  • 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!

cooking club christmas

Tonight was my cooking club’s Christmas party, and spouses and kids were all invited to the big bash.  Will was especially cute tonight!

He told Brandon (his three year old buddy) “this is a princess” as he pointed at me.  And then he repeated it as he held onto my leg–”this is a princess.”  I was wearing a dress and heels.  I should do it more often.

He was so excited to see Baby Chloe.  He talked about it all day.  Wanted to sing her “twinkle twinkle little star” and even practiced singing it in the car on the way over.

Baby Marley (who will be ONE in less than a month–time flies!!!) was there and Will was loving it.  He held her in his lap and sang rock a bye baby, and then he held onto her hands and walked her around and around the room.  He is going to be such a good big brother!
