Meet Our New Contributor

By Melanie Koenig May 19, 2025
You may have noticed a new name on a few recent articles—that’s because we’ve added a new contributor to the team! Melanie Koenig is here to help us share even more family fun, parenting insights, and great local finds from around the greater Madison area. Meet Melanie below!



Hi, I’m Melanie!
My background is in marketing and recruiting, and these days I run the site Sauk County Mom Collective where I share family-friendly events, activities, and local business highlights for moms and families in the Baraboo, Sauk, Wisconsin Dells, and Reedsburg area. When I’m not working on that, I’m usually out exploring with my energetic toddler.

I first connected with Aaron through his Instagram page and, after a few conversations, we realized we had a shared passion for helping families find great things to do. Joining the Macaroni KID Madison team felt like the perfect next step—and I’m excited to help share even more ideas for the greater Madison area, too.

I’m happy to be here and look forward to connecting with more of you. Feel free to reach out and say hello!

PS: If you’re ever up for a little exploring, I’d love for you to follow Sauk County Mom Collective on Facebook or check out my website.
