Phew, this was a such a hard decision. I read every entry and there were quite a few of them. Thanks so much to everyone who participated!
Congratulations to Jessica for writing in and winning free jewelry for her Mom. I notified Jessica tonight and we are working together to choose jewelry that her Mom will love and wear!
Here is what Jessica sent in to Designing-Diva Jewelry.....
Growing up my mom was the cool mom who planned old school birthday party games and cool treat bags - my friends still talk about the birthday parties my mom organized!!
She was the mom who made homemade bread and cookies every week and had a supper made every night for the family to sit and eat together.
She would play board games with me and talk for hours with me.
My mom has always rocked.
But since my son entered the world 12 weeks ago I have realized my mom is more than just my mom. More than just my friend even. I realized that my mom is a strong support system. My mom is like a solid and reliable rock in my life. She is full of ideas and advice, but she doesn't throw it at me. She waits till I ask. She has told well wishers who have tried to give her advice to pass on to me about the baby that she "will not pass on advice to my daughter. When she needs to know something she will ask."
I love that my mom doesn't try to live my life or plan my life for me! She is an encourager - a cheerleader for my life.
I am so blessed to have her as my mom!
