  • 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!

Ellie gets fussy and we have the following conversation

Me: Is it nap time?
Ellie: Yeah.
Me: Let’s go get Bao Bao.
Bao Bao is her pacifier bear. We walk into my bedroom and I reach for him
Ellie: Bao Bao.
She pops it in her mouth happily, we walk into her bedroom, I put her in her crib, and walk out. She goes to sleep. What an easy baby!
