Note from Your Publisher: You Time!

By Heather Leigh Carroll-Landon, PhD - Publisher Macaroni Kid, Henderson-Boulder City, North Las Vegas, & SW Las Vegas January 29, 2021


Hey everyone!

Is it just me, or is January taking for ever to end? This month is just dragging on and though I want to cherish every moment with my family, I do want this month to end so we can move forward with the amazing things planned in 2021. With that said, I have so many things planned for our Macaroni Kid North Las Vegas community that I feel my to-do list is just as long as January is taking to end. Which reminds me just how important it is to take time for myself now and then. 

Taking time for you does not mean you are being selfish. It just means you need to take some time to unwind and refresh yourself. Doing so makes you mentally clear to help family and enjoy the memory making activities you do together. My 'me time' usually involves taking a long walk alone, reading a book, or meditating. What does your 'me time' look like? No matter what you do, remember to this is your time and you should be doing something you enjoy. 

Until next week!
