I was invited by Disney to attend the #QueenOfKatwe and #ABCTVEvent Event. Although all of my expenses were paid, all opinions are my own.
A few weeks ago, I was in Los Angeles for the #QueenOfKatweEvent. While there, we had the exclusive and awesome opportunity to go on set of some hit ABC shows. One of the shows we were able to tour and chat with the cast of was ABC’s American Housewife. We experienced this a little differently than some of the other shows, as we actually went on scene where they were shooting. It was such a neat experience to see all of the workings behind the scene, meet the cast and chat with some of those who work on set. American Housewife has quickly become a favorite show of mine.
Have you checked out the first episode yet? What do you think? I am so excited to see more and cannot wait to share some more photos from our behind the scenes experience.
Behind the Scenes
Katy Mixon was such a pleasure – she was sure to get to know each of us and our blog before taking a picture. I loved her open arms and willingness to chat. When we went behind the scenes for filming, she was waving at us while getting her makeup and hair touched up. 😀
We then had a few moments to chat with Leslie Bibb. She, just like Katy, was inviting and interested to know about us. I loved her inviting personality and consider it an absolute pleasure to meet her.
We got to chat with Ali Wong and Carly Hughes too! They were so fun, as you can see in the picture. I enjoyed the short conversations that I got to have with each of them. It makes it even more fun to see the episodes now :-D.
