A Note From Your Publisher

By Lacie Dooley, Publisher of Athens Macaroni Kid July 10, 2019

 

How is it already the second week of July!? This Summer has flown by. My oldest child will be starting Pre-K in just a few weeks, and I'm already stocking up on the tissues. Now is the time to check off those Summer Bucket list items that are left. I still want to have one more trip to the movies, join a family day at the Georgia Museum of Art, and visit Bear Hollow Zoo. Don't forget to make sure you have a good combination of snuggles and resting at home with your planned activities.
