  • 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!

I was singing that Ella Fitzgerald song “Always” to Will (I’ll be lovin’ you/always/not for just an hour/not for just a day/not for just a year/but always) and Will accidentally sang it back to me “I’ll be loving you for just an hour” and I laughed so hard that he wouldn’t stop putting a cap on his love for me.  I sent Nic up to give him a goodnight kiss, and when Nic came down he came and said “I have been told to tell you something.  I have a secret for you.  I’ll be loving you for a month.”
