With Stevie’s arms growing longer by the minute, I sometimes get worried that once I’m done curling or straightening my hair, he’s going to get a hold of the iron while I leave it sitting on the counter to cool.  I had to find something that I could store my hot iron in, and still be able to put it away in the cupboard.

I saw this wine bottle holder at Target and after a little Googling, I found that neoprene is not flammable.  So it’s the perfect way to store hot irons!  As soon as I’m done straightening, I just stick it in there and stow it away, out of the grubby little toddler’s reach.  It’s easy to pack for traveling too.  Listen, I don’t come up with good ideas often, but when I do I will gladly share.  For the moms out there, I thought this could be pretty helpful. Safety for the win!
