday and Sunday, tickets are still available for purchase.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU!

Hi, I'm Stephanie.  I grew up in North Carolina, and would visit family in Alabama at least twice a year during that time. So even though I'm not technically from here, UA is my team.  Roll Tide!  Some of my favorite memories from those visits were day trips to Tuscaloosa that included shopping and time at CHOM.  I am an online English teacher, homeschool mama, and pastor's wife.  I love spending time with my family exploring our beautiful community.  If I'm not teaching or taking my children to drama, ballet, or soccer, I love going on long walks by the river and trying out all the local coffee shops.
