After some searching I found a magic wand or spray that is, I don't iron unless its for a crafting project so here you have it:
1/3 cup liquid fabric softener (go cheap)
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup water
Mix your three ingredients and pour them into a spray bottle. Then take your wrinkled garment, place it on a hanger, spray it thoroughly (though not soaking), and give it a shake.
Mom of two trying to get by with spending as little time away from anything outside of enjoying my 3 Pilgrims! We lead a crazy life trying to make the best of every day! With my husband working 45+ hours a week an me owing my own hair salon it's hard to find time for the REAL important things in life. It's not easy but hopefully I can share some tips, vent about what's going on an learn from you. My prayer is to embrace my life everyday, hopefully you'll embrace yours too! XoXo

Homemade Laundry Soap Detergent Recipe
Here's another Homemade HOW TO for all you savvy girls out there:
For the bar soaps required in the recipes, you could try Fels-Naptha, Ivory soap, Sunlight bar soap, Kirk’s Hardwater Castile, and Zote. Don’t use heavily perfumed soaps.
1 quart Water (boiling)
2 cups Bar soap (grated)
2 cups Borax
2 cups Washing Soda
Add finely grated bar soap to the boiling water and stir until soap is melted. You can keep on low heat until soap is melted.
Pour the soap water into a large, clean pail and add the Borax and Washing Soda. Stir well until all is dissolved.
Add 2 gallons of water, stir until well mixed.
Cover pail and use 1/4 cup for each load of laundry. Stir the soap each time you use it (will gel).
4 cups of equal 1 quart
4 quarts equal a gallon

Homemade Dishwaher Detergent
Here is another homemade how to for you Savvy Girls out there:
Homemade Dishwasher Detergent
Into a 32 oz bottle with screw top (clear vinegar bottle) add:
1/2 c borax
1/2 c super washing soda
1/2 c salt
3 envelopes unsweetened lemon drink mix (Dollar General sells them for around 10 cents each)
Fill bottle nearly to top with warm water, cap, and shake well. I leave it sitting out to further dissolve. Shake well before each use. I use vinegar in my rinse dispenser. This solution smells really nice, too.
