About The Publisher: Colleen

Hi, I’m Colleen Elliott!

I live in West Eugene with my husband, our two young daughters, our cat, and our goldfish. As a local mom, I’m always looking for fun, meaningful things to do with my kids and I love helping other families discover what’s happening throughout Eugene and Springfield.

Some of our favorite family activities include visiting Adventure! Children’s Museum, attending story times at our local library branches, exploring community events, and spending time at area parks.

Each week, I share upcoming local events, seasonal activities, family-friendly businesses, and practical tips to make planning family fun easier. You’ll find one-time and special events on the Macaroni KID Eugene calendar, while recurring activities, classes, open gyms, parks, pools, and other helpful resources are organized in our local Guides.

Be sure to check the weekly newsletter for curated event picks, new articles, updated Guides, and plenty of ideas for your family!

Need to reach me? I’d love to hear from you! Email me anytime at colleene@macaronikid.com.
