It’s easy for me to say that I love being a mom, I was one of those kids that hoped to have at least 6-10 babies, with the names picked out and all! But as life happened there was no doubt that I was meant to be Mariyas Mom and hers only! From the moment she was born, it was her and I against the world! I knew that God gave me this little girl for a reason, and building a strong mother-daughter bond has been the most important thing to me as time passes!
We are Marisa and Mariya, most people mix up our names, and even though we have a lot of differences, her and I have grown together in so many ways! One way is we picked up and moved to a whole new state in 2015! We packed all we had into a U-haul and attached to the back of my SUV and drove 1200 miles to San Antonio Texas! Although scary for both of us, it was also the best thing we could have ever done for each other! Our life together has been one big adventure and its been the most amazing time of my life! We do get bumps in the road especially now that shes a teenager but building a mother-daughter bond is key to staying connected!
This year we celebrated Mothers Day with a beautiful piece of jewelry from the oNecklace Mother – Daughter Collection! We picked out the Rose Gold Heart, Mariya absolutely loves it! It was so easy to shop their site and pick out the perfect necklace chain and metal finish from their collection of choices… And we love that it’s all personalized. Since I decided to spell Mariya different than the norm, a name necklace is next on her list! Check out their personalized Mother Day pieces, you can add birthstones, names to any style of necklace, ring or bracelet!
Never the less as they get older, it gets harder to stay connected, communicate and still have a fun and happy relationship! We still go through our hard times, but these are the ways we stay close and build a strong mother-daughter bond!
You’ll love these personalized jewelry pieces, available to customize however you’re feeling- from engraving to gold-plated to silver, oNecklace has stylish and fashionable collections for everyone!
Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful Mothers out there, I hope you had an amazing day with your family!
Those are great tips, especially as the teenage years can be difficult!
To build a strong relationship – a good one with a teenager can be really hard sometimes. Congrats girls!! 🙂
Thank you for this post! Lately I have been wondering how to build my relationship with my daughter, so I found this most helpful!
Awe what a helpful and heartfelt post! Happy Mother’s Day!
Great tips for mothers of teen daughters to build a stronger bond with one another! I am glad that you emphasize affection, because teen girls need to know they are cherished and loved even more than during any part of their lives!
Really cute necklace. I have a really strong bond with my mother. I can tell her everything and we spend a lot of time together.
How sweet!
Great advice!! I’ll be needing this for sure!!
Wow, you and Mariya have such a special relationship. 🙂 I really love those Mother Daughter necklaces you picked out!
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment! I’m so lucky to have a sweet little girl like her!
First of all, those necklaces are so cute!!! I’d seriously love to get one for me and my daughter. As far as building a bond- I could not agree with you more! My little ones aren’t teens yet, but I’d be lieing if I told you I wasn’t worried about those years. As simple as letting them feel like they have control over certain things in their life is definitely liberating and will help them to learn to make the right decisions. Also, seeing that you have trust and are confient in their abilities to make decision is very empowering. I’m sure this is why you and your daughter have a great relationship. You empower her. As far as affection- I have and will always smother my kiddos with affection!! Even during (and way past) those teen years- even if they don’t want it!! LOL
Aww Pam, your so sweet! Thank you for your sweet words! Yes I worried as Mariya was getting older but I think keeping a dialog and talking to her more things whether in the news or something personal it helps with building the trust. I feel very confident that she will come and talk to me if she ever needs to! They grow up so fast!! And I always tell her that I’ll still be giving her hugs and kisses even when shes 25.. HA! Thank you so much for stopping by. HUGS!
