“King Cake: A Mardi Gras Tradition”

Our February Cluster meeting was full of yummy king cake, meeting Alee’s mother and discussion about choking prevention for children. We also had a nice time learning about the history of Mardi Gras and answering questions regarding the program.

Nottoway Plantation

Our November cluster meeting was a cultural experience for our Au Pairs. They visited Nottoway Plantation in White Castle, Louisiana. The Au Pairs were able to tour the beautiful grounds with a costumed tour guide and enjoy the scenery afterwards. It was a gorgeous day!

“Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice”

The Au Pairs enjoyed a pumpkin decorating activity with apple cider, apple strudels,  and yummy pumpkin spice donuts. We had a discussion about the tradition of Halloween in the US and went over Halloween & Trick-or-Treat child safety.
