  • 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!

Yesterday I picked up Ellie from the neighbor (who watched her while I went to Will’s conference) and when I picked her up she gave me the 10 second rundown without me even asking “fun. kitty. show. eat-eat. play.”  She learned “funny” right after “fun” and it is my favorite of her words.  It’s so cute when she calls people funny while giggling at their jokes!
