Our Story
Welcome to Ericksen Collective — a creative hub built from passion, purpose, and people.
Founded by Sarah Ericksen, the Collective began as a way to bring all of her heart-led businesses together under one name. What started as a love for nurturing children, celebrating life’s milestones, and creating beautiful things has grown into a connected space for joy, creativity, and community.
Through Little Trails Home Daycare, she continues her lifelong dedication to early childhood development — providing a warm, engaging environment for children to learn and grow. Most recently becoming a digital creator -- offering a fully editable, professionally written guide designed for home daycare owners, preschool providers, and early educators.
Through Pop & Pour Parties, Sarah transforms ordinary gatherings into unforgettable celebrations with thoughtful design, balloon decor, and party attendant services. She's ready to get your party started.
With TR Designs, alongside her husband they craft personalized keepsakes and custom gifts that help families and organizations celebrate what matters most.
At its core, Ericksen Collective is about connection — between creativity and care, families and their milestones, and the small businesses that make everyday life a little more beautiful.
Each branch of the Collective reflects Sarah’s belief that when you pour love into what you do, it shines through in joyful smiles, every balloon, handmade ornament created.
Welcome to the Ericksen Collective — where creativity, care, and celebration come together.

Every event is designed to reflect your style and make your celebration truly unforgettable.
