  • 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!

Every so often, some stranger will say that Will looks “just like his dad.”  And when they say that, I smile and nod, but I have to fight off the strangest urge to punch them in the face and say “take it back!  he looks like ME!” 

This is probably because I think Will is the best looking thing to ever grace the planet, and I want to be that cute.  It’s probably also because I think of him as a mini me.  And in temperament, that couldn’t be more true.  Passionate, stubborn, a lover in one second and a fighter in the next.  So don’t you dare say he looks just like Nicolas.  He is MY William.

Solids are never particularly fun to buy, but they sure are fun to organize!

Remember the wildflower project Will and I did last month? Apparently Will does, too. He did this all by himself this morning.
