At Amy's 2 1/2 yo checkup she picked up an iron and held it to her ear and said 'moshi moshi?' *^_^* I do think your Dh should make it easy for himself and put the ironing board on a table at least!shinshu lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687535978619731812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25713648.post-76932618143387549422011-06-06T18:28:39.337+09:002011-06-06T18:28:39.337+09:00Granny K irons hub's shirts and I don't ha...Granny K irons hub's shirts and I don't have anything that needs ironing either.

He usually only has to google how to tie a tie once every few years. Though we have a rush of special ocassions this year, still few enough to justify dry cleaning. He certainly wouldn't want to wear a shirt that either of us ironed!Xanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455990012935032853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25713648.post-11281129083133430982011-06-06T07:13:17.825+09:002011-06-06T07:13:17.825+09:00I loved this post Jo!

Luckily none of us need anything to be ironed though. ; ) <br /><br />Though come to think of it, I had a pair of khaki capri pants that looked really wrinkled a few weeks ago. Which they usually never do. But I put them on hoping against hope they wouldn't "look" wrinkled after I putGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02427544303742999100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25713648.post-58676257356282693762011-06-05T22:16:21.997+09:002011-06-05T22:16:21.997+09:00This was a cute post!!

We had those same boards in Saipan- there were "real" ones but way too expensive.

You can imagine my excitement when we found a proper, life-sized one in a poky little shop in the town we moved to after we got married. Good for you, making your husband iron his own shirts. I lost that battle long ago, mainly because he was just so bloody hopeless at it when I tried to teach him.Clare Mareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16649051146009841405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25713648.post-72456364797042753732011-06-05T22:05:07.303+09:002011-06-05T22:05:07.303+09:00I like to think there are a few reasons *my* wife ...I like to think there are a few reasons *my* wife might wish I was able to do more gymnastic poses.
