The Importance of Maintaining Your Home and Garden

Hello, my name is Erica. I live in a large house in western Sydney. I moved into this place when my mother passed away. I had been living abroad for many years, so I hadn't been back to the house for many years. I was shocked at the state of the place when I got back. My mother had let the garden grow into a jungle and the inside of the house was in a real state. I called in a team of home and garden contractors who set to work restoring the place. I learnt so much from the guys as they worked on my place that I decided that I would like to start a blog. Enjoy!
