Adulting is hard. I get it.

There’s no reason to pretend like you know everything. Home-Ec101 is here to help. Every week a couple of new articles are posted. These articles generally stick to some main topics:

  1. Cooking
  2. Cleaning
  3. Laundry
  4. Basic home repair
  5. Emergency Preparedness
  6. Life Skills

If you think about it, Home-Ec 101 covers everything you’d call your parents for, without the chance of getting stuck on the phone and hearing about great aunt Mary’s latest medical procedure.

There’s also no guilt, pressure, or judgment either, no questions about when you’re going to settle down or leave that no good so and so. We’re just here to answer your questions about how to get rid of that stain, make that recipe, or get your house in order. You’ve got this, we’re just here as your backup.
