I would love to tell you that this is my full-time job and my complete life mission, but I make my bread and butter elsewhere, raise a toddler (Olivia) and confuse a boyfriend (Kyle). I have some experience but no time, no formal training and no money. My only saving grace is that I love figuring things out, I\u2019m great at improvising and I\u2019m always inspired.\n\nFor the record, some things that I do (play with electricity, for one) may seem risky, and some of them are. I will always tell you what I\u2019ve done, but I won\u2019t ever suggest things for you that aren\u2019t safe. Even though I push the envelope, I am only marginally incompetent. If sources (boyfriend, father, my brain, Google) tell me not to do something then I usually won\u2019t. But if I do try and it blows up in my face (figuratively or literally) you will hear all about it, and you hopefully won\u2019t attempt it.\n\nAt the end of the day, I hope to inspire you. Space-Lift isn\u2019t just a blog, it\u2019s a verb. It\u2019s an action that brightens your surroundings by assaulting everything that needs improvement. Nothing is off limits, and all possibilities will be considered.","emails":[{"primary":"true","value":"KristenVanLoon@gmail.com"}],"urls":[{"value":"http:\/\/www.homeexperiments.wordpress.com","title":"Space Lift Blog!"}]}]}
