About The Publisher: Erica Alhorn

Hi and welcome to Macaroni Kid Wheaton. I'm Erica, a mother to three little ones, all who love exploring and going on adventures all around the suburbs with me. I'll be helping to grow this amazing community, share events and happenings, and guide you in the best family friendly local business in and around Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Lombard, Glendale Heights, Carol Stream, West Chicago, Winfield, and Warrenville.

I was born and raised here in the Western Suburbs, and I love discovering new local favs, uncovering hidden gems, and bringing awareness to the best small businesses that everyone should know about! 

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and helping to strengthen this perfect little corner of Chicagoland.

I'm proud to announce that Macaroni Kid Wheaton was the winner of the 2023 Overall General Excellence Award at the inaugural Macaroni Kid Certificate of Excellence Awards out of the hundreds of publishers and local sites across the country!
