Teaching life skills is such an important part of homeschooling. My favorite part of homeschooling is the extra free time we have in our days to learn important life skills.

Did you ever take shop class in Highschool? I found out just recently, that our local public highschool doesn’t even offer shop or woodworking class anymore. This was such a great home-ec type of class for our kids to learn important skills for home care and repair. This is such a vital life skill that is rarely taught anymore.

HERE is a great resource that gives you a detailed list on how to put together your own household repair tool kit.
