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!

We’re getting to the point where my daughter is caring about how others feel and what they’re doing (she’ll turn 3 in Oct). It’s so fun to experience that little person developing.

There are so many rewarding moments, when my 10year old notices that I’m stressed and hugs me to make me feel better and tells me he loves me. When my soon-to-be 5 year old runs to me with the biggest smile on his face to kiss me and tells me he loves me. One that always gets my heart is when my boys are “hanging” out together and tell each other that they love each other.

Recently, we visited my bro-in-law’s family for an entire weekend. I sent a note thanking my brother’s mother-in-law for her efforts. She starting gushing about how well behaved my kids were and how that’s a reflection on their parents. I was so proud!

The first day my son experienced “stranger anxiety” and cried for his mommy! It made me secretly happy! :)

I have a pink journal that I keep all the funny things that my kids say and do. On rough days I can pull that out and relive those moments with a smile. They make me laugh in spite of all the hard work too. That’s a gift they give me that they don’t even work to provide.

Rewarding to me is when my kids show compassion to others.

One of my most momentus moments as a mom was when my oldest daughter (who is 20 now) came to the realization that her actions really did affect me and her family members. Since then, she has been really thoughtful of others and their feelings.
