  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

Nic (sternly, walking over to intervene): Ellie, NO. That isn’t the way to ask for things.
Will (handing Ellie more pop tart bites): It’s okay. She can ask naughty.
When Ellie was assigned to this family, she sure did luck out. There has surely never been a more patient and loving big brother!
