About The Publisher: Melissa Cercone

Hello! My name is Melissa!

I live in Monroe, CT with my husband, our two sons and our big doofy dog, Otis. My oldest son, Owen, is 6 and my younger son, Ryan, is 6 months old. I have lived in Connecticut for most of my life, with the exception of the four (okay five) years I spent at college at East Carolina University in Greenville North Carolina. We just moved to Monroe in June but we lived in Trumbull for 8 years previously. Both my husband and I grew up in Milford.

We feel very fortunate to live in an area where there is so much to see and do. As a mom, I know how difficult it can be to find and keep track of the fun and enriching events and activities available for kids. I hope you find Macaroni Kid to be a helpful resource for you and your family! I welcome feedback of all kind - this site is for YOU so please drop me an email at any time.

Readers as well as local businesses interested in advertising opportunities can reach me at melissac@macaronikid.com or via phone at 203-895-8414. I look forward to seeing you out and about!
