WAHM Monday: Buddha Bunz

My second feature this week is Melinda Allen of Buddha Bunz. Melinda is a WAHM of 3 beautiful children with a strong passion for natural living. Buddha Bunz gives her an outlet to share her passions with liked minded families. The featured item from Melinda's site is her Dryer Balls.

Buddha Bunz dryer balls are the all natural alternative to plastic PVC dryer balls. Made with 100% wool they gently bounce in your dryer to keep your laundry soft while reducing the amount of time it takes to dry... saving you time and money and reducing your footprint on Mother Earth.

Benefits:

• shorten dry time on all laundry, including cloth diapers... saves time AND energy ($$!)

• naturally soften laundry and cloth diapers and eliminate the need to use fabric softeners

• handmade from 100% wool in the USA

• all natural renewable resource

• fire retardant... will not catch fire like other synthetic materials may

• anti-microbial

• last for years and years with no maintenance... just toss in your dryer

• Buddha Bunz dryer balls are nice and heavy at approx 3oz each and felted very tight... made to do their job and do it well!

• Buddha Bunz are the #1 wool dryer ball retailer and are continuing to grow each and every day!

• Using 4 dryer balls on a 90 minute cycle will cut a small load of laundry in 1/2 and a large load by 1/4!

• Saving you approx $.26 on a large load and $.51 on a small load of laundry!

Dryer balls are available in all natural off white wool colored (undyed), hand dyed solid colors of your choice, or custom designs - from sea monsters to college teams it can be done!

WAHM Monday: New Chalk Mats at MarieLynn Boutique

This week's featured Work At Home Mom business is MarieLynn Boutique!

MarieLynn Boutique was started in August 2007; when owner, Cales was 8 months pregnant with her daughter. She noticed a lack of personalized baby products and wanted to add that personal touch to her daughter's items.

After making a few things for her daughter and receiving many requests for items from other Moms, MarieLynn Boutique was formed.

Cales has just added Handmade Boutique Chalk Mats to her Play and Bed Time Collection.

Choose from 8 trendy designs, sure to fit any style.

Each Handmade Boutique Chalk Mat measures 18 1/2in x13in and comes with attached grosgrain ribbon to tie your Chalk Mat when not in use.

Not only are these Chalk Mats stylish, but they are practical as well! MarieLynn Boutique's Chalk Mats are great for restaurants, road trips, snow days and those dreary rainy days. Entertaining and creatively stimulating, these Chalk Mats are a hit with children of all ages!

Connor and Allie have had chalk mats for months. They come in so handy when we travel, or need to keep them busy at restaurants.

I love that less messy than markers, or having tons of crayons all over the car and under the restaurant table!

Be sure to check out the On The Go Baby Gear Collection for more items that make your life as a mom easier!
