  • 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!

Every so often, some stranger will say that Will looks “just like his dad.”  And when they say that, I smile and nod, but I have to fight off the strangest urge to punch them in the face and say “take it back!  he looks like ME!” 

This is probably because I think Will is the best looking thing to ever grace the planet, and I want to be that cute.  It’s probably also because I think of him as a mini me.  And in temperament, that couldn’t be more true.  Passionate, stubborn, a lover in one second and a fighter in the next.  So don’t you dare say he looks just like Nicolas.  He is MY William.
