One Year Later ❤️
One year ago, I took a leap of faith and became the publisher of Macaroni KID Clinton–Warrensburg–Sedalia–Whiteman AFB.
At the time, I wasn’t entirely sure where the journey would lead.
What I did know was that I wanted to create something meaningful for local families.
Over the last year, I’ve had the privilege of sharing community events, highlighting incredible local businesses, celebrating family-friendly spaces, telling stories that matter, and connecting with families throughout our area.
As a mom, veteran, business owner, and sensory advocate, this role has become so much more than a newsletter.
It’s become a way to help families discover opportunities, build connections, and feel a little more supported in their everyday lives.
To every reader, sponsor, business owner, event organizer, and family who has followed along—thank you.
Your support has allowed this publication to grow into something I’m incredibly proud of.
And honestly?
I feel like we’re just getting started.
Here’s to another year of family fun, local adventures, community connections, and making sure every family feels welcome at the table.
