Excuse to Iron?

That's right.  I said it.  And I was only 80% kidding.  I do, sort of, like to iron if I can make whatever I'm ironing smell like lavender mint linen water at the same time.  Linen Water.  Who needs febreeze when I can use this diy linen water recipe as linen spray, room spray, couch and carpet freshener, and since I keep it in my bedroom I often spray our bed while I'm making it up.  Mmmm ... fresh sheets even when they're not fresh.  Tricky.   

and yes mom, I make my bed.

I wish you could smell it, but here's the recipe for my DIY Linen Water:

Dump the following into a spray bottle (dollar store) and shake before each use

1/4c Vodka
3c water (distilled if you happen to have it kicking around - I certainly don't)
100 drops of Lavender essential oil
5-10 drops of peppermint, rosemary or basil essential oil

You can tell from the vodka bottle how much linen water I must go through.  I really like to iron.
