About The Publisher |
Hi there! I'm Janel, your local Publisher of Macaroni KID Springfield and Macaroni KID Branson. My family and I reside in Southwest Springfield, where I'm a proud mom to four amazing boys ages 2-20! I became the local Publisher of Macaroni KID in the autumn of 2019. We're always on the lookout for engaging activities that cater to all age ranges across Southwest Missouri and beyond. Our favorite family pastimes include hiking, exploring local parks and playgrounds, and enjoying the scenic Ozark Greenway trails throughout Springfield. You may see us around town at local high school marching band events, and at local indoor play places.
I have a passion for writing and I enjoy sharing our family’s experiences and adventures around Springfield and beyond. Beyond Macaroni KID, I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) with a bachelor's degree in nutrition science, and the owner of My Nourished Family. I’m currently pursuing a master’s degree to further enhance my expertise and ability to support families in our community.
About Macaroni KID |
Macaroni KID was started in 2007 by two moms tired of searching for things to do every day with their kids. They started a Macaroni KID site local to their community and then went about the business of finding hundreds of more publishers across the U.S. to do the same thing.
CertifiKID—recognized as the top deal-finding platform dedicated to family fun and founded by entrepreneurial mom Jamie Ratner—acquired Macaroni KID in 2020, skyrocketing its growth and potential. In 2023, CertifiKID aquired Hulafrog. Now, with Hulafrog and Macaroni KID both under CertifiKID's umbrella, local publishers will have more opportunities than ever to both provide you with local event and business information, as well as to bring you great DEALS! The acquisition further solidifies CertifiKID's spot as one of the largest parent-focused digital media and advertising companies in the country.
The partner companies comprise one of the leading parent-focused digital media and advertising powerhouses in the U.S., Macaroni KID and CertifiKID reach more than 3 million families each year across the United States and Canada.
