Angola-Hogsback Lake KOA

If you're looking for a really great campground with TONS of things for the kids to do and a great family, friendly atmosphere... The Angola-Hogsback Lake KOA has been top-notch! 

We're avid KOA fans! We've traveled to many KOAs around Michigan and last October while looking for a campground with Halloween festivities that had an open site, we ran across the Angola-Hogsback Lake KOA.

A big chunk of this campground are seasonal! So lots of really cool sites to look at. In October we chose to be down on the waterfront of the lake! We had a dock right behind our rig and it was a GORGEOUS view of the lake, sunrises and sunsets!

However, with having four kids (and the fifth on the way) it was a really long walk to the lake, any of the parks and even farther to the pool area. So we made note of this for any future stay. The campground is VERY long! 

We had a great weekend Trick-or-Treating, the Haunted Barn, Halloween Games, and your normal camping activities.

This time, however, we picked a site by the pool area and it did NOT disappoint! The golf cart traffic was heavy, but it made for a really great time meeting other people and see how much fun the seasonal campers have during season!

For us, it was super nice to be right across from the fishing pond so the kids could fish easily. We were a stones throw from the pool, which was super nice! The lazy river was mine and Badrick's favorite place to be! We could also see the jump pillow from our campsite, so that made it nice when the kids were jumping! 

The kids did end up frequenting the lake though... which was not something we had anticipated. They had a GIANT inflatable "American Ninja Warrior" type course that the kids had a blast playing on!

So perhaps next time we'll camp right in the middle of the park so we're about equal distance from the lake and the pool. 

We rented kayaks and a paddle boat on Saturday. Rented a Ponton on Sunday. We really had such a great weekend! This is the only campground that we have really desired to make sure we end up at at least once a year!

Happy Camping!

Postpartum Herbal Baths

  To buy Postpartum Herbal Bath Blends: You can purchase my handcrafted blend  HERE! Hey sister! I'm so excited to be talking about Postpartum Herbal Baths on the blog! My Postpartum Herbal Baths are officially launched on my website and being offered! I make these in very small batches, so the quantities in stock are limited, but pre-ordering is always an option if I happen to be out of stock!  I really enjoyed the benefits of a Postpartum Herbal Bath after the birth of Badrick! About four days postpartum, my sweet hubby got my herbs steeping in a giant stock pot, ran me a beautiful bath, lit a candle and got both Badrick and I settled into our bath while checking on us periodically. The time we spent in that bath soaking are some of my fondest postpartum moments.  Badrick blissfully laid in my arms nursing and napping. I laid there blissfully reminiscing on our wonderful home water birth and the four days that had already passed since we welcomed this new little so...

Who Told My Baby She Could Grow Up?!

I'm serious. Who told her? Because I want to speak with you! You should have come to me first because I am her mother! I did not give you permission to tell my baby that she could grow up! Miss Bailey turned 7 months today! I can hardly believe that 7 months have gone by so quickly! She was just my itty bitty last week, wasn't she? Let's reminisce. Because I love walks down Memory Lane.   That was 7 months ago... It seems like last week. Here's my little beauty today! Very happy after dinner last night! BLW FTW! On Monday she pulled herself up standing for the very first time! I finally caught it on camera today! Perfect for her 7 month birthday! And today marks 7 months of Exclusively Breastfeeding!

Book Review: Ancient Map for Modern Birth by Pam England

Image
  Ancient Map for Modern Birth By Pam England “When your childbearing year becomes a heart journey, you will not just be birthing your child; all along the way you will be birthing a new self.” While you may not be handed a physical map, the journey through preconception, conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum is a journey in itself, that without a “map” can be very tedious to journey through. Instead of wading through murky waters and trudging through the thick, uncharted forests of your own personal journey, equip yourself with a map of knowledge that will clear your paths and give you guidance. As a maiden, you will be beginning the separation of maiden into mother. An old version of you must die away to birth the new version of you. And, you will do this again and again for each and every baby that you so choose to bring forth.  “You can study another’s map or show someone yours, but remember: no two landscapes of labor are the same.” As I read through chapter two and...
