Hi, I’m Patty…
Yes, I am your typical mom.
I have a million things going on and chaos around me at all times. There are mouths to feed, messes to clean, tears to wipe and wounds to fix. I have three kids all within three and a half years so you can imagine the fun in our house. My husband and I are also very social people and love surrounding ourselves with our closest family and friends. With that however, there are even more events, activities and parties added on to our already crazy lives.
The thing is, I wouldn’t change this life for anything so for that reason, I just needed a way to learn how to navigate through this crazy life and make sure I am not playing the constant game of catch up. I also want to make sure that I am my best self for my husband and my babies and that requires maintaining control of not only my life but my health and happiness as well.
With all that being said, I confess….even without the chaos around me I am forever forgetful. I wrote lists early on in my life and I swear my brain has been trained to not remember anything unless it’s written down. There I said it… I literally write everything down and have lists on lists on lists.
I will also let you know however, that I pride myself on having a smooth running machine with systems in place that allow me to always stay on top of everything. The lists are my machine and the content are my systems.
Not only do I have a passion for lists, but I also love research. Research and data analytics were a huge part of my career and is a huge part of my life. When I am interested in a topic, I research everything about it there is to know. I mean everything… every angle, viewpoint, study, pros, cons, statistics etc. Knowledge is power and the internet has so much information and I want it all. So, for those of you who do not like researching… you’re welcome :).
In this blog I promise to deliver to you… lists, ideas and content that will not only help you manage the chaos of everyday life but enable you to stay ahead of the game, remember everything and lead you feeling lighter, happier and more in control. And the best part is… it’s all in one place :).
I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I enjoy making these lists and sharing my ideas to help moms just like you!
