  • 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!

“Mom!  I see a reindeer!” Will shouted.  I looked up and saw a giant deer running along our house, just outside our fenceline—about 10 feet from our windows.  He met up in the grassy field just on the other side of the driveway with two others, including one with a huge full set of antlers (the others had much smaller antlers).  Will asked if we could take them carrots.  I’m glad to see that living in Colorado hasn’t rubbed off on him too badly, or he would have asked to take them out and mount them on the wall!  😛
