Oh yeah, and I became a fan of Mommy Necklaces a couple days ago on Facebook. WOOHOO!

I like the Silver Ice collection. The colors are neutral enough to wear with anything and I like black. :)

My very first giveaway!!!

So much to do, so little time......probably the daily thoughts of every parent.

How do we attempt to solve it? Some do. Some don't.

I have struggled with the reality of this so much more lately since bringing home Athena home from the hospital and now being out-numbered 3 kids to 1 Momma.

Some days it feels like a losing battle. Other days I am triumphant and giddy upon realizing a small victory.

Right now all three kiddos are asleep. In my bed. I am in my recliner next to my bed. Surfing online with only 6 hours of sleep. I can't relax enough or get comfortable enough to fall asleep. However....they are asleep. So, I will continue to operate on less than a full nights sleep because it means they are comfortable and resting and the day ahead will be a little smoother.

What is your favorite way to accomplish tasks as a parent? Do you multitask or attack challenges one at a time? How do YOU deal with the daily dilemma of being a parent while still taking care of yourself?

I *almost* forgot... my very 1st giveaway (!). It will be for a beautiful Mommy Necklace in your choice of design. Post a comment with an answer to one of my questions from above to be entered.

Mommy Necklaces CONTEST

I have written before about Mommy Necklaces. They just introduced some gorgeous new designs and posted news of a contest this morning!!! Check it out!

Mommy Necklaces???

Yup - that's what they are. Necklaces for a Mom to wear.

Why? Well, if you have children you know the familiar tug from a child. It starts softly, then stronger, then enough to get a reaction out of you. Good or bad, this urge to explore can be turned into a useful learning tool. Learning = jewelry, you say? Why yes, grasshopper...

How? Well according to my friends (solely on my end!) at Mommy Necklaces , "twiddling" is normal and helps your child learn through their environment, including tactile exploration & sensory information.

Safety - Yes even the smallest of my three (4 1/2 months) has what seems like a limitless amount of physical strength when it comes to getting something she wants. No problems with theses necklaces. The founder (Raelynn) shares her story on her website about the safety features.

Designs - The necklaces are hailed as trendy & stylish on their website & I wholeheartedly agree. I very rarely wear "costume jewelry" but these necklaces I will gladly wear. They are colorful, without being overbearing. I *love* the color combinations and the stones are gorgeous.

Latest news: Mommy Necklaces has branched out in the abyss known as Facebook and added a Fan Page. Facebook fans have access to exclusive promotions and designs. To promote this addition, they are currently running a special, which ends at midnight on Thursday, June 25th Check it out here.

Happy shopping!!
