I can remember my grandma ironing everything as it came out of the dryer! I aspire to do that, but like you always seem to have a basket full of ironing! My other idea- (besides my grandma's crazy ways)- is to just have your hubby do it! The other night, I was so far behind, that my hubby took pity on me and got the ironing board out and did his own ironing for me- boy did I feel like a failure!! Good Luck! Kelly

LOL!! My ironing pile mostly consist of my girls dresses. Once they are old enough, I will teach them how to iron and they can iron their own clothes. :) Ironing the same day you wash is another great idea. I'm hoping to do that, but I know it won't always happen. :)

I try to stick to wrinkle free clothing as much as possible. When I am washing something that often needs ironing by the time I get it out of the dryer I will usually just pull it out of the wet load and shake it briskly and then let it hang to air dry instead. The only clothes I really iron anymore are Lee's, and only a few of them. I probably should iron more but everyone looks decent and I just usually don't have the time! How DID our grandmothers do it ?!

Here is my secret: DON'T IRON! (Hee hee). Although not possible in your case I am sure but for me, I truly don't. The only time I iron is when I am quilting. Clothes.. wrinkle free. Husband who does not wear anything needing ironed! Good luck though. Glad you got it all accomplished. It feels good huh? Letisha

Ironically - (no pun intended:) The best way I have found to keep up on my ironing is having a teenager daughter. LOL My oldest is good about doing the ironing and does a pretty good job. We also use cloth napkins and my 10 year old irons those - (not that I really need them ironed; but it is good practice for other clothing someday) Perhaps you could adopt a teenager? Just joking. I would think waiting a few years for your girls to get older might be an easier solution. :) Have a great day. Jane

It's in my laundry schedule. Everyday I wash something different and on Saturday I have only 2 loads so I iron on Saturday. Christian Love, MarineMama (Megan)

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. Once my oldest is old enough, one of her chores will be to do the ironing. :) I have been trying to keep on top of it and so far so good. I do wonder how our grandmothers did it all? My grandmother ironed almost everything including undergarments!
