The Beginning...



     As 2012 draws to an end I've decided to embark on a new journey. Just like many life journeys I don't know the final destination or the stops along the way, but I go into it with excitement and enthusiasm. 
     For my first post I want you to know what I hope to accomplish in this small space in the blogosphere. 
     My partner and I have bought and completely redone two homes in the past 4 years. From these experiences I've learned many tricks along the way. These tricks not only save money, but also time. I plan on sharing the latest design trends, solutions for design dilemmas, seasonal and everyday decor ideas, and my many other “projects”.     
     One thing I want to avoid is putting limits on what I share. For me to feel a real purpose or passion behind this I must make it authentic and true to myself, so I will share anything that I learn along the way that may help even one person reading this.
     Through this blog you are going to get insight into my domestic adventures in cooking, organizing, gardening, and any other mess I get myself into. My goal is for this blog to serve as a learning experience for both of us. Do not expect that everything I attempt will be perfect or even great. I've done many projects and attempted many recipes that have been complete flops. I plan on sharing those with you, so that you can learn from my mistakes. 
     Along the way I will probably share healthy lifestyle tips including fitness and cooking techniques that I picked up on my own weight loss journey. This is another passion of mine, because I know firsthand the freedom that comes from this particular journey. I also know the struggle to begin and stay on that path.
     Lastly, I want this blog to be a place where you can share, ask questions, laugh, and learn. Allow this space to be a comfortable and safe environment for you to explore and improve your own domestic prowess and outlook. 
    So grab your glue gun, paint brush, baking dish, and quite possibly your workout gear, and join me.
Best,
Christopher
