  • 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!

The big photography conference in Vegas is this week.  I went the past two years and vowed to go always no. matter. what.  The break from real life, the inspiration, the room service, the amazing bathroom, housekeeping to clean up after us…I thought that sitting this year out for childcare reasons would kill me.  But with Will’s party today and Disneyland coming up it’s surprisingly easy to be happy to be right here, even if I have to feed and clean up after myself.
