  • 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 you name a kid eloise, you kind of just ask for it

It’s been two days since Ellie peed in the potty.  She lets me know she has to go, she sits on the potty, happily singing to herself nonself tunes (exactly like Boo in Monsters Inc) then tells me she’s done and 10 minutes later pees on the floor.  SHE HAD THIS.  And now she’s just being willful!
