East Tucson Macaroni Kid is a weekly newsletter and website edited and published by Kindle Rising, an Arizona native with Tucson in the blood.  Although she lived in other parts of Arizona as a child, Kindle grew up visiting relatives in Tucson and moved here herself when she attended U of A for graduate school. 

Although she felt like she knew Tucson pretty well, when Kindle had her first daughter six years ago, she found she had to learn a whole different side to the city. Although there are plenty of things for children to do in Tucson, there is always a bit of a challenge actually finding those things...especially during the summer!  Kindle hopes that East Tucson Macaroni Kid can highlight  kid-friendly events and activities in the Old Pueblo, making it a one-stop place for parents to plan their family-fun events each week.  East Tucson Macaroni Kid is not just a list of activities though, it is a newsletter and blog featuring crafts, recipes, reviews, giveaways, articles for parents, and musings on life and parenthood...all from the perspective of a Tucson mom!
