  • 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!

milestones

Most people think there are three milestones in moving to a new house:

1) The day you sign

2) The day you move in

3) The day the boxes are finally gone

There are actually many more milestones.  The day you get pictures hung on the walls, the day you drive home on auto pilot and actually end up in the right place, the day you sit on the floor without feeling like you’re sitting on someone else’s gross carpet.  THEIR grossness has been replaced with your own.

And for me, there’s this one: the first time I clog the toilet.  Well, mark the day.  Milestone reached.  Actually, I’m a little surprised it took me this long.

alibeach - That is a milestone for sure!… so funny girl

mom - Still laughing!
The auto pilot and the carpet grossness tests are brilliant!
