Hi Friends,
I’m Crystal Rhines, and I’m so excited (and truly honored) to introduce myself as the new publisher of Macaroni KID Cedar Valley.
If you’re anything like me, you want to make the most of these years with your kids — but sometimes it feels overwhelming trying to figure out what’s happening, what’s worth your time, and what fits your family best.
That’s why I love what I get to do.
Macaroni KID Cedar Valley is my way of bringing everything together in one place — the events, the hidden gems, the seasonal fun, the small businesses that deserve the spotlight, and the simple ideas that help families create memories without the stress.
Every week, I share:
• A curated calendar of local family-friendly events
• Easy weekend ideas
• Seasonal guides to help you plan ahead
• Spotlights on local businesses and community leaders
• Giveaways and special opportunities just for subscribers
My goal is to save you time, keep you in the know, and help you feel connected to this amazing community we call home.
For my fellow local business owners — I see you, too. Small businesses are the heart of the Cedar Valley. Through Macaroni KID, I help connect you directly with local families who genuinely want to support businesses right here in our community. From sponsored features to directory listings and seasonal promotions, I offer meaningful, targeted exposure — not just ads, but real connection.
At the end of the day, this isn’t just a website to me. It’s about building community. It’s about making sure families feel supported and businesses feel seen.
I’m so excited to grow this alongside you.
Welcome to Macaroni KID Cedar Valley — I’m so glad you’re here 💛
Warmly,
Crystal
