Positively Me

Le sigh…the dreaded about me page. I think it’s so easy to write about a friend than to write about myself. Which is so strange because the person that knows me the best in this life in really me. My name is Patty. I am 40 years old and very happy with that. I am married to the love of my life. We have four beautiful children together. Three girls and one boy.

I love life. I really do. I think one of my greatest assets is my look on life and my ability to flip things around when it’s not going well. I started blogging a little over a year ago and had no clue where I was going with it. It did start out to be just a way to promote work but it changed into something better.

I love to laugh. I love to make people laugh too. I also laugh loud and have this habit of slapping the knees of whoever is beside me, so look out! It’s a family thing. I love to sing too and used to be in a band many moons ago. Now I am the star of my own basement Rock Band with my kids and Husband backing me up. We totally rock!

Mmmm…what else? Oh yes I love wine. Red wine to be exact. I was never a wine drinker until a few years ago I won with one ticket a wine cooler that held 30 bottles of wine. Of course all my friends insisted it wasn’t fair that the non wine drinker won all those bottles. Slowly I started to try different wines, and I found I really enjoyed having a glass with dinner. Now when we have friends over for supper, they bring wine and I can enjoy a glass. On the very odd occasion I indulge a little too much but not that often. Really.

I love my family. I love being a mom. It has forever changed me, marked me and taught me so much. I never had roots as a child but now it is my pleasure to be the roots for my children with my husband. To be the strong foundation for our kids. To see them grow and learn, always reaching for the sky, much like the branches of a tree.

Having children has made me put myself last and I am the last one to take care of myself. When I started blogging I soon realized I was enjoying it so much that it became my me time, my pampering time to enjoy a coffee or glass of wine. To take a few minutes to tweet with friends. Taking the time to exercise and get fit, to eat well, that is also pampering my body and my heart. That is what this site is all about. Being Positive. Taking time to be Pampered, and of course Being Patty. A Positively Pampered Patty.
