Homemaking 101: Level up your homemaking skills
Homemaking is too real and nitty-gritty for the likes of Martha Stewart. Making a home is not about putting on a perfect party or decorating the mantel just so.
Making a home is about creating a place for life to happen – and that’s both messy and joyous. We can embrace both aspects of homemaking. In fact, we must.
If you feel like you need some homemaking help, know that you are not alone. This selection of resources is only the tip of the iceberg that you will find here at Simply Convivial.
