Everyone walked in smiling, dressed with a touch of Halloween spirit and ready to enjoy treats and PLAY time! There were lots of fun and age appropriate activities for all Baton Rouge kids to enjoy, including climbing the jungle gym, playing with building blocks, grocery shopping, jumping in the bounce house, or even hosting a puppet show.

As with acisll of our Baton Rouge community events, we choose a charity. We were very excited to partner with  Communities in Schools, whose mission and goals focus on surrounding students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Thank you SO much if you were able to donate items for such a great cause. We surely did collect quite a bit! We think it is especially necessary to show our children the importance of giving back to their community and we tip our hats to you for helping us to do just that.

Ericka P.
Ericka is originally a New Orleans gal who was raised to begin many dishes with a roux. Since 2011, she has happily embraced the Red Stick life with her husband of seven years, Tyler. Although she met her husband at an LSU game after her car broke down, they both attended Northwestern State University where she graduated with a Business Administration degree. After graduation, she and Tyler took a leap of faith and tied the knot. She dabbled in the corporate scene but eventually returned to school to pursue her passion for teaching and earned a Master’s degree in Elementary Education. She taught at an inner-city school in Baton Rouge for 3 years where she gained a family of students and colleagues alike. She’s traded in her beloved Expo pens and clipboard to stay home with her sweet and adventurous one-year-old son, Cullen. She is so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the sisterhood of fellow moms. Motherhood has been the best roller coaster she’s ever been on and even at the most challenging times, she tries to remember to embrace the chaos and “bless this mess” mentality. Ericka loves a good conversation, coffee, empowering other women {because we can all use a little encouragement}, laughing, baking and making memories with her family.
