This giveaway is now closed. The winner will be announced sometime on Monday, May 26. Thanks for entering!
I love jewelry, but I’m not very girlie. I’m more of a wooden-bead-necklace, simple-silver-hoop-earrings kind of mama. So when I first saw Lisa Leonard Designs featured here and there around the blogosphere, I wanted something of hers right. away.
I’ve always wanted one of those mommy-type of necklaces or bracelets – you know, the kind that embellish your kids’ names on a charm or beads. But I’ve never really found any that were my type. They’re always too… girlie. Too cutesy and bubbly.
That’s why I LOVE Lisa’s designs. They’re sweet and feminine, but they’re not frou-frou. She hammers the sterling silver into something unique and personal – the rustic, handmade feel is trademark to her style. And whether you personalize it with your kids’ names or something else altogether, it will be the only piece of jewelry of its kind, because she hand crafts each one individually.
You really need to go to her store and check out her stuff. Well, read the rest of this post, and then head over there.
How’s this for some eye candy?
And guess what?
Lisa is offering one Simple Mom reader a FREE necklace!
She will make you a handcrafted “tiny squares” necklace (shown at left) with whatever words you want emblazened on the squares. A cream freshwater pearl adds that dollop of femininity I love. This piece of jewelry is valued at $46. I’m getting this very necklace with my two kidlet’s names. I’m so excited!
Here’s how you can enter to win:
1. Leave a comment on this post – tell me your favorite summertime activity.
2. Be sure your comment has a valid e-mail address attached to it!
3. To be entered a second time: subscribe to my feed and look for the secret code at the bottom of any post. E-mail me with the secret code in the subject line to simplemomblog [at] gmail [dot] com.
4. To be entered a third time: share the news about this giveaway on your blog, and either trackback to this post or e-mail with the post’s link.
4. You may enter starting today, May 22 until Sunday, May 25 at midnight Central Standard time. I’ll randomly draw a name and announce the winner on Monday, May 26.
Be sure to explore Lisa’s blog as well. She shares her family’s heartwarming story about her oldest son and his journey through CdLS. A great mama, indeed!
Have fun, and I hope YOU win! No no, not you, the one over there, with the goofy grin on your face. Yes, YOU.

Oh I love jewelry like that!! pick me!
Emilys last blog post..New Patio
My favorite summertime activity is relaxing in the shade and chatting about everything and nothing with my kids.
My favorite is days at my grandparents cabin by the lake with kids splashing in the water and adults chatting nearby. So comfortable and wrapped in family.
My favorite summertime activity? Playing 4 square in the driveway with the kids. It’s fun. It’s active. The risks of injury are small. And a non-athlete like me can actually play.
Karen (Pediascribe)s last blog post..AND I THOUGHT I KNEW WHO I WAS
My favorite summer activity is making a surprise stop at a playground with my two kids. I pack a picnic lunch and a picnic blanket in the trunk of my car and tell them we’re going to run errands. Then after I tell them we have “just one last stop” I pull into the parking lot and cheer “yay–here’s our last stop!” They love getting “tricked” like this.
the jewelry is amazing! i would love to have any of the pieces! especially one with my kids names on it! my favorite summertime activity is going to the beach…hands down…we try to go every other week. we go to dillon beach near bodega bay. It’s a quiet beach and we love that…the water is too cold to swim but we picnic and walk along the shore…sometimes the kids skim board.
Beautiful! My absolutely favorite summer activity is to pack up nice and early on those sunny days and head to the beach (lake). The kids are entertained and I can read my book, it’s a win win!
Org Junkies last blog post..13 storage items to buy off Etsy OR look I have another addiction……
Love the “handcrafting” look of here jewelry!
Summertime fun for me is reading in a bit of sun, visiting family, and a beach trip, if I can give up some few and far between vacation time!
I love Lisa’s work. I’ve been eyeing it for awhile!
One of my favorite summer time activities is a harvesting produce from our garden and being able to have fresh veggies for our meals! Yum!
Lindss last blog post..Wholesome Foods on a Budget: Meats
That jewelry is beautiful!
My favorite summertime activity is napping.
One of my favorite summertime activities is to go to Stokes State Forest (in NJ) and hike on part of the Appalachian Trail (OK, I admit, its only about 500 ft of the trail if that much!
)and sit at the scenic overlook and just look at the beauty of NJ! (yes, there are parts of NJ that are really nice!)
My favorite summertime activity is going to San Jose Family Camp with my best friends, and all of our children. It is a week of fun, sun, laughter, and no cooking for the moms!
Do I still get a chance to win if I have more than ONE favorite summertime activity ??? LOL
1-Well, I think in the beginning of summer, when the herbs/flowers are breaking through, my favorite thing to do is teach my children (and learn too) and “guess” which flower is which-before it gets big and familiar or before it blooms and gives itself away. So, that is one fun fav.
Another is lying under a sheet in the yard and napping, which I rarely get to do with my 3 boys running around, but it is a very cherished thing to do in the summer when it happens.
3-read read read
4-read at the beach, read at the beach, read at the beach
if naming more than one disqualifies me, please only use number 1-hee hee
shawnas last blog post..GREEN SMOOTHIES
I’m so with you on the jewellery thing!
My favourite summertime thing is taking the kids to a nearby lake for the morning. We get ready the night before, pack up early, and have hours of relatively cool, people free play before the crowds arrive just before lunchtime. Peaceful, relaxing, and fun. :0)
Charitys last blog post..Gentle Arts
Nice! My favorite summer activity is to just relax on the patio with a nice beverage and in the company of a good conversation!
Love this jewelry! I typically don’t like the “mommy” type stuff, but I love these designs!!! My favorite summertime activity is a picnic in the park!
Pams last blog post..Healthy Eating update
Fave summertime activity – just being in the backyard with my kids all the time! It keeps us away from the t.v. and fuels our imaginations!
Sarah Brays last blog post..Carnival of Modern Home Dwelling Day Eight: Outdoor Living
LOVE Lisa Leonard! And my favorite summer activity is joining the local library kids’ reading program. Because I love for my kids to read and…well, because it’s air-conditioned.
WOW! I like this necklace. Wouldn’t it be great with all the grandkids names? (I know, I may not be eligible – being your mom and all.) But my favorite summer activity would be to be in the Colorado mountains at a log cabin with a clear stream running by sitting in a comfortable chair outside listening to the birds and the sound of grandkids giggles. Oh, back to reality… How about a picnic at Zilker.
I love the farmers market in the summertime… and going back each week to see what wonderful new fruit is at it’s peak. Sampling all the fresh yumminess. All the families. The music. The children and the old folks dancing “like nobody’s watching”.
Jills last blog post..This day deserves a fresh, clean page.
Reading under a tree…..
LOVE IT! I’m with you on desiring a cute kiddoe necklace and these are perfect!

alicias last blog post..Fro Me to You–Twins Edition
My favorite summer memory/tradition is making small floats for our neighborhood parade on the 4th of July. We started this tradition with some friends when our kids were less than a year old. The first float was made out of a pack n play on wheels (we added) adorned with streamers, balloons and all things red, white and blue. Inside were 2 little infants enjoying the ride. Afterwards we bbq on our block with all of our neighbors! So fun!

Denises last blog post..progress
How can I pick just one?! Aside from just plain being WARM for a change (very harsh winter here!!) I’ve really been looking forward to going to the farmer’s markets with my girls. Nothing says summer quite like the markets.
Julies last blog post..ooh, so crafty and clever
My current favorite activity is sitting outside on a lawn chair watching the kids play in a wadding pool. It amazes me that they can be completely entertained in area that is no bigger than 10 by 4 for hours on end with nothing more than water, a few balls and old tupperware. Gotta love cheap summer fun.
My favorite summertime activity are daytrips with my family. My husband has fridays off during the summer and we live about an hour outside of LA, so we try to take advantage of all the fun things there are to do in the city, yet we still get to go home at the end of the day! I love to do this! The necklace is beautiful and there’s nothing this mom loves more then to “wear” her kids! Thanks for offering this!

My fave activity this summer will be going to the pool with my 6 month old son. He loves his bath so I can only imagine how much he will love the pool.
I love summers here – though they are hot, they’re soooooo fun. Anything with water is my favorite – pools, Barton Springs, tubing in NB, you name it. I can’t wait to take the Bug to the pool!

We love going to the local water park and spending the long, hot, summer days! When we aren’t there we are home in the yard playing games and watching the kids run through the sprinklers.
Hmmm… favorite summertime activity? I have to say spending time at the beach with my son. He is super into sand these days!
My favorite summer past time is of course being outside with my children. Anything outside esp. playing in the water is my ultimate favorite. This is my daughter’s 1st real summer she is able to enjoy the sunshine so I’m going to enjoy watching her soak it all in.

Colleens last blog post..What’s for Dinner: BBQ Pork Ribs

Good luck everyone!
My favorite summer time activity with my kids is taking them to the different farms in the area, picking fresh fruit and vegetables. We have so much fun, support the local farmers, and get healthy food that all of my kids will try since we picked it.
ONe of my favorite summertime activities is to make homemade lemonade popcicles and eat them on a hot lazy afternoon!!!
Beautiful! My favorite summer time activity is spending lazy days at a rented beach house…I’m ready NOW!
Living in TX now, my favorite summer activity is anything which does not involve going outside! lol. Back home in MA, my favorite was going for long, night time walks, sitting by the water and watching the lights play off the surface and enjoying a soft breeze against my skin. That was before kids, obviously
My favorite thing to do in the summer is visit my family in Southern California. We always make a trip out to the beach and spend plenty of time by the pool. It is the perfect vacation… family, fun and sun.

Please pick me!!
Karis last blog post..Easter 2008
I think my favorite thing about summer is the fact that it stays light out longer which allows for more outdoor family time. I also LOVE all the fresh food. Can’t wait to see who wins!

Lindsey Ws last blog post..Date Night…
I love summertime happy hour with the neighbors–you know, the spur of the moment, 5:00-ish time of day when you see your neighbor hanging out on her porch, so you go over, beer in hand, and soon 3, 4, 5 or so neighbors join in and you just talk, drink and enjoy the evening.
Beautiful! Our family’s favorite summer activity is cooking and eating outside.
Tricias last blog post..Everybody’s talking about this

Thanks for the chance to win –what cool necklaces!!
What an awesome giveaway! I’m a huge Lisa Leonard fan!
My favorite summer activity is watching my husband race his dirt-track modified race car with my kiddos! It’s so fun to see my boys cheer him on and be his “mini” pit crew!
My favorite summertime activity is to head for the beach late in the day for a swim and a picnic dinner. We love to get there between 3 and 4, just as the day crowd is heading home. By 6 we have the beach to ourselves. We swim and play and then have a relaxed picnic dinner. By 8 we pack up the car and then drive to our favorite summer ice cream stand. The end of a perfect summer evening with kids.
Micheles last blog post..But the BEST thing was FREE!

Evas last blog post..Happy Earth Day
Watching my little boy run through the sprinkler…and try to avoid the water, for the first few minutes until he gets used to it. is one of my favorite summer time activities.

Melissas last blog post..Oh I will miss Publix!

CupcakeDDs last blog post..Happy Birthday to Me!
I love to spend the whole day in the pool. I can spend hours floating around on rafts with my hubby, splashing and throwing and playing tag with my kids and doing a few laps so I feel like I’ve gotten some exercise. Then we barbeque something simple and get back into the water. We’re all exhausted but happy by the end of the day.

Great jewelry designs! This summer I plan to soak up some rays and be spontanious.
I have too many favorite summertime activities. Since I’m blessed to live by the ocean, my all time favorite is simply reading at the beach. But I also love having dinner guests and eating outside in the long, warm evenings.
Enter me!
Living in Minnesota, summers are short but relished! When I was young we would go live out that the lake with my grandparents. My whole family would go. We would leave when school got out in the spring and come back in when it started in the fall. My grandparents home was only a 45 minute drive away but it felt like an eternity when first going out there. I coudn’t wait to go boating, swimming, playing with my friends I had made the summers before. My grandparents sold their place when I was 13. Summers just weren’t the same without going to the lake.
Irronically, I met my husband on that same lake many year later. Who was I to know that that lake would be my destiny!
Hello! My favorite summer activity is reading a great book and relaxing outside while my boys play.
Shawnas last blog post..A Book Review
Favorite summer activity: going to the beach, hands down. It’s a two-hour drive, worth every mile for the sun, sand, and serenity–which I can still find with lots of people all around! It’s the same beach I first went to as a baby and grew up going to each summer. Now my children will be able to say the same! Thanks for the chance(s) to win this pretty necklace!
Amy G.s last blog post..More of the same!
I posted your contest on my blog and subscribed to your feed, I e-mailed you about it!

I’d love one of these…they are so cute!!!
I love to play outside with my boys!
I love sitting on my swing in the front yard with my children. We talk about everything, or nothing.
My favorite summer activities are two fold: first, I love lazy, hot afternoons with a good book, some cold sweet tea, and playing with my kids in the pool. Second, I love sneaking away for an impromptu date with The Boss on a summer night for iced coffees or ice cream cones, in a flirty skirt and great summer sandals.
The Gang’s All Here!s last blog post..Favorites Friday
Great blog and beautiful necklaces!
A perfect day.
My favorite summertime activity is to go to the beach with a group of girlfriends and all our kids (toddlers to young elementary age). We prop up a bunch of umbrellas, spread out the sand toys and sit back to chat while our kids play and have fun. The kids are worn out at the end of the day so they usually go to bed early and sleep like logs that night.
Our favorite summertime activity is eating homemade icecream with Grandma! Thanks for this awesome necklace. I love Lisa!
Our favorite summertime activity is going to the water park on a hot day and cooling off. Thanks.
My favorite summertime activity is a cook out with my family or sitting on my patio with a good book.
Nancy
my favorite summertime activity is spending time on the lake with my family, here in vermont. any sun we get up here, we cherish!
I love playing spending time our backyard with my two children. I could spend hours watching them play in their little plastic pool and slide.

Ginnys last blog post..Review ~ This is ME Kid’s First Keepsake Journal

Brianas last blog post..Our Florida Vacation, April 2008
Came over from Lisa’s blog – her jewelry is beautiful! My favorite summertime activitiy is floating down the crystal clear river in our boat, drinking an ice-cold Dr. Pepper! In fact, I plan to do exactly that this weekend!
I just love summer! But my favorite activity is taking the kids to the beach; building sand castles, looking up at the clouds to see what silly shapes we can describe, and just being lazy.
Thanks for the giveaway! Lisa Leonard has great jewelry!
My favorite summer time activity is picking the kids up after work and going to the beach. It’s quiet mid-week in the evening, the sun is low, the water is warm, and we just have the best time.
Amandas last blog post..
I live on a farm, my “real job” is as a 3rd grade teacher, but my favorite summer activity is working at my family’s fresh produce stand. It’s GREAT fun (though it does get a bit hot out)

my favorite summertime activities are weekends at the beach and eating lots of ice cream!
Love your site! Full of brilliant ideas…

Summer wouldn’t be the same without popcicles in the backyard with the kiddos. joceybd@sbcglobal.net
Jocelyns last blog post..Heat Wave
I love going on evening bike rides with my husband and 2 boys. But not necessarily because the are fun for me. I despise almost anything that has to do with exercise and fresh air (lol). No, I go because they have a blast, which makes me feel great! And sometimes as a reward, we stop for ice cream along the way!
Skye D.s last blog post..Krystal
My favorite summertime activity is heading out to the beach at Lake Tahoe (about 40 min from our house) and bringing all of their little, plastic, cheap toys…you know the kind given away at fast food places (not that we ever go there!)…and then we create wonderful landscapes for the toys…entire melodramas in the sand!
Sophies last blog post..All Things Thank You and Idol.
Swimming in my mother-in-laws pool with my little one when it is just the two of us!! It is so fun and private and we are completely silly-I LOVE SUMMER!!!

My favorite summertime activity is roasting marshmallows in the backyard after dinner. It’s a family favorite!
Stephanies last blog post..thank you!
I love Lisa’s jewerly! My favorite summertime activity is an evening activity! After I give my 5 and 3 year old a bath we go outside to catch lightening bugs!!! We then put them in a Duke’s mayonnaise jar and watch them light up. Right before bedtime we let them out and off to bed we go!!
What a gorgeous piece of jewelry! My favorite summer activity is by far camping at my favorite spot near a creek in the mountains. I have gone (even if just for one day in my adulthood) every year since I can remember!
Heidi @ Mt Hopes last blog post..Anno’s Journey
We have an AWESOME neighborhood that has many families with kids around the same age. One of the families has a portable projector and a large movie screen. We often get together and have outdoor movie nights after dark followed by firefly collecting. That is my families favorite summer activity!
We love swimming and just being out in the sunshine (with sunscreen).
I’ve been loving Lisa’s blog for awhile now. Thanks for hosting the give-away.
Lately one of my favorite summertime activites has been driving a fire engine in our small neighborhood parade. That, and watching my second son enjoy watermelon.
My husband and I are teachers, so our favorite summertime activity (along with our three children) is to sleep until we wake up and make pancakes for breakfast. We love not having to be anywhere or do anything…we are on our OWN time!
Anns last blog post..POTW…Happiness is…
I just love her jewelry. My favorite summer activity is going to the lake on the fourth of July. Riding in the boat parade. Then watching the fireworks from the lake. It is so beautiful and relaxing.
Just last weekend I introduced my daughter (5months) to the joy of lying on a blanket under a maple tree watching the light dance between the swaying branches. She loved it. It may be my new favorite summer thing. I love Lisa’s designs too. I am glad to have found your blog!
I love Lisa’s jewelry, too! I have one of her necklaces, and I would LOVE another!!
My favorite summer activity is playing outside with my kids, then cooling down with ice cream or a popsicle.
Leslies last blog post..girls weekend
My favorite activity is going to the beach with my family. Even though we end up with sand everywhere, it’s just nice to have a lazy day playing in the sun.
Erikas last blog post..Happy Birthday to me
I love sleeping in! (that is actually about 8:00 in our house) But I love when my little one wakes up before I get out of bed and snuggles in with me!
Shannon Rojass last blog post..Derby Days
I love to sit in the shade with a good book while my 2 boys close by. There is something so wonderful about the cool breeze blowing my hair and hearing my kids laughter!!
Tricia Reynoldss last blog post..Skin Deep
My favorite part of summer is the freedom. And the strawberries and watermelon and farmer’s markets and street festivals and snuggles under the stars.
I got a Lisa Leonard piece for Christmas and get a compliment every time I wear it.
I’m looking forward to sitting by the pool with a book this summer.
Natalie @ Like I Was Sayings last blog post..Agree or Disagree
My favorite summertime activity is being at the beach with my boys, digging in the sand, building sandcastles, and making smores!
I love to swim with my kids in the summer. We like to “look at each other” underwater with our goggles on! Sometimes it’s hard not to laugh at each other and suck in half of the pool water…….
My favorite thing to do in the summer is go to flea markets and garage sales.
Going to evening concerts in our local park– it’s a big community picnic with kids running around and dancing in the setting summer sun.
I just like sitting outside with a huge glass of iced tea, watching my son & nieces play in the kiddie pool feeling the sun on my face. Its so simple, yet so pleasing.
Hello! Lisa does have wonderful jewelry. I like the simplistic look of many of the pieces. I like to do many things in the summer, but the main one is stay cool! My family and I enjoy my sister’s swimming pool and have small intimate parties there. Please enter me in your delightful drawing. I would love to win the fabulous necklace. Many thanks,Cindi
Time with family and friends…a day at the beach or pool and a nap! Ahh…the days of summer.

Usually I would answer “going to the beach”, but this year, I look forward to seeing my toddler’s little face light up as we go to the zoo, the aquarium, the science museum and all the other places we have yet to explore.
Oops forgot my favorite thing to do in the summer activity, outside with my family.

Every summer, my husband and I set up two queen air matresses and place it in our downstairs living room under the ceiling fan. Our two sons get excited because they get a chance to sleep with us as if they are attending indoor camping site. We started this special tradition activity since they were 2 and 3 (four years in a row.)

Beautiful jewelry. I love going to the beach with my family, but besides that, we love spending time in our backyard. Being out of school with no agenda we can sleep late, then mid morning we set up the slip and slide and sprinkler, they splash around on that, then sometimes we play in the sandbox or jump on the trampoline. or swingset. The simple joy of watching them play together and laugh fills my heart with gladness. Summertime is the absolute best time of the year.

My favorite summertime activity is quite simple – spending day and day of uninterrupted time with my husband and children. At the beginning of summer, we make our Summer List that has a list of all the things we want to be sure to do, including “Go for ice cream” and “Visit the zoo” and “Hang in the hammock”. Then when we ask ourselves “what should we do today?”, we refer to our list and either pick something or do something completely spontaneous.

Favorite summer activity? Spontaneous dinner party. I will be in the errand running process and, upon entering the grocery store, see something so delicious-fresh strawberries, asparagus, crusty baguettes, etc.-that I have to buy extra and send out the “Dinner plans?” text message to friends and family in town. For some reason I hardly ever get turned down.

Summer means taking the kids to Great Brook Farm State Park to visit the dairy farm, feed the goats and sheep, and get their scrumptious ice cream to eat by the pond. Heaven!
My favorite summertime activity is just a simple one. I love to go home to my hometown and spend the weekend with my dad just sitting on his deck and talking. it is so relaxing and reminds me of my younger years.
I love to hang out on the deck with some friends, grilled food, and drinks. The vibe isn’t as relaxed now as before we all have little ones running around. But it still feels like summer!
My favorite thing to do in summer is to take my kids to the lake and watch them explore and have fun.

my favorite summertime activity is to go hiking with my husband and son.
my favorite summertime activity-wine and cheese on the patio in the evening
Summertime fun for me is driving up the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway with my husband to watch the sunset. It’s really high, like airplane high. You can see God from up there.
My favorite summertime activity has yet to come. I am a new “Nonna” to a preemie. She is 4 months old now and only 9 pounds. But she is doing well and slowly growing and I just know that my summertimes are going to be the best ever now that she is part of our family. (I would love to give my daughter a necklace with our miracle Avery Grace’s name on it).
My favorite thing to do is take day-trips – cheap ones and even more $$ than we’d spend normally. They make unforgettable memories and are less exhausting than a long vacation (packing, preparing, coming home to a mess, etc.).
Favorite summertime activity is sitting at the beach watching the waves. I am a simple girl.

Not having school! My husband and I both teach, so summer allows us to slow our pace down for a bit…sleep in and hang out in bed for a while, time at the beach with our family and friends, etc. Overall, just the extra time gives us a chance to enjoy being with the people we love and making new memories.
I love making homemade lemonade with my kids and growing tomatoes and slicing them up for dinner with some fresh mozzarella.
My favorite summer past time is anything that involves my family!! Picnic Backyard BQ’s Birthdays Weddings anything where we are together. I am blessed that both my husband and I have large families.

I know it’s summer when we start making watermelon juice. It’s easy and s-o-o-o good on a hot day. It’s our favorite thing to have around.
Take a cold watermelon and scrub the outside. Slice straight across the belly or end to end, either way opens it up. Then quarter each half and cut the flesh from the rind. Don’t worry about the seeds as they will come out with the pulp.
Slice the flesh into long rectangles (less pieces to run through the juicer) and proceed to juice. There will be a foam that gathers at the top. Carefully scoop it up in a spoon and toss the foam in the sink. I find the bubbles in the foam cause the juice to oxidize faster and not last as long.
One Hempstead watermelon usually fills 2-64 oz juice bottles. Be sure to refrigerate quickly and enjoy. BTW, you can do the same with cantaloupe. The result is a bit thicker juice and very tasty.
memories of swinging so high at my granny’s is the best
Summer for me always means camp- whether going to camp as a child, working summers there as a teen, or leading as camp president as an adult our summers always revolve around Delanco Camp and its ministry.
Ok, this one I thought about for a couple of days..
There are so many summer things I love, and now that it is cold winter here, I think of them often, so I have listed a few..
1. beach hair, you know when you have been swimming in the salty water and your hair gets all messy and sandy and just looks great.
2. sandcastle building..or attempting too anyway
3. swimmers.,seeing my kids in them, all day just about.
4. watermelon dripping down your arms
5. sleeping under the fan in fresh crisp cotton sheets
5 wearing thongs, everywhere.
And probably my favourite, is the sprinkler…the kids, the backyard a beautiful scorching hot summer day, the sprinkler doing its thing and oh the laughs…
Thats it.

FAVORITE SUMMERTIME ACTIVITY:
Taking my camera with me everywhere that I go! My camera loves the outdoors and I love it warm! So when its warm my camera, like my dog, accompanies me most places. I love to look at my photos on my desktop when I type – with my coffee first thing in the morning while I am working. Summertime gives me bright beautiful images and smiles to look at all day. I also love to take advantage of the free prints offers on the net, to give as gifts and/or keep. My camera is my best summertime friend and “activity” too.
