WEEK 1 PRIZES

I was given the privilege of selecting the 2 prize options for the week 1 Mom Moments Facebook Sweepstakes. I enlisted my mom to help me select the pieces. My mom chose the Rose Gold Diamond Heart Necklace

and I chose the Sterling Silver Diamond Heart Necklace.

I think it’s funny that we independently selected similar pieces. She likes gold and I like silver and we both like simple designs. I particularly selected the diamond heart necklace because I think the best advice for a new mom is to “follow your heart.”

This is my mama, she’s wearing her Rose Gold Diamond Heart Necklace from Jared.

Tips for New Moms or Moms-to-Be

1. Enjoy to Newborn Phase – You’re tired and completely overwhelmed but don’t let these fleeting moments pass without soaking in this new miracle of life.
2. Rest Whenever Possible – They say “nap when the baby naps” but even if you can’t “sleep” it’s imperative that you rest. The dishes can wait, you need rest so you can be the best mom to your little one.
3. Ask For and Accept Help – You don’t have to be superwoman, no one is expecting you to. People love to help new moms, especially if it means holding a baby for a few minutes.
4. Take a few “Me” Moments – Taking care of a baby 24/7 can be exhausting so remember to take a little time to do something for yourself.  A long shower or bath can wash away stress and anxiety or a quick trip to the store by yourself can help you regain your sanity.
5. Follow Your Heart – A lot of people will give you advice, feel free to take it or leave it. You are the only one who truly knows what is best for YOUR child.
