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.

If you’ve been following along via my Stories, you If you’ve been following along via my Stories, you know we hopped a flight to Saint Lucia yesterday and took a five minute ride to @serenityatcbay - We originally had planned a family trip, but when an article assignment presented itself, we decided to combine business/leisure and arrived a few days early to get the job done. 

@dalpozzal is currently napping on the swing bed in our private beach cabana, and it is a well-deserved rest. He just completed his latest annual ground school and has been working hard flying everyone else to their vacations. It’s time for his, now.

I am so grateful for these types of moments and it reminds me of that balance I frequently refer to. As difficult as life can be, it is equally as beautiful. Today is one of those beautiful days. And I am pretty sure this whole week will follow suit.

I am looking forward to celebrating my uncle’s retirement and spending time with him, my sister-ain’t, and their best friends in a few days.

Until then, I’ll continue my “research” enjoying frozen drinks in my Stanley cup. #hosted

Caught up with some New Englanders before the press events began. There was a Holland America Libe announcement I live-streamed for the @hollandamericafansofficial group I help manage, followed by an Alaska party and the kickoff reception featuring a mariachi band, paella, and maybe a few glasses of wine before the sun set. Tomorrow will be even busier but I have loved catching up with a few cruise industry friends!
This next session I attended at #stcglobal was mod This next session I attended at #stcglobal was moderated by @fran_golden_cruise - great discussion about private island destinations and this cruise trend for passengers. It isn’t about taking away from other port stops but more of an added value for guests. I’ll post more from the session later. So much goodness for future cruises!
