What is MacaroniKID?
I get asked this a lot! MacaroniKID New Iberia - Abbeville - Breaux Bridge is a hyper-local, online resource for families looking for free or low-cost events, activities, product recommendations, and parenting resources in our cities and towns.
We're the go-to source our community relies on to find family-friendly happenings, whether that's through our event calendar, our free weekly e-newsletter, or the content we share on social media.
Every MacaroniKID Publisher is a real, local parent - and my goal is simple: to raise cultural awareness, spotlight family activities across our parishes, and give the local businesses that make this area special the attention they deserve.
My Story
I'm Hannah, and I was born and raised in Erath, Louisiana. This isn't just the area I cover - it's home. I grew up playing at the local park, riding my bike down the street, and soaking up that Louisiana sun that never really lets go of you, no matter where life takes you.
Now, as a parent myself, I'm devoted to raising my own children in the same place that raised me; surrounded by the food, the culture, and the community that makes South Louisiana what it is. Becoming the Publisher for this territory felt natural because I already know these parishes inside and out, and I care deeply about the families who call them home.
My goal with this platform is to celebrate everything that makes our area special: our Cajun culture, our local businesses, and the everyday moments that make raising a family here so rich.

About MacaroniKID
MacaroniKID New Iberia - Abbeville - Breaux Bridge is part of a national organization that includes local publishers providing content for more than 3,000,000 families in 4,000+ communities across the United States and Canada.
In 2020, MacaroniKID merged with CertifiKID, a nationally recognized website offering discounts on kids' activities and family experiences — which means our readers get access to the best local content and the best deals on family-friendly attractions and experiences.
In January 2023, our MacaroniKID family grew again when CertifiKID acquired Hulafrog, another leading business in local, parent-focused digital media. This means even more family-focused content under one roof for our readers.
