  • 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!

big news

Ellie peed on a public potty yesterday.  This is a big deal.  Because she has been potty trained for 3 months, but in those 3 months has refused to pee on a public potty.  She’ll demand to be taken to one, sit on it for 5 seconds, announce she’s done…and 5 minutes later demand to be taken back.  We could go up to Denver for the afternoon and she would refuse to pee the entire time.

Nightmare.

But it ended yesterday.  That little girl peed at Joanns.  And today she peed AND POOPED on not one, but TWO public potties. 

Hallelujah.
