Farmer Charley’s Corn Maze Adventures

As many of you know Michigan's Fall is my favorite season, this includes one of my favorite family activities, a corn Maze. My family traveled to Farmer Charley's Kackleberry Farm , located at 6421 North Stoney Creek Rd, Monroe, MI 48162. Now I have to admit this is the first time I and my family have ever traveled to this Farm, I had seen it on the side of the highway on my travels south, but never stopped in. This year we finally stopped in.

Let's start with the price and how the organization was super helpful! So when we went the night before it had rained horribly, as expected in Michigan right? Well because of the rain, the maze itself and part of the hayride were closed for the day. Because of this, the cashier ended up giving us entrance for $6 bucks each, honestly, it made us feel really good about the experience because at the end of the day we came for a corn maze. We were greeted by the ticket checker with a warm smile and a great attitude. I absolutely felt at home as soon as we came through the gate.

If you are like me, you love camera opportunities, well let's just say they have a bunch. Ranging from a large chair to cute little wooden cut-outs that your child can stand up and look out...Look how cute they are:

Now any good farm has farm animals, Farmer Charley's is no different. I absolutely love the temperament that the animals had, normally animals can be a bit skittish from my experience, but these guys were great. The fact that they had a station that had many interesting facts that "city" kids may not know was also educational. Being from a farm community myself, I did know most of the questions on their question boards. But having an opportunity to share that information with my kids was very nice. Overall for a petting farm, I would rank this amongst the highest I have personally visited. Again being from the country I have been to more than a few, so A+ Mr. Charley :)


One of my personal favorite activities here is the Pumpkin Chuck! Quite literally this is a Pumpkin shooting Bazooka, it was very cool to watch and rather affordable at 3 shots for $5 bucks. Watch my 3-year-old as she tries to shoot the Pumpkin:


I will say this, the staff at Kackleberry Farm are amazing, seriously I cannot stress this enough! They were funny, engaging and really asked if we were having a good time and tried to make the experience more fun for the kids. The Farm offers bouncy bubbles, tractor rides my girls loved and hayrides. At every turn, the staff would make jokes, make sure we were enjoying our time and were genuinely nice. You don't find that level of customer service around the Metro-Detroit area. Unlike their competitors, I feel like the team that works at Kackleberry Farm really do care about their customer's enjoyment.


What really makes Kackleberry Farm stand out to me is that they were able to bring little girls their heroes! Unexpectedly we stumbled upon Anna and Elsa, who my daughter absolutely adores. We had gone to Disney world earlier this summer and had met the ultimate actresses at the parks, I will say this for being a local Princess Impersonators, well these girls were good. My daughter was absolutely star struck and was raving for weeks about how she had gone to "Disney World" again to her little friends. The young women who played the Princesses did such a nice job with the character, I would love to figure out how to book them for birthday parties. If anyone knows, please pass that information along.


Last but not least, let us not forget the apple cider and pumpkin ice cream. Honestly, you have to taste the hand dipped ice cream and their apple cider slushy it really is the tastiest thing I have had in a very long time. Obviously, they offer pumpkins, apple cider, doughnuts and anything else you can expect from an Apple Orchard/Corn Maze but to be honest their food was exceptional comparatively to the other Corn Mazes I have ever visited. Again, have to give these guys an A+

So all together this was a really fun afternoon with my family and I highly recommend checking out Farmer Charley's Kackleberry Farm you can check out their website, http://kackleberryfarm.com/. I am not one for positive reviews unless I have had an exceptional time and honestly I found nothing wrong with any aspect of my visit. I highly recommend going!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
