Send Your Publisher A Coffee

Late Nights Publishing, Play Date Runs - We can all use a little Pick Me Up!

By Kari Treat | Publisher | Macaroni KID Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates January 6, 2025

Macaroni KID Schaumburg serves as a fantastic FREE resource for parents and caregivers, highlighting events and activities in and around Schaumburg, IL. This initiative is led by a local mom - ME! I'm Kari! And I am deeply rooted in the community, balancing work and family life right here. I've lived in this area my entire life. I was born and raised in Rolling Meadows, worked in Arlington Heights and Hoffman Estates, lived in Schaumburg and Roselle, and I still make my home here, cherishing the bonds I've formed over the years.

I operate as a one-woman team, and I've had readers reach out to ask how they can express their gratitude for the newsletter and the website. One of my favorite ways to receive thanks is through a coffee donation! It's quite common for me to be up until 3 AM, diving into research and adding events to the calendar. 

Balancing life as a mom, swim coach and instructor, and podcast host, I also enjoy dedicating time to running the Macaroni KID Schaumburg newsletter and website.

If you feel like brightening my 3AM nights with a little coffee, I would truly appreciate it!
