Hi Steph - I am a 74-year-old grandmother that lives on the gulf coast of Texas near Houston. I love seeing this video and would like to see how you manage and what your life is like through the whole Reno. I’m sure that’s a lot of work but it kind of looks like fun too. My daughter and son-in-law and my granddaughter who was then four years old (she’s now 24), came to live with me for seven months while their home was being renovated. They had planned to rent an apartment but I convinced them to come here and save the money to put in on their home. It worked out great. I have a big home and at that time I was still working. My daughter and her family had the run of the house and she fix dinner every night. I cleaned up and did the dishes afterwards and then just went to my bedroom to watch TV a little while before I went to bed and had to get up early the next morning for work. I loved my granddaughter getting her bath and running and jumping into bed with me with her books for me to read. It was a good memory. When they left I told my daughter I sure missed her cooking and she told me she sure missed my cleaning up. Ha ha I bet you this will be good memories for you and your family. Just try to make it fun and focus on that. Many blessings and I look forward to keeping up with you and your family this summer.

This is so lovely!! 😊❤

I live in Ireland and everyone hangs clothes outside as soon as there is any good weather. In fact it’s one of the highlights of the summer ! Well known saying here “ Grand day for drying!” 😆

I think the very best thing about your videos is that you share real life - not picture perfect, beyond belief, how could anyone else ever measure up - no just real life. When you are having a baby, moving, preparing for Reno’s, moving again (temporarily no less) and so on - that is how people’s lives actually go - there is always something and some things are bigger than others but with a smile on your face and encouragement for shining through you tackle what is handed to you and figure out how to make the best of it. Keep doing what you are doing - it is real help for real people living real lives! Hope you and your family enjoy your backyard adventure this summer!!

Small space living really needs a place for EVERYTHING and making that place obvious to each family member.

Would love to see weekly updates on your renovations in your home. Also would love to see how you are preparing meals and attempting to set up new routines. What an adventure you will have this summer living in your backyard. I hope you do not have many thunderstorms or super hot days to deal with while camping in your backyard. Living in middle Tennessee........ summers can be super hot and explosive with storms. Love all of your videos!

We lived for 6 months in a caravan (what you call a trailer) that was only 16 feet long! The dining table had to be made into our bed each night & our 3 sons (then aged 6, 8 & 10) used 3 of the 4 bunk beds at the other end of the caravan with 1 bed as our storage bed!! It was challenging but we all still have fond memories of it. We also realised how few clothes, dishes & general items we actually used & needed on a day to day basis. Most Aussies only use clothes lines to dry our clothes... we do! It's way cheaper & saves wear & tear on the clothes!🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

You're amazing! I could never live 1 week in a trailer with 3 small children, let alone 4 months! You're a rock star! Love your videos and your content and am really enjoying Slob Sisters podcasts.

What a great opportunity for kids to learn skills and responsibilities with their space! Having a calendar, could be a fun way to keep track of how long until reno is complete, while at the same time, rewarding for great jobs done by the kiddos!

I know what you're going through. We stayed in a trailer half that size with 6 of us for 6 months while my house was being built. When we moved in the trailer, I prayed and asked God for help to get through this thinking we would only be there 3 months. Unfortunately, it took 6 months to finish the house. Buuuut...we made it through taking it one day at a time. God got us through it. We went through the winter and even did homeschooling with gloves on because the heat in the trailer was not that great. One of the things we did was go for a 1 mile walk everyday. Getting outside was helpful to not feel so cramped inside.We also tried to put away one activity before pulling out another activity to help maintain the small space. Put away this toy, game or school work before starting something else. Meal cleanup was immediately after each meal. Laughter is the best medicine and we tried to find laughter in the chaos. Blessings as you walk this adventure. You'll make Great memories!❤️

Living in a trailer isn’t on our radar. But it’s so fun to watch other people live life in “different” ways. I’m sure I’ll enjoy all the glimpses into trailer living and your house Reno.

Looking good! One suggestion, lower one of the awning poles a few inches so any rain will run off of it instead of pooling in the center and bending the center support pole. I run an RV rental company, awning parts are impossible to get right now so you don't want to damage it;

One of my favorite things you have done in the past is your Sunday lives where you fill out your week. I have your printable on my fridge, and it really helped me to be accountable when I could tune in (or watch later in the day) and fill it out “with” someone. :) we camp a lot in a travel trailer, so it is fun to see what it looks like to live in one for the summer!!

Camping in the backyard during renos is the smartest thing ever!

Any kind of DITL, organizing, routines or cooking while you guys are living in the camper would be so interesting!. I live in a small space and it's just 2 of us- if my clutter gets out of control everything starts to spiral down-routines, home blessing, etc... I can't wait to see how the house reno comes along. You guys have such good taste, so I'm sure it's going to be amazing!

Lol Aussie here, I find it hilarious that people in America’s/Canadians don’t often hang clothes on the lines. Here it’s basically ingrained in us from birth and having a dryer is a luxury :) we just hang clothing inside on hampers when it’s damp out. Different cultures :) So good to see you’re settling into your summer caravan, and it’s great to hear you and Jill doing your podcasts again :) can’t wait to see the new house!!

I still line dry in the summer. My grandma never had a dryer. She hung things up in the house when it was damp outside. It is interesting to hear Aussies mostly line dry. :)

Hey!!!! You are rocking it!!! So flexible and capable!!! Amazing!!! I want to see it all! Cooking, organizing, entertaining the littles and progress on the house. See you soon! Stay positive and enjoy this journey… great memories are made in the craziest circumstances ❤️🙏🏻💪🏻💖

You asked what we want to see this summer. I definitely want to follow the renovation

How about some outdoor adventures! I would also love to watch the progress on your remodel weekly. Cooking, tidying, hiking, shopping, playing and reading to the children. All would be great to watch. Have fun and try not to stress. This season will pass before you know it! I thoroughly enjoy your videos! Much love to you and your beautiful family.

I'm sure folks who live in trailers and tiny houses and small apartments will really appreciate this series! All of us will pick up good tips on keeping up with the "little" things that quickly overwhelm us. 😊

Well the thing we love to see is you of course! I think the adaptations you make would be so helpful. When I get overwhelmed I forget how helpful 5 or 10 minutes of work can be. I also lose creativity in finding a solution for whatever is going on. Thank you for your cheerfulness and optimism 💚

I was so pleased to see this update from you - KZread hasn't shown me anything from you in quite some time, I assumed you'd been too busy with the reno. to make videos, but this is a lovely update from you. It's good to see you getting shipshape in the trailer because your routines will probably make all the difference over the summer while the house is being revamped. Thanks, Steph. We're all a Work in Progress, aren't we?! 😀

Campers get messy soooo quickly! Ours does, at least, with just me and my husband! lol One tip with the laundry, fold the laundry as you take it off the clothesline and lay it in the basket. It saves so much time. The clothes are ready to be put away as soon as you bring them inside. I learned that as a teenager who wanted to finish chores quickly 😉 Please share all about this season of life. We'll enjoy that and I think you'll enjoy looking back when you're in your home again.

Three suggestions: Get an old bike that laughs at rain, with a basket for hauling stuff back and forth between house and trailer. That's a long slog. Buy a cheap stack of washcloths and use them instead of towels. They take up almost no space, a week's worth in one washer load and they line dry fast. Be careful, especially as Fall arrives about taking/leaving food outside. Bears. Raccoons. Skunks.

Tossing some white vinegar in the rinse cup if you have one can also help with softness, but honestly, I got to the point I prefer the crunchy feeling because it feels cleaner than when I was using detergent and softener and there was excess chemicals clinging to the fibers of my clothes.

My mother never had a dryer and she hung clothes out year round even in freezing weather. We liked to pretend to walz with my father's shirts when they came in, until they went limp and then she hung the limp laundry around the house as the furnace would finish drying the clothing. The smell of the clothing is beyond anything any fabric softener can deliver!

Drying clothes on the clothesline is a lot of fun. If it is not very windy and the heat is what is drying them, yes, they feel more crunchy. They always smell great though! Tip: Hang tops by their bottoms and bottoms by their tops. Ideas for videos: Flylady in a Trailer? how meal planning has changed? Yes, updates on the renovations. Future plans? And who cuts all that lawn? Wow. Love your videos. you have a plate full! Enjoy life.

Thanks. Set up a good canopy an make it into an outdoor kitchen. You can put couple tables up an put your electrical appliances on it. A griddle an air fryer will become your best friend.

In the UK, drying clothes outside is completely standard. The first day after winter you can actually air dry outside is a thing to be celebrated 😁 We call those washing lines, that particular one is a whirlygig! 🥰

Yes I would love to see how you cook in the trailer, just regular day in the life/vlog type videos, like what are you getting up to for summer fun and activities, and updates on the Renno!

I'd like to see the plans on what you're doing in the house. Floor plans, materials selected for the rooms. Your thoughts on why you're choosing specific materials. How you want the rooms to function. Are they being done in a specific order, like kitchen & bath 1st so you can move back in. Of course the rooms as they are finished.

A couple quick tips. If you hang the clothes upside down you won't have clothes pin marks on the shoulders, also you can share pins from the clothes next to it. You can pin the edges together and they stay.

Weekly house Reno updates and what we ate this week video would be great. Looks like you’re all having lots of fun - enjoy 🚐

In german, these clotheslines are called laundryspider 😊 I have one which pulls in the strings when closed , so they stay dry 😉👍 It’s really common here to airdry clothes, so much cheaper and ecofriendly!

What an adventure! We traveled in a camper for a year when we were raising our two grandchildren. We went everywhere and home schooled....1st and 2nd grade. Number 1 thing we learned? We did not need all the stuff! Especially clothing! From then on we simplified our lives!

We always put a rug/mat in under the steps of our camper. Helps eliminate dirt by taking the shoes off before stepping on the mat. Also be careful when using water because your gray tank will fill up fast. We also have a portable tank to empty the “black” tank so we didn’t have to move the camper every time is needed to be drained. The gray water tank just have a long discharge hose & empty it along ways away from the camper so you don’t get the smell when it gets hot out. When showering just wet yourself turn off water soap up the turn water on to rinse off. Grey tank won’t get as full too fast by doing this. Unless your still able to shower & stuff in the house some of these tips won’t matter. We lived on our camper for 6 months while rebuilding our house after the historic 2011 flood in North Dakota. I can’t wait to see how your house remodel turns out!

So exciting, house looks cool already! Best campsite ever. I’m Canadian, from Manitoba but l live in New Zealand, hanging clothes on the line outside is what most people do. It’s a bit more work but your right it’s way better for the planet. In winter we use our dryer more because of so much rain and the sun isn’t real strong but we also have a fire so we put laundry on a rack by it to dry also. My step mom used to dry clothes outside in the winter in Canada by letting it freeze, if I remember right! I would love to see updates of your house project and whatever else you feel inspired to do 🦋🌈☀️🌺

You are so fortunate to have that space to escape the renovation! Amazing!! Your home will be a dream!!!!

We used to shake the clothes once before hanging. It helps it be a little softer especially towels

Camping the whole summer 😍 you'll have to become a child again, not to get stressed. We'll love to get some glimpses, when there's a chance. Enjoy the makeover. Happy summer to you and your family 🌼💜

I love watching your day in the life videos and hearing about your Reno updates. You might want to set up a small tent in that beautiful yard for your kids “club or fairy house”. Happy camping!

I totally believe that the camper can feel messy fast! I’m sure you will get your routine sorted out and it will be a really exciting summer. I’d love to see a day in your life and I always love cooking videos. Whatever you have the time and capacity to share, I’m here for it!

I love all your videos, and your Slob Sisters podcast! As others have said, I'd love to see reno videos. But also, the journey of you establishing new routines... things you're trying and then whether or not they work for you after awhile.

I love it all! Share as much as you can stand, hahahaha. Also, if you throw the clothes in the dryer for just five minutes you’ll be surprised as how much softer they will be after line drying them. It will also draw out any pollen that may collect while they are soaking up the sun. ❤️

I am thinking that creating a family routine of keeping tidy in the RV will set everyone into a habit that will make your renovated home shine! Let the kids play outside without much fuss about clutter. Make the RV home be picked up. Meanwhile, make memories!! Love your channel

Wow I haven't seen the baby in so long. He's a big boy already. I would like to see more of camper life. Ditl

I want a night time bear cam outside the camper please! I want allll the scary and funny stories of animals that walk past 😂

We lived in a camper for 3 months when I was younger when we moved. Cleaning was so easy. 15 minutes in the morning and we had the rest of the day to play.

Gosh, what a great summer adventure for your family - The Canadian Family Robinson! I'm so glad you're enjoying the process already. You'll have great memories - and stories - of this time, not to mention a beautifully renovated home at the end of it. You documenting the summer with these videos will be a part of the fun - and family history. I LOVED you shining your trailer sink and still prioritizing making your trailer bed. Flylady HOF! All the best to you and your family (and the reno!), Steph.

Has everyone already given you laundry hanging advice? If so, ignore me! I have a very similar washing line, just like I grew up with in NZ. Hanging clothes by the bottom hem is my preference - the clothespins can leave marks in the shoulders that are really obvious and the underarms don’t get much air or sun. I also learned to hang things with a clothes peg shared between them - faster to take down if rain comes in and you need fewer pegs and less space, but that’s just a habit. I heard that if things dry really fast they’ll be stiff, if there’s wind they flap around and it keeps them softer. Shaking things out with a good hard -snap- as you remove them and fold them helps and is very satisfying. Towels are less crunchy if you give them 10 minutes or so in the dryer before you hang them. Line drying is so good though, and you can pre-sort clothes as you hang or remove them. I try to hang things based on how I’ll store them, all hubby’s tees together, socks paired together, etc.

Hei! I would love to see more decluttering and organizing videos. What does it look like inside the drawers and cabinets in your camper?

Wow, you guys make big changes really fast! I couldn't imagine having the whole home remodeled and living in a RV with three little ones! You guys certainly go big! Hopefully you will have that beautiful turqouise look kitchen again. I loved that! Slow your roll down and enjoy some quiet summer time with your kids! P.S. Beware of those bears!

I loved this video, it reminds me of our custom harvesting days… we lived in a travel trailer for 4 months, I would cook for our crew out of the trailer as we traveled all across the country cutting wheat for our customers! 💚

For me, sitting comfortably indoors, that all looks like heaps of fun. I'm sure there will frustrating times - - like when it rains - - but here's another positive: The bears will be as far away as possible while this is going on and probably will be wary of your property for a long, long time. (I am not an expert on bears, but that seems likely to me.)

I would love to see day in the life videos, cooking, cleaning and of course renovations updates!

I love the feel of non drier clothes. So much that I hang my clothes on a pole thing in my apartment. What I call a hard towel is so much better to dry my self with because a soft towel just moves the water around. Plus it makes it easier because I have one less step. I used to have to gather,sort,wash,dry, put away, now it's wash hang up and put away. No more putting dirty on clean because I didn't get the last step done.

Hi Steph: Your ole friend vinegar will help to keep line dry items from getting ‘crunchy’. Just add 1/4 cup in the receptical for bleach and it works as a fabric softener and keeps the washer smelling fresh.

It all looks so cozy and inviting, inside and out. You've done a good job setting up your summer "homestead", Steph!!! I'd just enjoy seeing life day to day normal stuff, during your odd summer. :)

Love your content. I'd like to see, in order of priority, 1. How you plan and cook inside (in a tiny space) and outside. 2. New flylady routines. 3. Organizing. You are a joy to watch.

Would you be able to share the progress of the reno with us as it happens? Enjoyed seeing your day setting up in the trailer. God bless!

Love this!!! What a FUN summer you're going to have on your beautiful property. I hope your children always remember it❤ One suggestion about the laundry... One summer I got rid of all my kids clothes except 7 play outfits (we also live out in the country) and 3 church/town outfits. Laundry was a dream!!!

Looks like the kids have adjusted well and are loving trailer living! Please continue to show renovation progress during these next few months! SO EXCITING! If you don't know Faith and Flour, they were living out of their trailer while renovating their new home. She doesn't have young children, but had to manage trailer living for 3 adults. Robin, may be a good resource to help you get through this reno. Oh and Kallie, of But First, Coffee - they did a kitchen/living space/bathroom reno with two young children, so she may have helpful tips for cooking. Thankfully, it's summer so you have the blessing of outdoor fun and grilling! Be sure to take appropriate bear precautions and bear proof your camp! You will be making lifetime memories this summer, that is for sure!

Whatever u can post will b great! Much luv 2 u and your family on this new and memorable adventure.❤

Not a criticism just a pearl of wisdom from years of experience ---- hang your tops upside down, never by the shoulders. :)

Wow! Go you! It could be fun camping out all summer! The kids will love it! I always line dry in the drier months but I think most Australians do. It's alot more hygienic and one great plus to it is that the sun works like a bleach on stains! Have a white shirt with food stains? Soak as usual or spray, whatever you use and then hang it out in full sun. The stain disappears like magic! Decent size caravan you got there! Have fun, i know its got to be hard but make the most of the season and I wish you all the best with the reno!

This was fun! Anxious to see the changes in your day to day living routine. Also the different meals to accommodate the tiny oven. We camp and the oven does change our menu a bit. Can't wait to see.

That clothesline is so cool! I need to get one like that, it looks like it would fit better in our yard than a normal, straight clothesline. You should consider getting a collapsible wagon for hauling all that laundry and garbage to the house! Sure would make it easier, and the kids could even help pull it.

Umbrella style clotheslines are the best! They hold a LOT (2-4 loads) spin in the wind and the one I have can easily be removed for mowing the yard or for winter like Rebecka said. I think the brand name is Babrantia ? It’s a UK brand but I got it in the US.

I'd love weekly updates on the reno, as well as life in the trailer, organization, new routines, etc. I almost don't care what you post as long as we get to see you!

In our camper to save on propane my dad installed a converter switch so our water heater used electric or propane. We live in Texas so our summer temps are typically 100+ degrees out. We would cook most meals outside to avoid heating up the camper. Wishing you the best in the Reno! How exciting it must be!

The drying outside does make it crunchy but put a still damp towel in the dryer with the cloth for about 10 minutes in the dryer and it will soft it and remove some of the dust from outside. Now that I have to dry my clothes inside on hangers it doesn't get crunchy 🙃. Still air dry with inside air though 😅 🙃 😐.

Day in the life and new routines would be fun. Also fun things you do in the summer in your area. Great job getting things set up!

Hi Steph, I’m a Canadian living in Denmark. I’m an empty nester. There are a lot of people living in trailers this summer for vacation and otherwise. Me included. We are heading to Scotland and Wales. I live with a lot less in my trailer than my home. Perhaps a video talking about the things and conveniences you miss and those you are surprised you don’t. BTW I try to dry all my laundry on the line we haven’t in our garden. I only miss when the weather doesn’t co-operate. Nothing like fresh bedding off the line. The sun is an awesome bleach substitute!

Good choice for hanging laundry outside. I do it my hole life like that. Even in snow winters. There are only a view rules. Kräftig ausschütteln before hanging up. And at really sunny days in summer clothes or towels bekome hard. So hang it up in the early morning or late afternoon. This helps colours to be fresh and not to bleach.

It would be cool to see your summer routines to see examples because everyone has to change up from time to time so yeah think that would be lots of fun! 😊 also would love to see some of the home renovation updates as well 😯

I'd love to see more camper life videos and some renovation updates too! I showed my kids a bit and they are so jealous! 😄 Which is good, because we might be doing something similar next summer. We have a small pop up camper, so it'd be a little different. Enjoy your summer!

Living in Australia in a house with yard, the clothesline outside is used for every load unless the weather doesn't permit it. I have a few drying racks in my laundry to hang shirts on hangers and some folding ones for wet weather. I only use my dryer a few times a year.

That looks super cozy - Hyggeligt, as we would say in Denmark! :) Would love to see updates of the renovation. And how you keep the trailer tidy! I live in a small space myself, and the laundry and dishes can build up *very* quickly. Would be interesting to hear if you discover some good tips for that. Glad to see you guys are doing good. :)

So good to see you again and excited for you in all that’s going on at your place. As a mother myself, I know life can get so crazy sometimes. You’re very inspirational though and I was so happy to see your video this morning! Even though the house is down to bare bones, it looks great. I’m sure it will be a masterpiece and as for the current home(trailer) having enough space for prolonged periods of time is essential. You are doing GREAT, keep it up momma!❤️

Beautiful park-like yard - the kids will love this for the summer. Tip: hang shirts from the bottom hem to avoid weird pointy things on the shoulders from the clothes pins.

I've always hung up clothes when the weather is good. My kids called it the stiff clothes season

Beautiful piece of property…your kids will have a great summer with some awesome memories

lol! I know so much how you feel! We’ve been living in our RV for over a year in a cold weathered area! I have 5 kids, a dog, and just barely got Guinea pigs (what was I thinking)! 7 people and 4 animals in our RV is pretty squished and then we have our wonderful 4 nieces and nephews come stay with us every other week while their dad helps us build our home!!! Let me tell you it is rough but manageable!!! Good luck!!!

Your land is so beautiful. Trailer looks great now. I'm glad you're hanging your laundry, I'm in the UK and always hang it inside or out, depending on the weather. It smells so lovely when it has dried outside!

🌤👖👕🩳 Growing up we dried our clothes outside during the summer and clear days. In the warmest weather we tried to do clothes earlier or later in the day before the sun was too harsh. Also I remember using vinegar in the last rinse to keep fibers soft. I use vinegar on my linens still today and towels do seem softer. We also lived in the dryer western part of Kansas and Nebraska and Colorado. Now in Utah it’s very dry and take no time at all for rugs to dry, and clothes dry quickly indoors too. May need to get a clothes line again. 😁

Sweet little helpers!! Looks fun. Like a stay-cation.

What an amazing transformation! Thanks for sharing those real-life moments, as always! As a kid growing up on a farm, we hung clothes to dry on the clothesline whenever the weather permitted. On windy days, they aren’t so crunchy! :) However, I hope you learn to love the benefits of it- they smell SO good, like clean nothingness! And I always think towels are more absorbent after drying on the line than in the dryer. I can’t wait to hear more about your life in the trailer, especially how your routines change with this living space!

I live in the UK & it’s very common on hang our washing (laundry) on the line (in the summer at least). It’s my favourite chore. I like to hang it out as early as possible so it’s a peaceful moment outside by myself x

Omg in 1980s (south africa) my Mom always taught me to hang the underwear on the inside racks too. In australia people hang stuff out too. All the youtubers i watch from US and yourself always use dryers. Interested to know why outside drying is not done even in summer? The kids would be loving camper life. Whenever we go away I really like washing up the exact number of plates etx we need, only having one small box of toys to share. Cleaning is so quick and easy!

I can’t wait to see how you transition your usual routines to the trailer! My family travels in a class A motor home for weeks/months at a time and it’s always kind of tricky to make the switch to my morning and evening routines and my cleaning routines! Keep us posted on how this all goes!

I would love to see how you organize in the trailer (cupboards, closet, etc)😊

This may show how much abundance we have normally and how much we don’t actually need. I have always hung my clothes out to dry come summer. The clothes smell so much better and much better for our environment. A lovely way to get outside and enjoy the nice weather.

Reno updates and day in the life videos sounds great!!!!

Love the trailer cleaning videos. Fly Lady on the fly!

If you pull the clothes from the line while they are still just a tad damp and tumble them to finish drying the fluff right up and you've cut way down on dryer time! If you let them dry on the line completely you can just throw a damp towel in the dryer. I mostly do this to kill of pollen that may have gotten on our clothes (helps with allergies) but it's also nice to not have crunchy towels. Also, the dryer does a much better job at getting rid of the cat hair on our clothes lol

Always love your channel. Thanks for being real. I would love to see you cooking outdoors. I would also love to see some little tours of your outdoor property. It is gorgeous!

Hi Steph - have been following you for awhile and want to thank you for all your ideas. I have been doing the AM routine for kitchen/bathroom everyday. Yesterday a neighbor stopped by and said that her toilet wasn't working and if she and her 2 boys could use mine. I didn't hesitate to say of course and didn't have to say " let me check first".

Hi from Australia ♡ Would love to see some bush & nature walks around your beautiful property if possible 🌲 very different I know. Your back yard is breathtaking, enjoy leaving outdoors, your four months will fly 🦋

I only use a clothes line to dry my clothes. The clothes would have been a bit crunchy because it was warm and they dried too quickly. When they dry more slowly (a few hours) they are soft and smell great. I Australia we use a hills hoist, which is a bigger version of your clothes line. They are a permanent fixture though.

Hey Steph I hang dry most my clothes to keep from shrinking and to take that crispy away I pop them in the dryer with dryer sheets for 5 mins and so great!!!

Plus the lint that stays on the clothes can come off in the dryer:)

Use fabric softener, otherwise the clothes will get stiffer when line drying

@@jessicat1013 I use laundry sheets similar to the Earth Sheets that Steph uses. Clean!

If the stiffness in the clothes is too much, you can run them in the dryer for just a few minutes and it will work itself out. Also, some items you can flap them a few times and the stiffness will release.
