Hi, I’m Brittany (aka Pretty Handy Girl).
I’m so excited that you found my blog. This blog is for anyone who wishes they were handy and could make their own repairs, upgrades or become a true do-it-yourselfer at home. This blog is my way of sharing and empowering others to tackle their own project.
I have always enjoyed beautifying things, especially my home. My idea of a relaxing day is working in my garage (aka workshop) and building something. The smell of freshly cut wood tends to ease away the tension of the week. Also being able to have the gratification of completing something tangible really makes my day! (Maybe this is because it is so hard to complete a task when you have children un-doing your work behind you.)
The other days of my week are spent entertaining my two little charges (two little energizer boys); housekeeping; and running my other two businesses. One is a graphic design/web design/illustration business and the other is selling baby carriers online.
A wish to empower
I hope this blog will inspire you to try something on your own. My mantra is that if someone can do it, then there is a 95% chance that I can do it too! As a woman, I refuse to bow to the stereotypes that women aren’t handy. From a young age, my father and mother taught me and my two sisters that we could do anything a man could do (and sometimes better!)
Please join me on my DIY journey as I show you some of the accomplishments and pitfalls of doing it yourself!
If you like my blog, please share the empowerment by displaying our button on your website (see the side bar to grab the button.)

Please forgive me if it takes a few days to respond to your email. Being the owner of two businesses, this blog, and running after two young children keeps me “pretty” busy.
