I am a wife to Steve and a mom to three wonderfully crazy kids: Little Man who is six, Little Miss Throwsafit who is three, and Littlest One who is sixteen months. We live in Up North Michigan where we own a canoe livery and fly shop on the banks of the beautiful and historic AuSable River. You can find me online at Up North Mommy.

I am Blissfully Domestic – Week 22

By Kim @ Up North Mommy on March 30, 2009

When it rains it pours. My mom used to say that, and when I was little I didn't completely understand the metaphor. Now that I'm a mom, I do. On Wednesday I was sick with the stomach flu. Today, my husband has it. Last week my 16 month old had a mild ear infection. [...]

I sometimes have a hard time with the blissful part of blissfully domestic. At times, I'm cranky, out of sorts, and tired, which is not much fun. I need to do something to help put me in a more blissful state of mind, so with Spring on the way, I have decided to start running.

By Kim @ Up North Mommy on March 3, 2009

Have I ever told you that my house is filled to the brim with a husband, three kids, and two dogs? Actually I should say two and a half dogs. Even though our Great Dane is not yet one year old, she is so big she really should count as a dog and a half. [...]

I am Blissfully Domestic – Week 17

By Kim @ Up North Mommy on February 23, 2009

Right now I have a mountain of dirty laundry in my basement. Between my three kids, I'm constantly doing their laundry that I end up neglecting my own. So there it all sits in a massive heap on my basement floor. There are probably shirts buried underneath there that I haven't seen in weeks. Ick. [...]
