I hate wrinkles. And I hate ironing. But I also really hate how expensive the dry cleaner is. I’ve found that my small apartment is the worst for keeping clothes wrinkle free because everything gets smooshed in the closet or crumbled on the floor (keeping it real).
While we were in Alaska, Julia and Thomas whipped out this amazing steamer. Most of my clothes were fine from being in the suitcase, but my hiking pants were horribly wrinkled. (Please don’t judge me for wanting to get rid of wrinkles in my hiking pants of all garments!)
Anyway, the steamer they used worked unbelievably well– even better than an iron would have done and definitely way faster. The best part is that it’s portable so you really can travel with it if you so choose to give up a fraction of your suitcase.
I immediately bought the steamer when I got back to NYC. Best $30 I’ve ever spent. THIRTY dollars. (That’s how much it costs me to dry clean three dresses in my neighborhood. Bam!)
Before
I bought this Old Navy dress the other day and passed on the shopping bag and instead just rolled the dress into my handbag. Unfortunately my dress got very wrinkled. Fortunately I had my steamer on hand.
Usually I just sprinkle water over wrinkled clothing and hang them up to dry, but this seems a much more effective method 😛 And wow, the price is very student-friendly! Thanks for the share 😀 -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
I discovered how awesome using a steamer is after working in retail. They're amazing! I have a full size stand up steamer and I will never go back to ironing clothes again. I even use mine on all the curtains for my windows!
I have probably too much experience with steamers between working retail and having worked for my sorority for a year (just think about all those table linens for recruitment that sit in boxes for 11 months…) and I have used many steamers.
The Rowenta steamer you posted is one of the better ones – not my favorite but it gets the job done quickly! My pet peeve about it is the small water capacity (like REALLY small) – you have to refill it multiple times if you're steaming more than one item. For travel I use the travel steamer by My Little Steamer – it's $20 from Bed Bath and Beyond, super light weight, heats up crazy fast and gets the wrinkles out! Bringing your own steamer with you is so much better than relying on a hotel iron that may or may not melt your clothing or put a massive black mark on it!
I just got a steamer for Christmas and it is freaking amazing!! I don't think it's always faster than ironing but it definitely does a better job, and for some reason is more fun. I have the My Little Steamer from Bed Bath & Beyond too. I got my mom hooked on it too.
We have a large Rowenta steamer/iron combo, because sometimes there are things that still have to be ironed I love it so much!! I always want to buy mine for college grads (but it's such a boring gift) this smaller, cheaper one would be a great add on gift!!
I'm obsessed with my steamer! It was the best purchase I've ever made. When I went off to college it was the best thing I packed. It saves me so much time and always keeps me looking neat. I really hate wrinkles i (I even steam my gym clothes). It's literally perfect! Enjoy yours!
I was just thinking that maybe I should get a steamer after I bought a silk shirt and it came home totally wrinkled from the bag. Glad to have a recommendation to go off of (and a well-priced one to boot!)
I HATE ironing, too. My mom irons all my clothes, which is awesome, but I'm moving out. I put a steamer on my wedding registry, and I'm hoping that it will be as wonderful as you say!
This is amazing! I am definitely picky about my laundry (as in, I will refold a shirt several times before I'm satisfied…drives my husband crazy) so this seems right up my alley! As careful as I am with folding and hanging, my closet and drawers are packed to the gills so wrinkles definitely happen. I am adding this to my list for once my self-imposed month-long spending freeze is over. Thanks for the recommendation Carly!
….I may have just bought that mini steamer. LOL I hate when my button downs are all wrinkly and I can be incredibly lazy about taking my stuff to the dry cleaner. Thanks for the tip!
I'm such a weirdo, but I don't mind ironing when I'm at home! But traveling is a completely different story and after reading this I think I definitely need to invest in one 🙂

Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep. Use code MOTHERSDAY15 for 15% off!
We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️

I love portable steamers! I'm always using them to help de-wrinkle my clothes!
