  • 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!

Will calls laundry baskets “laundry maps.”  I have no idea why.  I remembered this because he was pushing Ellie around on a pillow and making train noises and then said “Hey Eloise!  Do you want me to get a laundry map so that you can be in a REAL train?”  (as opposed to the pillow, which was clearly a pretend train)  Then to me “Hey Mom?  Do we have any laundry maps that are empty?  I mean, with no clothes?”  (This is a very good question in our house, but we actually have FOUR empty laundry hampers right now and I’m very proud of my decent housekeeping of the last few weeks!)
