  • 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!

a story I would find charming if it didn’t happen to be MY boot

Pulled on my snow boots this morning only to find that one of them was full of cheerios, pieces of granola, a goldfish cracker, and other tasty mouse morsels.  A little mouse has been using my snow boot for a house.  Or at the very least, a pantry.

Probably the very same mouse who met with an unfortunate end recently in one of our mouse traps. 

It’s been a while since we’ve had any mice activity.  I’d almost forgotten how it makes me want to crawl out of my skin to think of field mice running around my stuff!
