Raising kids in Baton Rouge is: new and exciting! Since relocating here in July, we have had nothing but great experiences (besides the traffic…). Moving in the midst of a pandemic was less than ideal, and we haven’t had the chance to explore as much as we would like. Ultimately, better schools and more access to medical specialists are what we looked forward to the most. We haven’t been disappointed yet!
