Macaroni KID New Iberia Recommends

By Tracie Ysaguire, Publisher for Macaroni KID New Iberia May 12, 2023

It's all about the moms this week as we head into Mother's Day weekend. We have crafts, printables, resources, and our gift guide for you to dive into in this week's edition. Be sure to check out our event calendar as well for upcoming events around town. 

Speaking of the moms, who is your favorite television sitcom mom of all time? I have a few, and I may be showing my age with some of the ones on my go-to list, but they each are still some of the most memorable moms of all time. Check out 13 of the best sitcom moms and what they teach us about motherhood. Tell me who your favorites are!

There is a deal of all deals happening this week if you are a music lover like me! Live Nation kicked off Live Nation Concert Week yesterday offering you the chance to get tickets to some of the top shows around for only $25 tickets. Check out the list of shows, we have several in Louisiana but you can always make it a getaway summer vacation plan too! Check it out soon because the deal ends on May 16th. 

If you are like us and love your Taco Tuesdays but are getting bored with the same old tacos, check out our recipe this week Flavorful Twist on Taco Night: Grilled Pork Tacos & Pineapple Slaw for a new spin on dinner. 

This weekend we are headed out with Louisiana Spirits again to investigate some more locations for our New Iberia Haunts series this summer. We will report back later this month with the details of what we uncover with the team at Victor's Cafeteria and The Chamber of Commerce office on Main Street. 

Now, on to our recommendations for your family fun this week:
