My happy purchase

There are certain steps that I knew I would eventually take as a mother. I am slowly checking some things off the list...

Saying some of the things my mother used to say to me... completed.
Buying a minivan... completed.
Finding a few gray hairs... completed.
Loving Friday nights where we stay at home and just "be" a family... completed.
Cutting my hair.... not quite there yet...

I've been contemplating buying a piece of jewelry representing my children for a long time. I wanted a necklace. I wanted something simple, and without birth stones. I wanted something relatively inexpensive, being my kids are going to be yanking on my chain (no pun intended) for the next 18 years.

The necklace I bought is just like this one, minus the pearl in the middle.

Of course the initials say 'C' & 'M'. I love it. Seeing this necklace around my neck makes me happy. And I love that it only cost me $37. The company is called "The Vintage Pearl". You can check out their website here. (if you're a Bachelorette fan, you'll enjoy knowing that Trista purchased her mother's necklace from this company... and we all want to be just like her, right?!)
