A Note from Your Publisher

Happy Mother's Day

By Sandra Ozaki, Publisher Macaroni Kid North Little Rock, Arkansas May 9, 2020


Where ever you may be this Mother's Day, we'd like to wish you a day of happiness, peace of mind and time to enjoy with your family. For those of you who have gone back to work or have been essential workers and frontline healthcare staff battling incredible challenges these past few months, this is an especially poignant day as our communities continue social distancing.


Restaurants are set to reopen for dine-in service on Monday and other businesses such as salons and retail shops are beginning to resume operating. But it is a personal choice for many to begin resuming life as usual. For those with health issues or younger or older family members, erring on the side of caution would seem prudent. Our own household has mainly teenagers who are healthy and active, yet we are continuing to social distance as much as possible while still going for walks and getting fresh air. Masks are much more commonplace in stores and while out and about.
