A gift for a mom who hates to leave her kids behind.

Connor is a traveler, meaning he routinely spends the night at other family members homes. It's not that I don't like having him here or I'm one of those moms that cherishes her nights alone, its really quite the opposite.. I hate having him gone. However I have a large family who loves to spend time with him and sometimes the toil of being a full time student, writing full time, and being a mom does wear on me and it is nice to get a full nights rest. However the biggest reason he spends a few nights a month away is well I didn't want him to be one of those kids who would be attached to my leg when its time to start preschool or do his first sleepover. Sadly for me my plan worked as Connor now happily helps pack his bag and jumps in the car with his cousins and waves bye bye as happy as a clam excited to be spending time with his cousins or grandparents. I'm the one sitting at home sad, missing him, and wishing he was here.

Its ok anytime I'm feeling a bit Connor-sick I just have to look as far as my neckline as he comes with me in spirit everywhere I go. My custom made necklace from Julian & Co is a huge comfort. I ended up with the most beautiful square necklace that has him on the front and his birth stats on the back. Its a heavy silver square that I find myself rubbing between my fingers anytime I need a little reassurance. Especially on those rough days at school when I wonder why on earth am I here? Heh.. its also a great reminder that its ok that my stomach doesn't exactly look the way it used to, he was a good 8.2 lbs though you would never know it these days from how petite he is now. My stomach can tell you though. heh.

Julian & Co offers a wide selection of options for Moms, Dads, and even Toddlers that want to show off the people they love. I absolutely love the the galleria circle pendants simple, beautiful, and you can personalize them any way you wish. Depending on your taste you can get a large pendant or small and can even choose what length necklace you'd like to have. Add your child's name on the front and their birth info on the back, customize a special message for your own mom, or just something for a special lady in your life it does not necessarily have to be for a mom at all. I think it would be super romantic to get one with a special phrase to commemorate an anniversary or birthday.

Tania, the creator of Julian & Co is a woman after my own heart. Born out of the love for her own son who was born prematurely she had a difficult time finding an ID bracelet that would fit him correctly. Once she got started designing jewelry she wanted to display her love for Julian every moment of the day. Though Connor was only three weeks premature I totally understand where she is coming from. I never thought I would be lucky enough to have a baby at all so from the moment Connor arrived I have been wanting to scream his name from the roof tops!! Speaking of which I really need to get Connor an ID bracelet. I think every baby needs one special piece even boys!

Head on over to Julian & Co and check out their great line of personalized jewelry. I'm not sure there isn't a mom on this earth that wouldn't love to have a great personalized piece all her own.
