Erica Sweeney Glory grew up in Baton Rouge but has called the Northshore home for more than 10 years now. She’s raising two daughters (4 and 2) with her husband Richie, who keep her life filled with laughter, adventure and a little chaos. A public relations professional by trade, she’s usually behind the scenes shaping stories but is excited to be on this side of the pen, sharing her own. Whether writing about parenting experiences, personal perspectives, or the best things to do in Louisiana (discovered through years of promoting tourism) she hopes her words connect with and help other moms out there trying to survive. When she’s not working from home for a marketing agency or debating having that third baby, you’ll find her traveling, playing outside with her girls, or at a Taylor Swift concert.
