Turkey Hunting - Fall 2023

With road closures in the spring due to snow, my husband was repulled for the fall turkey hunt! Since it was still within camping season, we decided to make it a family trip. The kids had two weeks after school which was perfect timing. 

The two weekends prior to opening day we went up and did some scouting and some camping, trying to get a familiar idea of where to hunt and where the turkeys are. We can’t really do much with our kids because they scare the turkey and any animal away anywhere near us because they’re so loud.

when it finally comes down to a few days before opening day, my husband decides that Wednesday afternoon he was going to go up and get us a spot. I said fine that’s perfect only because I wanted to make sure we got a good spot and since it was gonna be the first weekend we didn’t want to have to settle for something that we didn’t wanna be in for a week and a half since we did plan to be camping a maximum of 10 days. Me and the kids came up Thursday mid morning to join. While none of us really could go with my husband when he hunted for the turkeys we bought activities and a lot of things to keep the kids busy. 

However, like any other vacation, I didn’t feel well. So Friday all I wanted to do was just lay in the trailer and the kids just played on the tablets, little find it books and various other activities we brought. So Friday afternoon comes and my husband finally returned. He didn’t get a turkey, but he met some really nice people looking for elk.

So early Saturday morning, he gets up again and head back over to his zone. And it was only a couple hours later that he ended up coming back which surprised me. I wasn’t expecting him back that early. Turns out he got his turkey!!!

Due to the amount of gas we spent in those few days and the amount of eyes we would have to be bang. We ended up just calling it a day and headed back home. So basically our 10 day trip only turned into a three day trip with the kids and I was sad, but I mean I’m not going to spend a lot of money on ice to freeze a turkey so we can stay up and camp. 

Well, he may put in for turkey hunting again in the future. I doubt I would only because Turkey just doesn’t sound interesting for me to hunt, but stayed home to see our next hunting adventures!

Rosella's Pregnancy

Image
I always knew I wanted another baby. I have always wanted one boy and one girl. Eighteen months apart, a boy first. It was how I always pictured my future. So after the issues getting pregnant with Logan, I decided to try something more natural. So I took supplements that helped regulate women's hormones, which was what I needed. I know I did not go into details but it took us about 18 months to get pregnant with Logan after taking progesterone pills for 6 months. So back to this pregnancy, I decided natural supplements , with ovulation predictor kits and temping. Unlike with Logan, Rosella's pregnancy was more "planned" if you will. I was trying what I could to get pregnant without seeing my doctor. I knew exactly when my body would ovulate based on the tests and my temperature. So when I was 12 days past ovulation (DPO) , I took a pregnancy test... lets be honest I started like 8 days (which it usually takes 6-12 days to begin producing HCG if you are pregnant

DIY Baby Food

I always thought about making my own baby food with Logan but it never happened. Then after Rosella was born, I decided to give it a try. We have a local farmers market and I had a week off when she started on solids.  The jars I have used are each 4oz. For less than $20.00, I picked up all this fresh fruits and veggies! A while back I purchased the Kindle version of  this book  to help direct me on my baby food making journey. Between the book and common knowledge I begun to create a bunch of different recipes. I add all the different recipes in here to the blog every so often so just look out for them or search for them.
