What is the "School of Life"?
⭐ Imagine your kids mastering age-appropriate life skills, from folding laundry at 4 to safely chopping veggies at 13. ⭐
These aren’t just chores — they’re confidence-builders. From knowing emergency phone numbers to cooking their first meal, your kids will feel capable (and you’ll feel relieved).
I’ve been doing “The School of Life” with my kids for years, and it's completely transformed our household dynamic.
Ready to see that same shift in your family?
How did this all start?
The best advice I got as a new mom was to start having my kids help out from an early age. It’s more work on the front end, but it pays dividends in the long run.
Think about it: when was the last time you heard about “home ec” or “typing” class? Schools no longer teach basic life skills, but our kids still need them. That’s why I created the School of Life—to fill in the gaps and teach practical skills every child should know.
And let me tell you, there’s nothing better than kids who make their beds without being asked.
What To Expect
Start with 5 free lessons — delivered straight to your inbox — and watch your kids gain confidence in real-life skills.
Each lesson covers essentials from laundry to scissors, typing, or cooking an egg, all broken down by age so you know exactly how to teach it.
Love the first 5? Upgrade anytime and keep the momentum going with 19+ additional lessons. Each new lesson will arrive in your inbox every Tuesday — giving your kids (and you!) something to look forward to each week.
Because let’s be real: it’s way more fun watching your kids do the dishes than watching them watch you do the dishes.

Hi, I’m Ali!
I’m a Mom to three amazing girls, and the founder of My Kids Made Me Buy It - a growing community of 26,000+ moms, aunts, and families who count on me for practical parenting picks that actually work.
Around here, I share two things moms like us never have enough of: smart parenting tips and practical finds that make life easier. From finding family-friendly movies, books, and games to those “how did I not know about this sooner?” mom hacks — everything I share is tested in the chaos of real life with my own crew.
Parenting is hard. The choices never stop. That’s why I created The School of Life: to take one decision off your plate and help your kids build the confidence, independence, and skills they’ll carry for life.
Join my kids and I for The School of Life. We can’t wait to learn with you!
P.S. Don’t worry, there are no grades 😉
