If you came to read great reviews and see cool giveaways, you are at the right place. We are currently moving from Typepad (our old blog) to WordPress (our new blog)
If you are seeing this rather boring new page, just check back and the Baby Joys you know and love will be here soon!
I’m hoping to have everything set up within the next 24 hours! And if you’re wondering, no this wasn’t planned, this was a last minute decision, because of a major change Typepad made that completely ruined the way I do reviews.

This is a test to see if I can start doing reviews WITH pictures yet. As a test, let me share with you a shot of my beautiful handsome little guy. Despite the fact that he looks gigantic, let me assure you that he really is only 14 months old. Yeah. 
And the picture featured is NOT fixed. The picture is is NO way placed where I wanted, and refuses to do text wrap. Well I shall continue reviews sans text wrap, just because I can’t stand being so backed up!

Recently Typepad (my blog host) got a new "upgrade." Why is that computer and techy upgrades usually cause nothing but problems?
Since the upgrade I'm having a really hard time uploading pictures and adding pictures to my posts. I'm trying to figure it out.
Because of this the reviews have been lacking, because I refuse to do a review with no pictures. So The Month of Moms will be a little over a month to get everyone featured.
So stay tuned while I figure it out, and enter out giveaways if you haven't already! There are two going, so browse around, read reviews, and find them!

But I’m not a one trick pony. Writing these reviews and running this site aren’t the only thing I do. I also 
craft, and even teach craft classes. One thing I make and teach is jewelry. I’ve been making jewelry probably 20 years, and can spot flaws, cheap materials and bad workmanship a mile away. I can spot a beginner, even though they don’t think they can be spotted. This knowledge led up to this review. When I saw Bella ZandraI KNEW I had found the best of it’s kind on the web. Even with pictures I could tell the quality was there, and was not dissapointed when it arrived.
Bella Zandra sells mostly bracelets, but they are some of the most beautiful bracelets I’ve seen. Made with sterling silver and Swarovski crystals these glitter but are not gold, well some of them are. The beautiful Mother’s Bracelets, which I personally chose, features one or more names spelled out with sterling letter
beads.
I love that the jewelry is custom. You pick the birthstone or crystal you want, you get it made to the length you need, and get your choice of closure with or without your choice of charm! I don’t think it’s a secret here that I LOVE customized items! I’ve seen some similar websites where certain bracelets come with certain birthstones and you have limited choices, not true on the Bella Zandra site. More then a dozen name bracelet choices, six types of clasps, almost two dozen charm options, this site has more then enough to choose from.
If glamorous isn’t your style, she has some more modern looking designs as well. Such as the “Nordic,” “Simple Elegance,” and even “Hip.” She has a style for everyone. Take it from a jewelry maker, this stuff is NICE. It makes a great gift (for yourself or a loved one.) You can get multiple names, but she has nameless options as well. Prices vary based on style and number of strands, but you’re looking at $55 or more for a bracelet. If you want beautiful jewelry that doesn’t cost a fortune, Bella Zandra is the place to go.

Boy it is GOOD to review again. If you’re not aware I haven’t done a review in awhile, a week, maybe more? Because of technical difficulties. I got that all figured out, after taking a whole day to move to a new blog all together. I was contemplating taking a break after I caught up with reviews, but that is certainly NOT what I intended. So anyway, ON with the review!!
I’ve reviewed lots of clothes, and I love pretty much all of them. Today I’m going to talk about one of my most recent clothing discoveries. Buddhi Wear. Buddhi Wear is another great company that uses organic cotton to make clothing that makes a statement. If you do yoga, pilates, meditate, or anything along those lines you will love their yoga inspired graphics, and meditation terms.
Phrases such as “Yoga Diva,” “Powered by OM,” and “Go Reiki” are all available. The shirts themselves are
great! Mine is so comfy, and only gets better with each washing.
To be honest, the shirts are great, there is a variety of sayings, styles, and colors. I don’t feel like rambling on and on “Oh they have this shirt and that shirt.” They are great, just go buy one! Short sleeves and tank tops are $28. And they have kids, babies, and mens shirts as well!
