Family-friendly Local Happenings from Macaroni Kid
Issaquah, Sammamish, Snoqualmie, North Bend and Fall City
"Motherhood is a choice you make everyday to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is ... and to forgive yourself over and over again for doing everything wrong." ~ Donna Bell
What better way to show your appreciation than to make her job just a little bit easier? Make sure all the moms you know are "in the know" about Macaroni Kid Snoqualmie Valley-Issaquah! We've got all the latest and greatest kid- and family-friendly local events - right here in one convenient package. It's even gift-wrapped FREE of charge! There's no easier way to say, "Happy Mother's Day," than forwarding this newsletter to all your mom friends!
Make sure you "like" us on Facebook because that is where each prize will be announced and linked. We also encourage you to LIKE all of our generous sponsors on Facebook! (If you aren't on Facebook, just check the website and you'll find the new prize posted in the afternoon.)
In addition to a NEW prize each day, Adventure Kids Playcare is giving away a $25 gift certificate each day of Mother's WEEK. Adventure Kids wants to give SEVEN local moms the means to take some time for themselves or to make date night a reality! Each winner will receive $25 toward childcare (or summer camp).
Your entry into that day's contest will also serve as your entry to win the prize from Adventure Kids. We will be announcing TWO winners each day!

The first {awesome, generous} prize, sponsored by Rustic Dreams Photography LLC, is posted now. CLICK HERE to view the details and enter now!
You can preview the other giveaways by clicking the links below.
Each giveaway will be moved to just below this article and
