In The Know and In The News

Welcome!

I am so glad that you stopped over to the Wednesday Know-How and News!  This is the first in hopefully a long line of these fun days...a tip of some kind for "In The Know," and news from around the world for, "In The News."  Sweet, simple and to the point!

In The Know

This week, we are going to address ironing.  I enjoy ironing.  That was my chore from when I was about eleven or twelve until I moved out (amongst many other things).  We were always dressed up for Sunday and there were many other occasions in which we wore nicely ironed clothing as well.  The ironing basket was always heaping, but I did not mind it, I rather enjoyed it!

Now, my husband needs to dress well and present himself well on the job, and my sons are starting to dress better as well.  Men look so professional, clean and neat in a nice button down shirt that is crisply ironed. I am teaching my sons that how they dress on the outside should and does reflect on the man they are becoming on the inside.  In other words, "Dress to impress (when the occasion calls for it)."

On a more personal note...perhaps even a selfish perspective on ironing for my family.  I was raised to believe that how my family presents themselves is a direct reflection on me.  My Grandmother always said, "If my husband walks out of the house looking like I do not take care of him, some other woman will take him home and take care of him."  Hmmmm...those are some deep words to ponder.  And as we all know...Grandma was always right!
