Mommy's Lil Helper: Added Security

When a dog is lost, neighbors and strangers can help him find his way home if he's wearing a collar with updated tags. Why not do the same for kids? For wee ones who wonder off at the mall or find themselves stranded on a field trip, an identification tag may be just what youngsters need.

Etsy's Kennebug Boutique sells a sterling silver disc set that includes one with "Mommy" or "Call Mommy" engraved on it and a second one with mom's phone number hand stamped in the charm. For $10, you can fix the shiny do–dad on a chain necklace or a charm bracelet. For more conspicuous places, tie it onto a shoelace or attach it to a zipper on a backpack. Your child will feel better knowing mommy is just a phone call away.

Some moms carry brag books while others have baby's name and birthday tattooed on their bods. For trendsetting moms like Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie, and Courteney Cox, a simple pendant necklace is what they wear to remind them of their lil love.

Not on the cheap, these Jennifer Meyer necklaces are crafted from 18K gold- and diamond-encrusted letters. At $1,250 a pop, the eye candy would have most new mums seeing stars.

Lil Tip: Hanging Jewelry Organizer

For every thing, there's a bit of bling. At least that's the case when it comes to my daughter's wardrobe. She has her own sense of style and doesn't think most outfits are complete until she slips on a necklace, bracelet or ring. I'm all for her fashion independence, but the jewels end up all over the house. A Hello Kitty ring or strand of paste pearls here, a gold baby bracelet or clip-on earring there.
