  • 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’s school makes my ass twitch. I love the sentence ‘we don’t want them to wait a whole week to read a book!’ as if, if we don’t get a book home from the library, all our kids will have access to are twinkies, coffee, and video games. I’m soooo tired of the condescending letters home. Hey—guess what, teachers? It’s only okay to talk to FOUR YEAR OLDS like they’re four. The rest of us are actual grown-ups like you.
