Woolzies Dryer Balls - A Review


Do you like doing laundry?  No??  That's okay, me neither.  Well that isn't true.  I like sorting, washing, and drying my laundry, I just hate folding it.  I would say I hate putting it away, but since I rarely get to that part, I don't really mind it much.  Yup, my family lives out of laundry baskets.

One thing I hate about doing laundry is static electricity.  Something I hate more is fabric softener.  I am not sure that I have ever used fabric softener as an adult, since its full of chemicals (not unlike laundry soap, which I do use...  Hmmm, I am a little inconsistant...) and ruins your towels absorbancy.  So imagine my delight when I was selected to review Woolzies!

Woolzies are 100% pure New Zealand wool dryer balls. 
 
A picture of the Woolzies.  I am a terrible photographer and probably should have inquired about stock photos before I wrote this.  But since the review had to be done by today and I make up for my lack of other skills with being awesome at procrastinating, I didn't have time!

Pros:
  • Easy to use - just throw them in the dryer with your wet clothes.
  • Cost effective (I think, remember I don't use fabric softener) - they are guaranteed to last for 1,000 loads. 
  • REALLY reduce static electricity - I am not actually that worried about my clothes being soft.  they always seem pretty soft to me.  I do notice static cling though, and its terrible.  Even my husbands work shirts (made of some horrid fabric I hate, but he loves - dri-fit maybe?) which are usually full of socks and such were cling free.  I even noticed when I didn't use them!  You can see the static they absorb, because they look like your hair after you play on a trampoline :)
Cons:
  • They roll around like crazy if you let them fall out of the dryer.  Which amuses the kids and the cat, but doesn't amuse me much.  Not a big deal since they are washable, but a little annoying.  
  • They are a little expensive, $34.95 for a set of six (you use all six at a time).  I think this evens out over the course of time you don't have to buy fabric softener though.

To purchase them you can go to the Woolzies Dryer Balls website.  As I said, they are $34.95, and they have free shipping. 

I highly recommend them, if you can afford them.  If you use fabric softener, I would definitely suggest you replace it with Woolzies.  To learn more about Woolzies, visit them on Twitter or Facebook :)


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks bec...
