WAHM Day 10 Buddha Bunz

Welcome to the final day of our 10 day long spotlight on all our great WAHM’s. Here at Top to Bottom Baby Boutique we pride ourselves on working with WAHM’s and helping them to spread the love for their products. What better way to spread the love than to give something away! We’re also going to have a 5% discount on each of our WAHM products through October 10th. (no code necessary)
Meet our Tenth WAHM run business:

The Mom behind it all: Melinda Allen
Tell us about yourself:  Hi, I'm Melinda, Mama behind Buddha Bunz. I am Mommy to Kya, Ryan and Jake,future wife to Chris and firefighter in Lincoln County Tennessee. Buddha Bunz was started after I left my corporate job behind when I was 36 weeks pregnant with Jake. I loved being a SAHM, I loved when all I had to do was go on playdates, take Jake to the park or hang out with our  friends, but I felt another calling. We were using cloth diapers and loving all of the new things that the world of cloth diapering was opening up to us. All of the wonderful respected WAHM's with their cute businesses and products that made me feel so much better about the products that were in our home. All of the handmade wonderful stuff that was made with love by a WAHM. I had a local friend that owned a cloth diaper business where I first bought my diapers in New Braunfels TX and when I would come over I would see a few packages sitting at the door of her house and think to myself.. WOW.. I would love to have a business like that.. sending packages out every few days, how awesome!
I started making Jake's wipe solution at home, I never bought any, never tried any other's before. I let a friend use it and she suggested I start selling it, another friend had just asked if I would join a congo with her on Hyena Cart and I did.. and Buddha Bunz began! I really didn't know where Buddha Bunz would go.. I can't sew so I can't make diapers.. I didn't have the start up cash to buy a bunch of diapers.. I could paint.. I could make candles.. but paintings and candles are just too expensive to ship.. I didn't know where we were going, but I joined the congo.. I thought what the hey.. if I sell a few wipe solutions I can buy a diaper or two. Then I added wool wash. Then lanolin spray. Then boo boo spray.. and a year later wool dryer balls.. and I have never looked back. Dryer balls are perfect, they are eco-friendly, something everyone can use and I can needle felt and do my art! I had hoped that I would find my 'thing' one day and I can't believe I had finally found it!
That was 3 years ago this past July. Never in my dreams would I imagine that my little goal of sending out a few packages a week would turn into sending out 100's of orders.. having over 40 retailers, dryer balls being sold and distributed in 5 countries and a band of Mama's behind me or that my products would be sold in the stores that I looked up to and shopped from just a few years ago. I NEVER thought that this would be me.. that I would be a 'brand'.. that I would be able to send out a product that is so eco-friendly that actually HELPS people and that I would be so amazingly blessed. I am so honored to have so many wonderful customers and friends. When you become a WAHM you naturally think of money that you want (or need) to make, but you don't think about all of the friends and amazing people you will get to meet and in the cloth diaper world I have met some of the most wonderful and inspiring people ever!
