We've done it again! This is our fourth Macaroni BABY in four years! Diana and I are thrilled to announce the "birth" of this very special edition. It's cute but not all that cuddly. It demands your attention but thankfully doesn't cry. And we hope it doesn't keep you up all night!
Macaroni BABY is a compilation of local businesses offering 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 - delivering or adopting or fostering - to whom we say, "Welcome to parenthood!" Whether it's your first time or fifth, buckle up for a bumpy, wonderful ride. We'd love to take the journey with you.
If your family is complete, it is also for those of us looking for the best ways to support friends who are having babies. Please don't hesitate to share Macaroni BABY with those friends who are sporting baby bumps or welcomed a bundle of joy in the past year. (There's even a convenient "like" button at the top of this article.)
