Wow, another year flew by and here we are celebrating our 3rd 'Burbversary! Our life in the 'burbs continues to be an adventure but I wouldn't change a single thing. Here are a few things we've learned over the past year:
- How to give a lawnmower a "tune-up"
- Your local "mom & pop" hardware store is your best friend
- Cleaning your OWN gutters IS possible - who knew?
- Installing a window box is A LOT harder than you think
- Dust bunnies multiply just by looking at them - fact
- Always keep rechargeable tools charged - DUH
- Teaching the husbo how to use a caulk gun was empowering and I credit my dad for giving me this knowledge
- Having great neighbors is priceless...they will even run to the mom & pop hardware store for you when you are desperate and too embarrassed to show your face AGAIN - considering you had already been there 4 times in the same day!

Haha, the caulk gun one made me laugh! My mom was a single mom who refused to let her daughters be helpless- so we learned all sorts of DIY type skills. My husband... he's a computer guy. Needless to day, I fix the loose doorknobs, I planed the door that stuck a little bit, I drill the holes for hanging art... and I re-caulked the bathtubs! Of course, I couldn't resist running around the house talking about my caulk, and my caulk skills... hee hee hee!
Congrats and happy 'burbversary!
Gesci, I am the same way! My dad sent me off to college with a tool box...my friends looked at me like I was crazy! Needless to say, I am the one most likely to plane a door, fix a door knob, or recaulk the bathtubs. I LOVE to recaulk things! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
