Three years ago, The Always Busy Mama officially became a business. But the journey that led here began nearly six years ago, during one of the most uncertain seasons of my life.
Like so many people, the pandemic changed the course of my life in ways I never expected.
Not long after becoming a mom, I found myself navigating postpartum depression while the world around us slowed down. During that season, my therapist encouraged me to find something creative, something that was just for me. What started as a simple outlet at my kitchen table slowly became something much bigger.
Jewelry gave me a way to create when I felt like I had lost a part of myself. It helped me heal. It helped me reconnect with who I was beyond being a mom, a wife, and everything else life asked me to be.
For several years, I simply created because I loved it.
Then, on July 5, 2023, I officially launched The Always Busy Mama.
What I never could have imagined was how many women would connect with the heart behind this brand.
Over the last three years, I’ve had the privilege of creating jewelry to celebrate new babies, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, new careers, personal victories, and all of the beautiful moments in between.
At the heart of it all has always been one collection.
The Moments & Milestones Collection.
It was the very first collection I designed, and in many ways, it still represents everything The Always Busy Mama stands for today: meaningful jewelry created to celebrate your story.
As we celebrate our third business anniversary, it only felt right to celebrate by expanding the collection that started it all.
A Collection That Has Grown Alongside You
Over the past three years, one thing has become abundantly clear.
You don’t just wear your jewelry.
You live in it.
You wear your children’s birthstones every day. You celebrate milestones with gemstone bracelets and necklaces. You build collections that grow alongside your family, your memories, and your life.
You’ve also shared your ideas with me.
You wanted more ways to wear the gemstones you already love.
So I listened.
Introducing Full Gemstone Necklaces
One of the newest additions to the Moments & Milestones Collection is something I’ve been dreaming about for a long time: full gemstone necklaces.
Available in both classic round gemstones and a beautifully modern cube-cut gemstone design, these necklaces allow the natural beauty of each gemstone to take center stage.
Each necklace is handcrafted using genuine AA and AAA-quality gemstones and finished with sterling silver or 14k gold-filled findings. Whether you choose your birthstone, your child’s birthstone, or simply a gemstone that speaks to you, these necklaces were designed to become everyday favorites.
They’re elegant enough to wear on their own, yet simple enough to layer with the meaningful pieces you’ve already collected.
The Stretch Bracelets You Love… Now with a Clasp
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know how much everyone loves our gemstone stretch bracelets.
They’re comfortable. They’re easy to wear. They’re designed for everyday life.
But, I’ve also heard from many customers who wanted that same timeless gemstone look with a more traditional clasp.
I’m so excited to finally offer it.
Our beloved gemstone bracelets are now available as beaded clasp bracelets, giving you another beautiful option depending on your personal style. They offer the same meaningful gemstones and everyday versatility, with an elevated look that pairs beautifully with watches, permanent jewelry, or other bracelets in your collection.
It’s another way to tell your story—just in a style that feels right for you.
Why This Launch Means So Much
This launch isn’t just about introducing new products.
It’s about celebrating how far we’ve come together.
Nearly six years ago, I was simply trying to rediscover a small piece of myself through creativity.
Today, I have the privilege of creating jewelry that becomes part of your biggest moments.
I’ve watched women purchase birthstones to celebrate new babies.
I’ve helped families commemorate anniversaries and graduations.
I’ve seen mothers wear their children’s birthstones close to their hearts.
I’ve had customers tell me they never take their jewelry off because it reminds them of someone they love, a milestone they’ve celebrated, or a season they’ll never forget.
Those stories are why I continue to create.
Every new piece begins with one question:
“Will this help someone celebrate their story?”
If the answer is yes, it’s worth making.
Looking Ahead
While we’re celebrating three years as a business, this collection represents nearly six years of learning, designing, growing, and discovering what meaningful jewelry truly means—not just to me, but to the incredible community that has grown alongside this brand.
The Moments & Milestones Collection has grown from a handful of meaningful designs into an entire collection celebrating birthdays, milestones, motherhood, connection, and everyday life.
And now, with full gemstone necklaces available in both round and cube-cut gemstones, along with our new gemstone clasp bracelets, there are even more ways to carry your story with you every day.
To every customer who has trusted me with your milestones…
To every woman who has shared your story…
To everyone who has supported this little business from the beginning…
Thank you.
Whether you’ve been here since the kitchen table days, the farmers markets, my first website launch, or you just discovered The Always Busy Mama this week, you’ve become part of this story.
Your support has allowed this dream to grow into something I never imagined possible, and I don’t take that for granted.
Here’s to three incredible years as a business, nearly six years of this journey, and all of the moments and milestones still waiting to be celebrated.
