Coming up on UpNorthLive Tonight at 6:30

With Halloween right around the corner we are wrapping up our spooky Now You Know series with something a little unexpected.

In the past few weeks we have been featuring haunted places in Northern Michigan.

I stepped foot inside of the eerie Bowers Harbor Inn in Traverse City to see if ghost Genevive was present.

I tip toed through the History Center of Traverse City, which used to be the old City library that an old librarian still haunts.

And in my last venture, I battled goosebumps at the Blue Pelican Inn in Central Lake that a few lost spirits still call home.

This week I steered away from the haunted theme and decided to step into the shoes of a funeral director and see how she preps the deceased for their funeral.

Tune in tonight at 6:30 on ABC 29&8 to see the behind the scenes work of a funeral director and embalmer.

Trying to carve out time to get fit while juggling kids, work, errands and household chores can seem almost impossible. But I found a few quick workout plans for the busy moms out there who want to shed a few pounds or build up some muscles for a "Supermom" body. The best part is you can do them all in your home or at the playground with your kids.

Procrastination can get the best of us anytime of the year, but it can be even worse during the holidays.The bumper-to-bumper traffic can be enough to keep anyone inside until the holiday rush is over, but if you don't get out to get a gift you may be left feeling guilty once the gift giving begins.
