  29. I had a necklace with my two boys' names on it – Cannon and Carter. I NEVER took it off! I just had a baby in September, so I need a new one that reads: Cannon, Carter, and Christian. 🙂

  60. My sister just told me about your blog. Her husband calls it "the blog of the girl that you are trying to live your life through." We laughed about it, but really I love reading your thoughts about kids, life, etc. Thanks for sharing! Oh, and beautiful necklace.

  76. So beautiful. This past week, I tried my hand at making this type of necklace. It was hard. Ha! Needless to say, it takes practice, a good eye and some "artsy" talent. Would love to win.

  236. My sister-in-law at the ripe age of 23 had her first babies. A set of boy twins and one died the day he was born. Her visiting teachers gave her a necklace with both boys names on it just like this with an extra piece that says "always in my heart". I never see her without it… such a beautiful gift and this looks like like it!

  312. My sister inlaw just had her third baby on Dec. 1st The first two children she had have autism and she is an amzing mom to them. When this new baby came they found out right away his has serious heart problems and if the operation goes ok he might not be home for Christmas. If I win. I'd like her childrens names put on them to make a tough time maybe a little sweeter with a beautiful necklace she can wear even though she can't be with all three children at once she can wear the necklace.Thanks~

  339. I would love to win this necklace! This is the sort of thing that would be a perfect gift for the doula that helped me through the labor and birth of my first baby this year! I'm not sure which words I would use on the necklace but they would be words that described just how special she is! She has seen so many women (and their husbands) through such an amazing experience!

  356. I've looked at those types of necklace before and think they're beautiful. I can't justify buying one myself though and have no one who would buy one for me, so my only hope is to win one…. 🙂

    I started reading your blog about a week ago and cannot tell you how much you have inspired me! I think I was a pretty ok mom before but you have given me so many ideas on how to be even more 'on purpose.'

    Thank you for sharing all that you do! You are really making a difference!

  590. I {love, love, love} the idea of having my 2013 "one word" on a necklace. I already have my word chose and what a great daily reminder it would be to have it around my neck to 'see' (that's my one word, by the way) every day.
    oooohhhh, I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed 🙂

  631. A dear friend of mine is coming upon the first anniversary of the death of her 7 year old. He was born with only one eye, and many health problems . I have been pondering a gift to give her to remember him. I would love to honor her with a necklace with his name on it and the names of her other children. Look at her blog. Winkfromheaven.blogspot.com It will inspire you and touch your heart.

  644. Wow. I'd love this. I have six kids I'd love hanging around my neck. And I have the same word year after year….waiting to master it…..along with another word I keep in mind as I go throughout the year. Thank you!!!

  654. Thanks for keeping this blog up and running. You and your family have been great examples to me as I raise my family. Sometimes all we need is someone to show us a new way of doing things, to inspire a little creativity, and to teach us positive insight that may differ from how our own families have always done things.
    Please put me in the drawing – I'd love one of those necklaces!
