  • 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!

Old fashioned Bumbo

I lost Will.  I was freaking out—I couldn’t find him anywhere, and I was calling and calling and he wouldn’t answer.  (He always does if I say “you’re scaring me”!)  I was thinking I was going to have to call Nic and then the police and that my baby was snatched and then I thought about the fake balloon boy and rechecked our bedroom—and there he was in his “special bed” on the floor, Sponge Bob guitar by his side (which was the last noise I heard from him).

Ellie is sick.  She’s fussy, needy, farty, poopy, spit-up-y, and she makes these grunting noises.  She reminds me of Nic after he eats…well…anything.

knowing that we have a wedding tomorrow makes it very hard for me to get out of my pajamas today.

This is what Nic sees when he looks at this photo
