A Mother's Wisdom: Life Skills That Keep a Home—and a Life—Running Smoothly Course Description: Taught by a mother who’s raised kids, managed households, stretched dollars, and solved a thousand small crises before breakfast, A Mother's Wisdom is a warm, practical, hands-on class that passes down the real-world skills every person needs to run a home and a life with confidence and grace. This is the knowledge that gets whispered over kitchen counters, figured out at 2 a.m. with a sick kid, or perfected after years of making do and making it work. No fluff, no judgment—just decades of hard-earned know-how you can start using the moment you walk out the door. What You’ll Learn: Cooking real food fast and cheap (meal planning, one-pot wonders, stretching leftovers into something people actually want to eat, baking that doesn’t fail) Household systems that save your sanity (laundry routines that work, decluttering that lasts, cleaning shortcuts that actually clean) Basic sewing and clothing repair (hemming pants, sewing on buttons, fixing seams, patching jeans so they look intentional) First-aid and home health remedies (what to keep in the medicine cabinet, when to call the doctor and when to wait, soothing everything from splinters to heartbreak) Budgeting and money wisdom (making groceries last, spotting a good deal, negotiating bills, building a small emergency fund) Hosting and hospitality on any budget (setting a beautiful table with what you already own, making guests feel truly welcome) Emotional toolkits (keeping your cool when everything’s on fire, teaching kids responsibility, knowing when to say no and when to say yes)
