Party of Six

Hello I’m Patty. I just turned 40 in February and I am on a journey to get in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I am married to an amazing man who still after 11 year of marriage and a total of 13 years together I am still so in love with. We have four children, three girls and a boy not in that order who keep us on our toes. I am a work at home mom currently a sales rep for two very different companies. One is a premier direct sales company and the other is an eco-friendly company trying hard to make a difference one little step at a time. It is a challenge to work from home and manage this chaotic family but I love it and I get to be with the kids and see their many daily adventures. I also started to blog this past September and I love it. One of the things I say a lot is that I love my life and where I am in it. I think it’s something we should all strive for.

Also, the guys had a practice last weekend and I’m now realizing that there is absolutely without a doubt nooooo...

After my last post about traveling with your baby an toddler I am on the road with my daughters who are 5 yrs and 7 yrs so no need for the stroller, playpen and other baby paraphernalia. This trip needed minimal packing compared to years gone by, but trying to figure out how to keep to our diet of gluten, sugar and dairy-free left me standing in the kitchen wondering what to take on our 2 1/2 day road trip.  I thought that if I could start...
