The tagline for Momma’s Jewels is “For you to wear… For your baby to love.” But be forewarned – your baby isn’t the only one who will love them!

These exquisite sterling silver pieces match any outfit and look completely stunning! Whether you are dressed up or dressed down, your Momma’s Jewels will be the perfect compliment. You can really tell that they have been designed with classic chic in mind, creating an enduring piece that you will be able to wear for years to come. I know that I want to wear mine every day!

The rings serve as teething rings, but are also filled with beads which allows them to double as a rattle! The 30 inch chain on the necklace puts the rings right in your baby’s field of vision and their reach.  The rattle makes a very subtle – yet distinct – noise, so you don’t need to worry about being kicked out of that nice restaurant, or getting the evil eye from a fellow shopper at Neiman Marcus.

Since the necklace and matching bangle-style bracelets are made completely of sterling silver, you need not be concerned. They are safe for your child to teeth on and play with, and with proper care will be a gorgeous keepsake and maybe even a unique heirloom!

In the spirit of MckMama’s Not Me! Monday (which I knew we all love and enjoy!).  I thought I’d do my own Not Me! Mother’s Day rendition.  We celebrated Mother’s Day early at our house since my husband will be out of town this weekend.  It was…quaint…

I did not get waken up from my one morning of “sleeping in” bestowed upon me by my husband.  He did not then explain that while he wanted me to sleep in…there was something terribly wrong with the pancakes.

I did not then have to correct his mistake and add three or four cups of milk and God knows how many eggs to the EIGHT cups of flour that he used to make pancakes.  I also did not kiss him on the cheek for trying to make them from scratch…just the way I would.

I did not gag down the “omelet” my darling husband made just for me while he enjoyed his thoroughly cooked one that I made for him (I just could NOT watch him do it twice!!)  I did not then give the rest to the dog when he wasn’t looking…who would do that, anyway?!

I did not then spend half of my precious “quite time” while the boys were all outside updating my Twitter account and chatting online with fellow Mommies.  That would be a complete waste of time and I certainly would not waste time.

I did not then promptly fall asleep while reading a book all comfy cozy in bed.  I did, after all, “sleep in” that morning.

I did not give the dog a trim and a bath either.  I mean, who would do actual work during their pretend Mother’s Day quiet time?  Not me!  I did not actually enjoy the dog grooming event of the day without six little hands “helping me”.

I did not eat a cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate milkshake from the local burger joint because I didn’t feel like getting dressed and going out to dinner somewhere proper.  That would be lazy and borderline disgusting and I am neither of those things!

I did not insist that my husband (bless his heart) do the baths, the stories, the teeth brushing and put all of the kids to bed by himself.  That is pure torture and I would never inflict such cruelty on a man I love so dearly!

And lastly, I did not have one of the very best Mother’s Days ever.  That would mean I am way too easy to please…and it would not be good for my reputation if that got out around here!!

Here are some really cute and funny quotes and stories about Moms.  Perfect for Mother’s Day!!  Pass them on and make another Mom smile!!

“Mothers are all slightly insane.” – J.D. Salinger

“I want my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them.” – Phyllis Diller

“The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.” – Calvin Trillin

“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.” – Oscar Wilde

“A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.” – Tenneva Jordan

“There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.” – Chinese Proverb

“You don’t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around – and why his parents will always wave back.” – William D. Tammeus.

“My mother’s menu consisted of two choices: Take it or leave it.” – Buddy Hackett

“Any mother could perform the jobs of several air-traffic controllers with ease.” – LisaAlther

“My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.” – Mark Twain

While assembling furniture, Mary asked her roommate’s five-year-old son to bring her a screwdriver. “Do you want a ‘Daddy’ screwdriver or a ‘Mommy’ screwdriver?” the little boy asked. Confused with the question, Mary said, “Bring me a ‘Mommy’ screwdriver.” The child came back and handed her a butter knife.

For weeks, a six-year old lad kept telling his first-grade teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house. One day, the mother allowed the boy to feel the movements of the unborn child. The six-year old was obviously impressed, but made no comment. Furthermore, he stopped telling his teacher about the impending event. The teacher finally sat the boy on her lap and said, “Tommy, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?” Tommy burst into tears and confessed, “I think Mommy ate it!”

A mother and her young son returned from the grocery shop and began putting away the groceries. The boy opened the box of animal crackers and spread them all over the table. “What are you doing?” his mother asked. “The box says you can’t eat them if the seal is broken,” the boy explained. “Therefore I’m looking for the seal”, he cutely said.
