Instead of my own Toot, I'm "tooting" for this cool chick, Tina! She was a participant in last week's Toot Your Horn Tuesday.
She's got a great blog! Let me tell you! She's a stay at home mom of 4 (like me, except that I'm now working part time!) and she shares all kinds of tips for living frugally. Her entry last week was a tip about a homemade wrinkle release concoction to aid in laundry time and hopefully help us avoid bringing out the ol' ironing board. Well, as soon as I read it, I had to try it!! Ironing might actually be a relaxing chore if I could turn on the t.v. and take my time to do it right, but who has the time?!
I found my son's clean laundry balled up on his bed this week, so I grabbed a couple shirts, hung them on hangers, treated them as directed by Tina, and guess what...It Worked!! By the way, my boys all do their own laundry! It's a rule in this house once you hit middle school. Parents: If You Are Doing Your Teenager's Laundry, then You Are Crazy!! I say, make them do it!
Anyway, Tina deserves a nice pat on the back. I'm looking forward to learning more from her blog! Make sure you visit her!
See there! I visit as many participants as I can and when I find a post that really impresses me, I just have to share!

Forgot to mention, I have my kids loading and starting the washer when they are 4, then folding and putting their laundry away once it is dry. I move it from the washer to the dryer for them, since that is a tough reach for little arms. But it is never too early to get it started with the use of a good step stool or chair! :)
Thanks for hosting Leah, I've linked up for a second week!

Thanks so much for letting me join your linky party again!
Good Morning Leah. I am new here, but decided it was high time I came and partied along. My post is a bit of tooting my own horn and a little of tooting someone else's horn. I hope you don't mind.
Thank you for hosting the party!
I would do the laundry but I have to say I don't Every one does their own and sometimes mine.
I am soooooo lucky ;)
Thanks for hosting this blog party every week! I'll try to get back often. Love your blog!
thanks for sharing tina with us. i need all the frugal tips i can get.
Just found your blog in some roundabout way, and it looks great! My 8 children either help with or do their own laundry, too. I couldn't do it all myself if I tried!
Thanks for hosting this party, can't wait to check out all the goodies!
Love Toot Your Horn Tuesday!

Thanks for being a great hostess!
Also, great idea about the laundry! : )
I don't mind ironing. As long as I don't have to do it ever again in my life. I wish someone would pass a law stating that ironing is completely illegal and forbidden from now to eternity. Ah, well, I think I'm going to check out that tip, thanks so much for it.
And thanks for being such a wonderful host Leah!
Thanks for the party! It's great to see what everyone is up to and get some great ideas!
Good for you for teaching your children to do their own laundry! I am always shocked when I hear about teenagers that don't do their laundry. I can't imagine!
Thanks for hosting another great link party! It's so nice to see what everyone is doing!
Thanks for hosting! My daughter is 11. She started doing her own laundry last year. Makes her think twice about throwing something that isn't dirty into the hamper!
first time linking up!
Thanks for hosting this fun link party! I love to see what everyone else has been up to!
What a fun party idea! And I just checked out Tina's blog and love it! Thanks for giving her a shout out. :)
I now have fabric softener on my store list.
I figure I can spray my three boys down before the walk out the door in the morning. And MAYBE no one will notice that they pulled their clothes off the closet floor. Lol!
Thanks for hosting..Always a great party!!!!!!!!
