Love the WAHMie sites

I have been a little distracted from blogging by the Great Cloth Diaper Hunt. I love a good scavenger hunt, and this one has been quite the challenge! One of my favorite things about it (aside from the thrill of the hunt and the chance to win a prize) is the opportunity to discover new websites and online stores from other moms. I love the unique offerings, handmade items, and the chance to support other moms making a grassroots effort to make a difference.

Some of my favorite things I've discovered so far:

Wool Dryer Balls from Buddha Bunz. We've all seen those plastic dryer balls that promise to give you soft laundry without using expensive and often toxic fabric softener. I've looked at them several times myself, but have always been put off by their plastic/PVC ingredients. After all, it can't be good to heat PVC over and over while rubbing it against your baby's clothes and breathing in the air, right? So I was very excited to see this all natural option available. Not only does it eliminate the need for fabric softener, but Buddha Bunz claims it can also reduce your drying time by up to 50%! Good for the environment, good for the wallet!

Creative Greeting Cards from MA! motherhood with attitude. Send a card that says how it REALLY is for moms! Not your average Hallmark variety and guaranteed to get a laugh.

All Natural Hair Detangler from Blue House Soaps. Our Munchkin has been blessed with a head full of hair. But those long curly tresses turn into a disaster after a long night in bed. I've been wary of the detanglers on the shelf at the drugstore and their long list of chemical ingredients, so I've resorted to slathering baby lotion on the back of Munchkin's head. Not the best look for her. I was so excited to discover this and can't wait to give it a try. One of the great things about Blue House Soaps is that they offer all-natural products that are fragranced only with essentional oils, as well as traditional scents like Chocolate Euphoria and Plumeria.
