Have you ever looked around and wondered where the time has gone? I think we all probably have. When I got married and joined the world of “grownups” years ago, I didn’t have a clue how many new things I would learn as the years passed. I think that is probably typical of most people. For a long time, it has been a goal of mine to learn something new every day. Sometimes I actually manage to do it. Other times I slip. After my wife and I started having kids, the learning curve got pretty steep for a while, but I’ve loved every minute of it.
We all have goals, or at least I think we ought to. I’m sure you’ve got plenty of goals for yourself. They probably don’t include reading my life story, so I’ll keep this as short as I can. For years, one of my goals has been to start a website and grow it into something worthwhile. I’ve finally gotten around to it, and you are looking at it. If I am doing what I planned, then YOU will find something useful and/or entertaining here. I want The Home Adventure to be more than a blog. Its focus is home, life, and hopefully some useful tips. If you don’t have a site of your own and have something useful that you’d like to share, drop me a line with the contact form and we’ll talk (or at least email). As long as it’s original, I might include it here. Otherwise, you can always feel free to share a constructive comment.
You won’t find this to be the fanciest site on the Internet. I don’t have the inclination to keep pace with all of the people who are experts in all things technical related to making websites. You’ll find posts on simple home improvement ideas, organizing your home, favorite home products, and maybe some stuff about family, and who knows what else will come to mind. I recently helped a neighbor who was doing battle with mice in her house. I never would have thought about mice as a topic to write about until that day, but now I have a post all about getting rid of mice!
If you have any good ideas you’d like to share, or topics you’d like to see answered, well, I do love researching
stuff. My family has made fun of me in the past because I love to read books filled with “useless knowledge” and the only TV shows I’ll usually watch are on Discovery and The History Channel (although I do have a weakness for Modern Family). So, feel free to send your ideas along too.
If you like to buy things, I hope you’ll like the reviews I’ve included. When I find something that I like, it only seems fair to share what I’ve learned. I’ve got a relative who researches everything he purchases every which way before he’ll buy. I respect him for that, but that’s not me. I like to check new things out for myself, and writing reviews gives me a reason to go out and get new stuff to try. I’ll let you and him read about what I’ve learned if you’re interested.
If you have read this far, I commend you on your patience. I hope you will find something that you were looking for, or something that you ended up enjoying by accident. Please feel free to look around and please be sure to check out the Home Blog.
