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.

Watching my children (26 & 22) live for God and helping others in ways that I never dreamed of. Being a Godly models for other youth. And just loving the life they lead.

Most rewarding is when I see one of my kids accomplish something they had no idea they could do.

When my little boy started to hug and kiss me for the first time.

I’m most rewarded whenever my kids snuggle with me; it rarely happens, so I love it when they do (usually when they’re very tired)!

It’s rewarding when you get those unexpected “thankyous, hugs and kisses” for the little things you do.

Everything about being a mother is rewarding, to me. I think when my son told me, “I am lucky to have such a great Mom!” that was one of the best moments of my life. :0)

Everything is rewarding when you’re a mom. To name a few: a laugh, a smile, watching them thrive and grow.
nan
love the simpleness of this!
Megan
My son just turned three months old, but my most rewarding moment so far was seeing his first real smile. To know that I was making him happy and that he felt good was the best feeling in the whole world!!! I love my little guy so much!!! :)

I love when someone else tells me how wonderful my kids are. I know how great they are, it’s nice to see that other people see the things that make my kids so special.
Brandy Miller
My husband allowing me to stay at home with our kids
Vanessa
Just the other day I spilled something on the floor and my son said, “Don’t worry mommy, we’ll get some more.” The most rewarding part of being a mom is witnessing their innocent, tender hearts.
Tricia
I am lucky to be the step mom of a 10year old boy & 12 year old girl. My (two) most rewarding moments have been the first time they each told me, on their own and out of the blue, that they love me. They’ve been with me since they were 4 and 6 and have brought so much enjoyment to my life!
Jennifer Laxson
I love the little gifts they bring home from school…Like Mothers Day gifts…I don’t let them see me cry but I do

I’ve wanted to be a mom as long as I can remember. One of my most rewarding times is finding out that my boys are doing or have done the right thing even when I’m not there to watch them. I love knowing that all of my teaching and nagging (LOL) is paying off and they are becoming men of integrity and character. LOVE THAT!!!
Tricia
