Congratulations! It's a ... Macaroni BABY! Diana and I are thrilled to announce the "birth" of a very special edition. While it hasn't take us nine months to create (and thankfully we didn't gain any baby weight!), it has been a "labor of love" and we are certainly proud of it!
Preparing for a baby is one of the most exciting times in life. Whether it's their first child or their fifth, parents always need help in preparing for the big day, and the weeks after the little one's arrival.
Macaroni BABY is a compilation of local businesses which offer services and/or products related to pregnancy, parenting, and babies. Our guide is by-no-means all-inclusive, but it is a representation of some of the best local baby businesses out there!
This wonderful resource is meant especially for expectant and new parents. However, if your family is complete, it is also for those of us looking for the best ways to support friends who are having babies.
Macaroni BABY provides important insights from experts, inside scoop on local resources, unique baby shower gift ideas, giveaways, and so much more!
