First post! I am very excited to be starting this blog. For many years I’ve desired putting one together to document my hobbies and all the things that interest me. I have made several attempts in the past but it never stuck. As tumultuous as last year was, it provided some opportunity to evaluate my goals and put some thought into how to execute them. After doing some research, I’m giving it a go!
My goal is to make this blog a chronicled amalgamation of the things I love: DIY, home decor, family and taking you on our journey of homeownership.
Speaking of homeownership…
Needless to say, 2020 was a hell of a year for most. While our family was impacted by the fallout of COVID-19, there was a major bright spot that occurred at the top of the year. We bought our first home! A three bedroom/two and a half bathroom place of our very own. The process of buying the house was both exciting and stressful, which is the case even under normal circumstances. But we’re crazy and I’m impatient so we put an offer in on the house during Christmastime in 2019, a week before going on a week long international cruise with limited internet access. I don’t recommend doing that. Maybe I’ll blog about that whole experience in more detail one day. But it all worked out and we moved in February of 2020.
Of course we have a mile long list of projects and things we want to do with the house. The pandemic has slowed our roll a bit so we haven’t been able to move full speed ahead with everything. I’ve recently realized that it’s a good thing as there is something to living in a space for a while to truly get a feel for whether your ideas will work and even if you really want to follow through with them.
We are excited to slowly tick things off our list and I look forward to sharing how we transform each space and turn the house into our home. I’ll also be sharing tidbits about our life and adventures along the way. With that said, thanks for dropping by and please read on! Feedback is most welcome so feel free to write me or comment on my posts.
