Sharing Baton Rouge Family Fun with viewers of Lifetime Television

Last week was fun and somewhat unbelievable. I was on Lifetime TV’s show Designing Spaces, Kids Spaces highlighting some of the family friendly attractions in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We filmed this episode last December and it was a fabulous experience. I’ve always wanted to be a travel show host and it really was so much fun to film.

I was absolutely thrilled when Visit Baton Rouge approached me to represent the capital city of Baton Rouge on National US television. When I travel, I always love sharing my passion about Louisiana and my home city area of Baton Rouge. Louisiana is a wonderful state to be from and everywhere I go someone always asks me about the food, the culture, the music, and the Louisiana lifestyle.

We began our day early, filming at the Rural Life Museum, which gives a glimpse of what life was like in Louisiana before electricity. I brought along my daughter and a few of her school friends so they could get a behind-the-scenes look into television production. The girls had so much fun touring the museums, the USS Kidd, running around the Capital Grounds, and sampling the offerings from the food trucks. For the production crew, they were able to get a first-hand look at how much Baton Rouge has to offer, even for teenagers.

Here’s the full clip from Lifetime TV which aired March 7, 2013 and highlights just a few of the many activities and attractions in the entire Baton Rouge metropolitan area that’s just right for families. For more travel information and planning, visit the official website of Visit Baton Rouge.

Super big thanks to everyone at Visit Baton Rouge for thinking of me and including me on such a fun project. This was the perfect mix for me, bringing my passion for travel and love of my home area together in such a fun package. I still can’t believe I get to take part in unbelievable moments like this. Remember, if you can dream it, you can do it.

Weekend Recap: Maine Edition Wine 🍷 Lobsters 🦞 Weekend Recap: Maine Edition

Wine 🍷 
Lobsters 🦞

Enjoyed the Labor Day weekend with family, friends, and local wildlife. Hosting a lobster dinner with an evening fire pit by the water is quintessential Maine living. Blessed to have a spot on this quiet, undiscovered peninsula in MidCoast. #IYKYK
Some bottles of wine come with tasting notes. Othe Some bottles of wine come with tasting notes. Others come with stories. 🍷

A few years ago, James and I were leaving Venice for Naples when a train derailment completely changed our plans. A taxi, a rental car, and several hours later, we found ourselves unexpectedly driving through Tuscany.

Somewhere near Montepulciano, hunger (and curiosity) sent us down a few questionable back roads to a winery I found on the map.

And then there it was: @avignonesiofficial 

We spent the afternoon in the Tuscan sunshine, tasting wine, sharing charcuterie, and laughing about how sometimes the best travel memories are the ones you never planned.

We shipped a case home to Maine, where the bottles have been resting in our cellar ever since.

This week, we decided it was time to stop saving them for “someday.”

We opened the 50 & 50, slightly chilled and decanted, and paired it with grilled tenderloin, fresh corn and asparagus. And over dinner, we traveled right back to that unexpected afternoon in Tuscany.

The wine was beautiful. Dinner was pretty darn good, too. 😉 And the company was the best part.

Maybe we spend too much of life saving the good things for a special occasion.

Open the bottle.
Make the dinner.
Tell the story.

Tuesday is special enough. 🍷🇮🇹
Last night, at the very end of August, we finally Last night, at the very end of August, we finally made it to @primorestaurant in Rockland, #Maine. It isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. 

I sipped a Summer Spritz with Maine blueberries before noshing on the last of the Squash Blossoms, a golden and flaky Halibut main dish, and a finale dessert of profiteroles filled with salted caramel gelato. Heavenly.

The pièce de résistance? Bringing home fresh zeppoles to accompany my morning coffee while working on September writing assignments here at @thebeehivecottage 

Thank you @chefmelissak and team for this long-lasting culinary sanctuary, sharing your space and talents with visitors and locals alike. We are looking forward to enjoying @primoatgrandelakes during the winter season as things hibernate in Maine. Grazie mille!!!
There’s finally the tiniest touch of coolness in t There’s finally the tiniest touch of coolness in the Maine air this morning… just enough to hint that September is waiting around the corner (tomorrow 😳)

Coffee in a mug that says “Enjoy the Journey.” ☕️

Low tide. Clear blue skies. And from Cushing Harbor, lobster boats are heading out for the day, the low murmur of their motors drifting across the water as they glide past.

No grand plans for this moment. Just coffee, fresh air, sunshine, and a reminder sitting right there in my hands:

Enjoy the journey.

Even the quiet parts. Maybe especially the quiet parts. ❤️

Sometimes courage looks like taking the leap. Som Sometimes courage looks like taking the leap.

Sometimes it looks like staying.

Sometimes it looks like letting go of what was, trusting what’s next, and giving yourself permission to not have all the answers yet.

This morning, courage looks like hot coffee, a quiet view, and another chance to begin. ☕️
