Thank you to Tough as a mother for sending a gorgeous necklace, for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

Parenting is one of the most rewarding experiences on earth. The joy and the love and the pride that our children bring us is beyond compare.

However, let’s be honest.

Parenting is also challenging. It’s tough. The worry, the sleepless nights, the energy drain, the intense desire for good things and happiness for our children is also beyond compare.

When I received info about Tough as a Mother jewelry, I immediately knew that founder Jennifer Cervantes got it. She understands what the parenting journey looks like and feels like. She unites with other mothers and also cheers them on.

Learn more about Jennifer’s mission in life and her beautiful, energy boosting jewelry.

Meet Jennifer Cervantes, Founder of Tough as a Mother

Before she had kids, Jennifer envisioned motherhood. She saw herself at the park with her children, sipping a latte and wearing cute flats, with her trendy diaper bag beside her.

The reality is different, two kids later. Jennifer discovered the days are way more messy, loud and chaotic than she ever thought possible. Motherhood isn’t necessarily worse, just different.  It’s no wonder, she says, that we talk about being tough as a mother – moms need to be strong!

The Birth of Tough as a Mother Tribe

Jennifer discovered her calling, making jewelry for mothers, when she hit the lowest point in her own journey. Working 12 hour days as a teacher to underprivileged children, her body began to shut down. Unable to nurse her five month old baby, Jennifer knew she needed a change. She utilizes gemstones to design pieces that honor the most joyous and the most raw parts of motherhood. And her personalized pieces allow mothers around the world to unite in a quiet, but strong, bond. Our triumphs and trials become shared experiences as we cheer each other on.

Jennifer shares:

“Whether you are buying for yourself, a first-time mom just embarking on her motherhood journey, or a third-time mom choosing hope as she carries her rainbow baby, you are in the right place. You are strong, beautiful and tough as a mother. Let’s honor your journey.”

A Peek at the Tough as a Mother Jewelry

Intrigued by Jennifer’s story and her passion for encouraging mothers, I visited the website. I love what I found.

The gemstone necklaces boost energy in different ways, depending on the stone.

Cool Mama Necklace with Chalcedony Stone

This necklace with the light blue chalcedony stone helps mamas stay cool, calm and collected, even under the pressures of motherhood. The cool mama necklace is perfect for new mothers or those wearing many hats while they parent their children.

The chalcedony stone necklace calms racing minds, balances thoughts and increases communication between ourselves and others to help us find a clear path forward, no matter the circumstance.

Balanced Mama Necklace with Quartz Stone

This clear quartz stone necklace helps mamas maintain patience and energy because motherhood requires both. The balanced mama necklace is perfect for mothers in all stages of parenting.

The clear quartz necklace helps mothers maintain balance – simply grab ahold of it whenever you need a tangible reminder to take a deep breath. Quartz also promotes positive energy and perseverance.

Cool Vibes Mama Necklace with Labradorite Stone

This blue/brown stone necklace helps mamas live with clear minds, positive thoughts and a deep connection to their intuition. The labradorite gemstone enhances our ability to reconnect with ourselves and our true identity as a mother and only let the good vibes in, so all mama guilt can fade away.

The blue labradorite also clears worries, protects from negativity and promotes strength and perseverance. Every mama can benefit from this beautiful necklace.

This is the necklace I chose!

Initial Necklaces and Custom Necklaces

Tough as a Mother also offers initial necklaces. The initials are .925 sterling silver with 18K gold. They come on a 16″ or 18″ 14K gold-filled chain and may be customized with a gemstone of choice at the back clasp.

Wear your child’s initial on a necklace. Or customize a necklace by spelling out your child’s name or by adding the initials of all of your children or grandchildren, up to six initials.

I’m Tough as a Mother…and You Are Too

I received my Cool Vibes Mama necklace, with the labradorite stone, and I love it. I’m one who appreciates the beauty of gemstones and also recognizes the benefits the stones impart.

The labradorite stone is perfect for me as I connect ever deeper with my intuitive side, distance myself from negativity and absolutely embrace who I am 100%. My wild woman nature rejoices as I wear my necklace.

I’m thrilled and honored that this company reached out to me. Jennifer’s mission and values align with my own. My mother and my daughters and daughter-in-law…all fierce and tough mothers…are receiving necklaces from Tough as a Mother, for Mother’s Day.
