It's spring and you're no doubt spending as many minutes outside with the kids as possible (at least if you don't suffer from seasonal allergies).

Mother Day Giveaway: Charmed Jewelry by Cocoa Crayon

I love this prize for so many reasons...

   1. It's jewelry, and who doesn't love a little extra bling on Mother's Day?
   2. All of the charms are classic symbols of motherhood and childhood, all designed in a modern, yet vintage style.
   3. 25% of the proceeds from the sale of any Charmed by Cocoa Crayon products go to children's charities in the areas of health, wellness, and education.

Cocoa Crayon has generously offered up a $300 gift certificate to the winner—that'll get you a pretty souped up sterling silver charm necklace, or if you prefer the more delicate, then perhaps a single 14K gold charm on a chain is the way to go.

PS...I gave the Jax charm to my sister for her birthday this year (we were jacks champs as kids), and you would have thought I'd given her a winning lottery ticket. She loved it!
