I love to iron!

I have enjoyed ironing since I was a teenager. I know so many people who loathe this homemaking chore, but I absolutely love it! There is something quite rewarding about ironing out wrinkles from a garment. I find ironing to be calming and I generally do it when there are no distractions because, well, let's face it, hot iron + little ones running around = disaster! So, I iron when they are sleeping, and find it quite therapeutic.

I started ironing my stepfather's handkerchief's when I was a teenager, and then when I enlisted in the Air Force (after basic training) it was my responsibility to make sure my uniform was crisply pressed each day for work. I remember lots of new Airman jesting about how stiff they were able to iron their sleeves; so stiff that if you got too close their sleeves might cut you.

Now that I am a homemaker and have the responsibility of ironing clothes for my husband and children (and myself), I have been disappointed at the store bought starches for years. I can never truly get the clothes as crisply ironed as I would like. I found a solution, and I'd love to share it with you at Southern SCENTSabilities! You can learn to easily make your own ironing starch using essential oils!

I hope that you will head over and see how easy it is to make your own ironing starch without being exposed to toxic chemicals! Yuck!
