Needles and a Pen bio picture
  • 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!

“ELOISE MARIE!” Will commanded at Ellie in the living room.

“Hey—what’s going on in there?” I asked as I walked over from the kitchen.

Ellie was drooling all over a pine needle she’d picked up from the floor.

The white fir sure is more fragrant than the frasier firs we normally get…but it drops a TON of needles.
