Celebrating Moms and Mother's Day - part 7

5/11/2017

0 Comments

 
Today we are celebrating two special Moms! Here's to Grandmothers, Mothers, Stepmothers, blended families and second chances!!

Full disclosure, Maria Elena is like a second Mother to me. Ana & I grew up together (yes, we have the same name). Our Mothers were (and still are) best friends since the year we were born which made this post all the sweeter. I had the honor of designing Ana's wedding jewelry last month. My good friend has gotten a second chance at love. She deserves it and it makes me so happy to see her shine!

Thank you Emily & Jasper Photography for capturing these special moments at Ana's wedding and graciously allowing us to share them with you.

Maria Elena, Ana, Victoria & Liz

 Wedding Jewelry for Brides and BridesmaidsFrom L to R: Maria Elena Carrillo (Mother of 4 & Grandmother of 13), Ana Carrillo Luck (Mother of 4 & Step Mother of 3) with daughter, Victoria Lewis



I asked Ana:
What's the best thing about your Mom?
JUST ONE?!! She gets up with me!! LOL! I would say her generosity. She's taught me to give. She's just AWESOME!
What would you like to tell her for Mother's Day?
Thanks Mom for the unconditional love. For never giving up and always WANTING to be there, not just needing to but wanting to be. For giving me a chance to live and make mistakes and being patient while I figured it out.

What about you?! What's the best thing about being a Mom?
It's really special when you get to the point where you can be a Mom and a friend at the same time. Even better when you have a child that loves you unconditionally 'cause it's hard to be a perfect Mom. Knowing that you love another human so much that you would give your own life for theirs or even for their happiness.
Did the girls like the jewelry you gave them?
OMG yes! Liz put her hand over it and said, "Ms. Ana, I know that you love me so much to think about me on your special day!"

I asked Victoria:
What's the best thing about your Mom?
Her energetic and joyful personality. She walks into a room and it just instantly lights up because she just has this uplifting presence about her that makes everyone around her feel good!
Is there a piece of jewelry you own that is special to you? (Victoria)
My confirmation necklace and ring have the most symbolic meanings for me. My Mom gave me the cross ring and pendant and my Grandmother gave me the gold saint pendant that she had blessed in the Vatican before I was even born. I wear all of these on a daily basis and it's a great reminder of who I am and who I was made to be.
What would you like to say to your Mom for Mother's Day?
Thanks Mom, for showing me what a strong, independent woman looks like and teaching me how to be a fighter. I would also like to thank you for believing in me always.
