When I spotted this “Truly Blessed” necklace on the Kate Austin Jewelry website, I fell in love with it. I stopped by the Kate Austin shop just to visit it in person. If this simple, beautiful necklace doesn’t capture the essence of motherhood, I don’t know what does. So I put it on my “wish list” immediately. And I was really happy when owner Claire Branscum called me later to say she would o
ffer this piece as a Mother’s Day giveaway for one lucky Motherlode reader. (Thanks, Claire!)
The “Truly Blessed” necklace is made by designer Karibou and retails for $60.

I am truly blessed to be a mother. My daughter has brought me more joy than I could ever imagine. I wake up everyday thankful that I get to share my life with her.
I am confronted with many people that think that because I have three boys that I am pitied or need prayer…I do need prayer, but I feel very blessed for my boys. I can’t imagine my life any different. I would love to have a girl but a forth boy would be great as well. I am truly blessed
My children have made me a better person, woman and daughter. When i’m having a bad day all it takes is one smile from them and it’s the most peaceful feeling. My life is so much more than it ever could have been, because of them.
My daughter is an amazing little person. She blesses me daily and she is the joy and delight of my life.
Her smile and personality are such a motivator for all who know her.
Thank you, God for my little blessing!
