Laundry time

I had heard of wool dryer balls years ago, but never tried them until my mom gave me some two weeks ago. Even
then I wasn't sure how I'd like them, I pictured the sound of tennis balls banging around in the dryer making an awful lot of noise.
(Plus I don't enjoy staticky clothes, I don't like to fold them or wear them.) Being a gift, I thought I would give them a try and I was excited too. With 7 of us it's not hard to find laundry to do. So the first day I did 5 loads of laundry and was impressed!
The moment I turned on the dryer I was pleasantly surprised with how quiet they were and I had 5 balls in there....and, No static. But I had yet to do towels...the next day a big load of towels went through and when they came out of the dryer I heard a little static crackling, but when I folded them they were good. 
Over the last two weeks the only static I have noticed is right when I pull them out of the dryer with nylon fabric (does anything help with that?!) and my baby's fleece jammies, but when i went to fold them they were just like when I use dryer sheets. So as of now I'm sold! There's only 3 in the picture but my set came with 6 and I use all 6 for each load. I think the more you have the better they work.

it works!

Well it's been 3 days and I don't stink ...(there are people around me who would let me know) I'm very surprised how well it works! You have to get use to using it the coconut oil that holds it all together, it melts with skin contact, so you don't need to put as much on as you do with store bought deodorant . so if you want to try it (and you should): 1/4 c. baking soda 1/4 c. cornstarch and 10 drops tea tree oil (it's cleansing) you can just use that in a powder or add 2 + Tab. of coconut oil for a stick ( I melted my coconut oil in the microwave) mix it all together smash it in to an old deodorant container... Coconut oil is hard at room temperature so you can let it sit and it will firm up or.. I put mine in the freezer for a few min. to make it hard. if you don't live some were hot you can keep it in your bathroom if you have a problem with it being to soft keep it in the refrigerator... I hear you can use lavender oil as well. I have not tried it yet but...

The market was sleep on Sat. The music was soft and dreamy, the cotton trees were at seed and the air was filled with soft fluffy seeds , it was as if it was snowing on a hot day.
