]]> IronI love reading blogs that are obviously from a different part of the world than I live.  I have recently found Irish Craftworker.  It is a great site for all kinds of crafts and ideas as to what to do with your kids.  However, recently Rebecca has mentioned the long forgotten art of ironing.  To be honest with you, in my house, ironing will be probably forgotten for a lot longer if it means that I loose a little bit of sleep in the mornings HAHA!  I totally agree with her that our time as parents is better spent playing with our kids and taking a fraction of a second for ourselves than slaving over a hot iron that would probably just burn my favorite shirt.  Nice to know that I have iron-free friends.

]]> downy-wrinkle-releaser.jpgBy now you know I am weird with some things.  I don’t like to do laundry but I love to iron.  It’s a little like therapy with some great contemporary Christian music going. But when my husband needs a shirt in the morning and it needs ironing, I don’t have time to do it and watch the DD and get everything ready to leave for work.  So I have for years used Downy’s Wrinkle Releaser.  Not only does it smell great but this morning it worked a miracle once again.  I put my husband’s shirt in the dryer to get the wrinkles out.  However, there wasn’t enough clothing in there to keep the clothes tumbling.  Instead, the shirt looked horrible when I took it out of the dryer.  So I sprayed Downy on it and in less than 30 seconds of shaking, the shirt looked freshly pressed and smelled divine!  With this product, who needs an iron for shirts?

I can’t stop there though.  I will be on the hunt to find a recipe for a wrinkle free concoction that will be free.  I can’t help it.  HA! HA!
