Welcome to the blog, y’all! What does one start a blog with? I am guessing an introduction would be appropriate. My name is Patty, I live in sunny Florida, have 4 kids 7 and under, am a lawyer by trade, and a photographer by choice. I have been married to my hubby (most refer to him as my 5th child) for 12 years and I am sure the majority of future ramblings will consist of complaints over dirty socks on the floor or something like it. I am a lover of all things crafty, and an avid Pinterester. A pinaholic, if you will. I have 3 fur babies, 2 turtles, 2 fish, and whatever other animal the kids decide to bring home next. My friends are my chosen family, who I hold near and dear to my heart. I am a sucker for all things pretty, and for finding the silver lining in life’s curveballs.
When I thought of blogging, I wasn’t exactly sure which direction to take. After all, in a way or another, we are all a jack of all trades, and there’s probably a million things I can relate to and write about. But mostly, I want to be able to connect with others over the joys and difficulties of the ordinary, and hopefully extraordinary connections will arise from that. And if all else fails, this can be a journal for my kids to someday read and finally understand why mommy needs a moment of silence every now and then or a glass of wine. Preferably both. Simultaneously.
So if anyone is still reading this, tell me where you’re from. Tell me why you read blogs. Tell me something about yourself, virtual friend!
Until next rambling,
Patty
