Two goals, One Blog

For the longest time I have been telling myself two things:

1) I want to learn how to fix things around the house. I rely on my husband for almost everything home maintenance related. I can change a lightbulb. That's seriously about it. I just want to be more independent. One day I may need to rely on myself. I realized this after he was injured and needed surgery on his hand. Luckily, we were living with his parents at the time, but his recovery was long and he relied on me for pretty much everything for a few weeks. Anything can happen! Also, I just want to be a more well-rounded and knowledgeable woman.

2) I want to blog about fixing things...and cooking! I want other women to be able to read my blog and either be inspired to try new things or use some entries as a tutorial. I love to cook, so I don't mind sharing my culinary attempts either.

My friend Sarah mentioned to me that she would like for us to get together with our other girlfriends once a month and learn how to do things. This came from an article she read here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/justinabarca/skills-your-grandparents-had-that-you-dont. In 2014, we are going to do that! I think this will be a good place to share our experiences as well. I've never blogged before, but here's to trying new things!
