Welcome to Macaroni KID Lebanon! I’m Your Publisher, Audreanna

Hi, I'm your new publisher!

By Audreanna Brown- Macaroni KID Publisher March 4, 2025

Hi Lebanon families! I’m Audreanna, your new publisher for Macaroni KID Lebanon, and I’m so excited to be here with you. If we haven’t met yet, I’m a fun, spontaneous, easy-going mom of four (including boy-girl twins!) who loves good food, new adventures, and anything that gets my kids and me out exploring. People who know me best would tell you I’m authentic, funny, and always ready to try something new. And honestly? That’s pretty accurate. I love finding hidden gems, local spots, and kid-friendly fun, and now I get to bring all of that right to your inbox each week.

 A little about me as a mom

Motherhood for me is… busy, chaotic, hilarious, and full of heart.

My twins are two and suddenly talking nonstop. Their personalities are shining through in the funniest ways. My five-year-old is in full diva-but-also-mommy s -little-helper mode, and my eleven-year-old? His schedule is busier than mine between sports, friends, and everything else that comes with being a big kid . There is never a dull moment in my house. Not one.

Like most moms, I’m juggling a lot, and trying to get everything done in one day is definitely my super-challenge, but becoming a Macaroni KID publisher has honestly become such a fulfilling outlet. It allows me to bring value to families while doing something I naturally love: finding fun, simplifying life, and building community.

Why Macaroni KID?

Before I ever became a publisher, I was a mom who depended on Macaroni KID to find activities so my kids weren’t climbing the walls by 9 AM. It made life easier. It saved time. It eliminated the “endless scrolling” problem. One day I thought, I already do this for my kids… why not help other families too?”Community events, hidden local resources,and  new businesses. I used them all the time. Being able to share them with other parents feels like the natural next chapter for me.

What You Can Expect From Me

I am here to make your life easier, more fun, and more connected.

  •  Weekly events calendar
  •  Local guides (birthday planning, indoor play, camps, holiday fun all in one spot!)
  •  Giveaways
  •  Honest reviews
  • Behind-the-scenes of exploring with my kids
  •  Real-life mom moments (the good, the chaotic, and the relatable)

I want you to feel like this space comes from a real mom, someone who gets it, someone who understands time matters, and someone who loves building community just as much as you do.

My goal?

To make Macaroni KID Lebanon THE place families go when they want something fun, fast, and easy to plan.

 What I Hope You Feel When You’re Here

  • Inspired
  •  Encouraged
  •  Less stressed
  •  More connected
  •  Ready to try something new
  •  Like you’re not doing this parenting thing alone

Because you’re not. We’re in this together, coffee-fueled, kid-chasing, adventure-finding, and all.

Thanks so much for being here. I can’t wait to explore Lebanon County with you and help your family make amazing memories.

With love, laughter, and probably a coffee in hand,

Audreanna
