  • 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 is off on his first big boy playdate.

He’s off to the zoo with a friend.  It took so much courage to allow this!  I’m imagining every major calamity, from Will’s abduction to his not saying ‘thank you.’  This ‘letting go’ that is required in greater and greater degrees just might kill me.
