About The Publisher: Leslie Hardwick

Hello Spokane families! 👋

I’m Leslie Hardwick, the Publisher of Macaroni KID Spokane. Tired of scouring the internet and social media to find fun events, activities, and resources for your family? We’ve got you covered! 🎉 From exciting local events to kid-friendly activities, Macaroni KID Spokane is your go-to resource for all things family fun in the area.

As a grandparent raising littles again, I’ve experienced firsthand the joys and challenges of raising children all over again. It was this experience that inspired me to take on the Macaroni KID Spokane website and newsletter, a platform dedicated to providing parents and families like yours with a wealth of local resources, inspiration, and ideas to make family life even more special.

I’m joined by my daughter, Jasmine Zahir, who serves as Assistant Publisher. Jasmine helps curate the most exciting events happening in Spokane and creates fun, informative content for our articles page. She focuses on finding free or very affordable family activities for everyone, along with community resources to support those in need. Together, we enjoy working side by side to connect the community and provide families with easy access to all the fun and resources Spokane has to offer.
