  • 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!

When Will no longer snuggles up to me and says with absolute conviction, “Mommy—you’re the prettiest” for no reason at all, I’m just going to crawl into a little hole somewhere and die.  Who will think I’m the prettiest girl in the world when Will is 9?!  Okay…maybe Ellie.  But what about when SHE’S 9?!  I need an endless stream of 5 year olds in my future!
