i can help because i've been there
Six years ago, I was overwhelmed with the cyclic mom duties and needed an outlet for me. DIY saved me.
I struggled with the transition from working mom to stay at home home of 3 young kids. The constant picking up of toys, dishes, and messes was running my life and I just needed something with a beginning and an end.
Each day I would work a little on a DIY project to fill my cup and make me a better mom. Excited as I found forward progress on something I BUILT with my own two hands.
I found me again through DIY. I found happiness in my home built by me which in turn made me a better wife, mom, and friend.

"So grateful for Christine & the community she has built that makes all of us feel like we can do such things.
Best part is having my kids be so proud of me and knowing they see their MOM as the one making this happen!"
I finally did my first 100% build! And I had to get my garage cleared and my workshop done before doing anything else! Plus I needed a workbench!
I am sooooooo glad that I took this course! If I didn’t do it, I’m not sure I would have even started! Thanks Christine! Not sure I would have done all this without you!

Now I have finished the basics of my first project...turning my office into a bedroom so my girls don’t have to share anymore. I was suffering from major depression and anxiety to the point of suicidal thoughts, and this course and project gave me a goal to work towards. I’m so proud of myself and my accomplishments and using power tools (other than a drill) for the first time. Thank you, Christine, for giving me the confidence to tackle this and for getting me through a really tough time in my life

Before this course, I had only used a drill. After I’ve done a few small projects....pantry shelves, board and batten wall, etc. But I never in a million years imagined I could build something like this. Thanks Christine for your motivating course and inspiration.

"Anyone who is still a bit intimidated to start.
I can honestly say taking the first step is the hardest part!"
"I bought Christine's DIY Beginner course back in November because I had so many dreams, but not really the courage to do anything. I figured investing in some empowerment (and fabulous tutorials) was the best self-investment I could make to get these dreams off the ground! I took my time, but I’m so proud of my hallway makeover! I wanted to share this with anyone who is still a bit intimidated to start. I can honestly say taking the first step is the hardest part!
I’m crafty my nature, but I never really thought I was capable of pulling off home improvement projects like this! I hope you find this inspiring to take the plunge if something is holding you back!

45 day money back guarantee!
If you have completed the course in its entirety and are unhappy with the content, please email hello@honeybuilthome.com for a full refund. No refunds will be offered after 45 days regardless of reason.
Do you offer a money back guarentee?
Yes and no. Ideally for this course and if you are serious about starting to DIY, you should own a miter saw, a drill, and a nail gun. These are what I call the necessity tools, but if you have a neighbor or a family member you can borrow them from what works as well. If you have a DIY Bestie, you can go in on tools together and lower the cost as well as purchase refurbished/lightly used tools from places such as eBay, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace. Specialty tools can also be rented from your local hardware store if you. Need it for just one project. My rule of thumb is when you go to start a new project include a portion of your budget to buy the one tool you’ll need for that project. No need to fill a workshop with tools that you may or may not use.
Will I need to buy tools?
Yes! We offer 2 monthly payments of $140. You do get immediate access to the course after the initial payment. The 2nd payment will be an autopay. Click here to purchase the course with a payment plan.
