My mother in law's big birthday was 2 months ago... how old you might ask?
A true woman never reveals her age.
Anyways, Joe, his sister, and I wanted to get her something nice to celebrate the occasion.
However, this was kind of difficult since they will be moving in 1 year down to Florida to retire so they do not want any new stuff for the house, and she really did not need anything.
A light bulb went on in my head.
Lets start her a charm bracelet.
This way we can add to it over the years
and it is something that she can wear and think of us when they move to Florida.
I did some looking in to charm bracelets and decided to go with Pandora primarily because it is sold in 2423 stores in the US, and you can always order on line as gift. This way no matter where everyone is it is something we can find.
So for her birthday we purchased the bracelet to start the collection.
We opted to go with a sterling silver one.
Then we each pick out a charm that had our birthstone in it.
Mine is seen below- Pearl for June!!!
For mother's day yesterday, we gave her another charm with flowers on it.
This is a cute Mother's day tradition to start.
One that I might actually start with my mother at some point. She has a charm bracelet that my dad started for her when you had us but it is outdated and difficult to find charm to place on it because it was designed in a small jewelry store.
Good things to keep in the back of your head for next year
