The Momma: Bubbe, you know how Thursdays are review days on the blog? I was thinking, maybe we should have a really great giveaway for adults this week. I really want them to know how very important they are, and how much I am truly inspired by all of them. We've done a lot of things for all the cuddly little monsters out there. I think it's their turn.
Bubbe: That's what makes you The Momma. You know that it's not just the little chamudim who need some good love. Parents need some attention, too!
The Momma: I was thinking about how much we advocate for our monsters, to doctors and insurance reps, teachers and therapists, friends and family, and I thought truly, this giveaway is so appropriate.
Bubbe: I think it's time teach you a new word, Momma. Brachot (with that funny "ch" that's more like a phlegmy "h"). It means "blessings". Brachot can, of course, be blessings from God. But they're just as powerful when they come from friends, loved ones, even strangers. Jews give each other a traditional birthday blessing: "May you live to be 120." Another common one is "osher v'osher" -- you should have great health and wealth. A little blessing from one person to another goes a long, long way.
The Momma: Exactly! Furthermore, as far as I'm concerned, anything that makes a parent feel more empowered in a world where so much is out of their control is a GOOD thing! May I introduce all y'all to Alef Bet Jewelry.

Bubbe: For those who don't know and haven't guessed, Alef Bet is Hebrew for Alphabet, which I think ties in so nicely with LwL's focus on kids.
The Momma: Alef Bet, while offering Jewish jewelry, also offers stunning pieces that anyone, of any religion (or no religion) will love. They have a brand new collection out called the Blessings Collection. The Blessings Collection is a series of three blessings: fortune, health, and protection.
Above is a close look at one of the blessings necklaces from Alef Bet. It's exactly like the one I am wearing now. The pendant is very small, smaller than my (completely chewed up) thumbnail, and I love it! The back of the pendant says "blessing". Whether you are religious or not, (and I am not all that religious) these necklaces will become a favorite piece of jewelry. They are designed in such a way that they can be worn constantly; during sleep, during the day, while showering, etc. I have gotten lots and lots of compliments on mine, and I have not taken it off since receiving it last week.
Bubbe: You know what I love about this design? It's a perfect "worry bead". When you're needing a little extra strength, you can find this blessing near your heart and hold on tight to it. Poor your worry into it and then let the anxiety go.
The Momma: Here's the REALLY exciting part! You can enter to win one of THREE necklaces! That's right, Alef Bet is giving away a Blessings necklace to THREE lucky people from our lil ole blog!
