Ending our status as nomads (hopefully permanently!), my husband and I bought a home in northern Michigan early in 2010. This blog is a chronicle of our adventures Up North, both big and small. And also whatever else I feel compelled to share.
I post lots of nature photos, because we are absolutely surrounded by unspoiled splendor. If you’re ever interested in a hi-res version of any of them, let me know and we’ll work something out.
When I was 12, I moved to Scotland. More specifically, Up North. Now that I’m in the city, I spend a lot of time dreaming about moving back up there. Even though it’s a different North, I’m living vicariouly through your posts!
Isn’t the blogging world cool like that? I grew up on a farm in southern Ohio and then moved all over. Despised the city (Miami, FL). I am not a cold person, so I think everyone – myself included – has been a bit surprised how much I love it up here.
Just stumbled upon your blog, I’m originally from the state, though I now live in DC. I still go Up North to our family cottage every summer though, I love the lifestyle! Looking forward to getting a little piece of MI from your blog.
Thanks for stopping by! We love it here, and frequently talk about how happy we are to have made the move (and lucky we have jobs to bring with us). Glad to be a portal into northern MI for you

Hi Heather,
It’s nice to meet you. I’m live in New York City, so I look forward to hearing about your adventures in Michigan. A nice change of pace!
Best,
Kristy
I’m so glad you stopped by! I hope you find something here you like
I look forward to checking out your blog when I’m not catching up on everything right before bed 
This is the closest I’ve come to going back to my childhood home in Upper Michigan. I’m so glad you’re posting photos
I’m glad you’ve found a small piece of childhood here
I love Michigan, and reaffirmed that the UP isn’t too far away, so I’ll be posting more pictures of the northern LP and the UP. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Nominated you for the Lovely Blog Award! You can respond, but don’t feel you have too. Details are in my newest post.
Thanks so much for the nomination
I kinda quit doing most of these because I feel like they get a tad spammy, even though I *really* appreciate the thought behind them.
No prob!! Your welcome
Happy to have found your blog! I’m originally from Michigan and go to Manistee every year to visit family. We’ve been thinking of moving back there and now you’re really starting to convince me…
Beware then! This blog is full of love for northern Michigan
Hope you enjoy all the photos, and best of luck if you decide to move back “home.”
I have nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger award: http://cjvl.wordpress.com/2013/03/25/the-very-inspiring-blogger-award/
Thank you Carol. I’ll check it out! I happen to think very highly of your opinion

So glad to have found you. I live in southern Michigan (except for winters in Florida now that my body no longer likes the cold) and think there is nowhere better than Michigan.
Aw, Pat, I’m so glad you left me a comment

My husband and I visited northern Michigan while on a road trip in 2008, and I’ve never felt more at home in a place. I’d never been here before, but my soul just felt drawn to northern Michigan. We’ve been here just over three years, and I look forward to every day. (Which isn’t to say that I don’t look forward to spending some of them in warmer places
Welcome, I’m so glad you are enjoying your new home. There is so much to see – we have been exploring MI for our whole lives and are still excited about it.
