  • 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!

stroller accessory mania – a bottle leash

I’ve been seeing these little bottle/sippy leashes on strollers everywhere, but when I looked at BabysRUs for one it was something like $7, and since that will buy me a churro at Disneyland I decided to skip it.  But I couldn’t get the idea of how nice one would be out of my head, so I used a 2″ scrap and some leftover elastic from Ellie’s minnie mouse skirt waistband and made my own.

This is her “I’m suspicious because you chained up my baba” face.

Katie - You smart girl, you just bought yourself two churros at Disneyland! Yup, they are *only* $3.50, or they were last year. Could be up to $10 by now….
