Do you ever feel like you missed the day in school where they taught you...literally everything you were going to need for a successful adulthood? How do you iron clothes? Where do friends come from? Why are there so many types of insurance? Does everyone else already know this stuff, and where did they learn it?

  • Replacing a button or sewing a hem to rescue old clothes
  • Making a budget and sticking to it
  • Hosting a party--and making small talk at a party
  • Holding a baby, whether it's yours or someone else's
  • And more
