Storage

Get rid of the iron

Remove yourself from the risk of burning clothes and yourself by not using an iron altogether. Folding clothes that have been dried in a dryer is the best option. Also, in order to straighten out creases, hang clothes in the bathroom while taking a hot shower.

Stop stressing about your kid's playroom

Playrooms are meant to be messy and they always will be. So stop emulating the spic and span playrooms that magazines usually depict as it is nothing but a waste of time. As soon as you're done arranging the Barbies and Legos, it will only last two minutes before the room is back to it's usual state of disarray. You need to accept this and move on.
