When I first moved out, I had no home management skills. Not one. I was so bad at managing a home that I once broke our VCR while ironing. (not even joking about that one!).
Twenty-five years of marriage has enabled me to learn plenty of home management skills! If I can learn them, you can too!
Between cleaning, cooking, organizing, and small repairs, managing a home is a full time job. Teach your children these skills as you learn them too.
Many of these tips are not difficult to learn. Once you can do them yourself, you’ll save money on projects and your home will be cleaner and more organized.
