Wow...it's been six months since my last post. I have seriously been neglecting this blog. But in my defense, I've been very busy working and keeping up with the new brick and mortar. Despite my crazy schedule, I wanted to take the time to share this Cornflake Crunch Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe because it is […] The post Cornflake Crunch Chocolate Chip Cookies appeared first on The Northern Current ..read more

I have been somewhat MIA on this blog and social media the past couple of months, but for good reason. I started an exciting new project that I finally get to share: I am so happy to announce that I am opening a boutique here in Sitka, Alaska that will focus on carrying unique, small-run […] The post A Big Announcement… appeared first on The Northern Current ..read more

As some of you know, my family and I were supposed to go to Kauai earlier this year in January, but the day we were leaving my husband was in a serious accident. Our trip was postponed until last month, so when the time came, we were really excited to finally visit the Garden Isle […] The post Two Weeks in Kauai appeared first on The Northern Current ..read more

I wanted to plan a fun trip for Zach on his 30th birthday this year, but we were unable to leave Anchorage, where he was recovering from his major accident.  So Zach suggested we go to New York City in August to see the US Open (we are both big tennis fans). To make it […] The post A Week in the Big Apple appeared first on The Northern Current ..read more

The weekend before Zach and I left for NYC, we went camping for a night on an island nearby. Immediately afterward we had a visitor for a few nights and then we left for The Big Apple, so I had little time to put together a post. But I really wanted to share our camping […] The post A Night Camping on Kruzof appeared first on The Northern Current ..read more

While we were in Anchorage this past winter during Zach's recovery, the Toyo stove (our oil heater) back home died. Since it would be pretty costly to fix, we decided to buy a heat pump instead. Heat pumps are very effective and environmentally-friendly, so it was definitely an upgrade. We knew that when we finally […] The post Our Living Room Makeover appeared first on The Northern Current ..read more

As it's our second May in a row visiting the nearby Goddard hot springs (read last year's post here), maybe this outing will become a family tradition. Even though I have to take Dramamine even when someone just mentions going for a boat ride (I get seasick super easily), it is actually pretty fun to […] The post Return to the Hot Springs appeared first on The Northern Current ..read more

Yes, we are still in Anchorage. Zach has one more procedure to remove the blood clot filter (which as to be done at the hospital here), so we are waiting for that appointment to be scheduled and then we can start planning our return home. All of the waiting makes the days feel like they […] The post Our Road Trip to the Mountains appeared first on The Northern Current ..read more

It's been awhile since I've written a post. I thought I would be doing one or two after our early January trip to Kauai, but that trip never happened. Instead of sitting on an airplane watching downloaded Netflix episodes on the iPad, on January 2nd I found myself sitting in a sleeper chair in the […] The post January 2nd, 2018 appeared first on The Northern Current ..read more
