Why?

I am not a writer and I will not pretend to be, I am creating this blog because after a year and a half of renovating our first house to flip I feel that I have gained some knowledge that may help regular women, like me, believe that they can actually do home reno's.

To set the record straight, I am not a tomboy, I dream of the largest walk in closet with the most shoes and purses any girl can want, power tools scare the crap out of me, I don't like dirt under my finger nails and I was terrified the first credit card bill I got that had more hardware store purchases then retail stores. However, I have grown since that initial freak out. After a weekend with a few girlfriends I realized, this whole decorating, real estate, "it doesn't match, it goes" business is more difficult then it seemed when I was submerged in it and maybe I have learned more about finding a deal and decorating tips then I thought, so now, I will share.

What do I plan to write about? silly things, like how to make your Kleenex (and home) smell "delicious", the minor differences between room filler and dust collectors, my neurotic and stalking behaviour towards my real estate agent, how to redo a bathroom floor and keep up your boyfriend because he is not helping, our search for our next nest, and anything else I can think of. Some days I may wander on rants about shopping or weddings or finances or relationships, but for the most part I plan on humorously imparting wisdom about house renos from a female point of view because I truly believe, if you can't be a good example, be a terrible warning.

This could suck, and it may be deleted in a week, but please read and make comments, I love swapping ideas or advice.
