Tune in all week for hot Back-To-School Giveaways. We’ve got some great prizes for the kids, with a couple of special prizes to pamper mom!!! Look for a new 48-hour giveaway each morning and each afternoon, and be sure to check out all of the current giveaways for other great prizes!
There’s no doubt that being a mom is a hard job – the hardest job there is! And while the rewards are absolutely worth it, I’ve teamed up with Jamie from Circle of Sentiments to offer you something a little more tangible this week!
Isn’t this necklace that she created for me gorgeous? I opted to go with the first initials for all of my kids since some of the longer names wouldn’t fit on the small size discs that I selected. I was a little skeptical of how the finished product would turn out with so many discs, but I absolutely LOVE it.
I’m so impressed with the quality and craftmanship, and when I wore my necklace to Blogher, and I received dozens of compliments on it while I was there. It’s quickly become one of my favorite accessories, and I always wear it when I travel as a reminder of my kiddos.
One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a custom necklace with up to two discs from Jamie’s Signature Collection, valued at $65!
To enter, simply leave a comment and tell me about your most rewarding moment as a mother.

I have an almost 2 year old little girl who is so full of life…I love it that even after a long trying day-of temper tantrums and grumpy tears….she throws her arms around my neck and says, “I Lubs You Mommy!”

When my eldest son asks for more veggies and dip with supper, I know I’m doing something right!!!

The most rewarding moments I’ve experienced as a mom are the times that I can see the joy on their faces when we’re spending time together! They are happy children and I know that is partly because of our relationship!

When one of my girls out of the blue will say I love you or give me a hug. That’s the best ever!

Something that’s really been rewarding so far is seeing how much my 2 year old wants to do everything like mommy does!

while i was preganat with my second child i had a stroke. In a few months I was faced being a single mom with a new born and a toddler. After 20 years raising my kids on my own, My two kids are now in college. With all my physical, financial and other hardships we faced, and the many mistakes i made out of ignorance. My childrens love for me and my love for them is unconditional. To me thats the biggest reward i could ever ask for.
my most rewarding reward is the 3of us made it together thru it all.

I love that my 2 1/2 yo now carries on conversations with me (or her dolls) and tries to use “big” words. It’s absolutely adorable and a constant reminder that I always have someone listening and watching everything I do!

For me, it is rewarding to see my kids growing up to be kind and caring.

I was so happy recently when my daughter told me her friends think I am cool and like to come to our house. It was a reward that can not be bought for your teen daughter to tell you. I used to worry when i stayed home while they were little that I couldn’t provide them with things- but now realize what an investment my time was and now i see payback!

We have found that life is precious and can change in an instant. Every day I have with my children is rewarding.

When my five year old unexpectedly says to me once in a while, “Mom, guess what, I really love ya!” It always makes me laugh because it’s so random, but makes my whole day!
Angella
When my son says ” I love you thiiiiiiisssssss much” and holds his hands out way wide!

Rewarding moment: on the playground watching my daughter fight with another little girl about getting on the slide: “Remember–the bible says that if you want to be first, you must be last.” Ahhhh parenthood. She er….almost gets it;)
