May 12, 2012 - 11:58 am - Set firm and gracious boundaries; then your children will know what they can and cannot do and they will respect you, followed by love and affection. I have seen this time and time again- no matter how difficult it might be at first, children will respond to your rules if you show them it's for their own good and because you love them more than life itself. Happy Mother's Day! (kaitlin.mcduffie@gmail.com)
May 12, 2012 - 12:04 pm - Your straps are amazing! Hope I win! Okay, my *best* motherly advice? Forgive yourself. You won't do it perfectly but as long as you do your best and show your child(ren) lots of love then you're doing it exactly right. Happy Mother's Day!
May 12, 2012 - 12:14 pm - I believe the best motherly advice I can give is to encourage your children to be themselves and embrace all of their unique traits. My daughters light up when they see how proud I am of them, even if it is just a skribble drawing ;) Happy Mother's Day Vania & Christine<3!!
May 12, 2012 - 12:15 pm - Hello Bloom Theory! I recently stumbled across your custom made camera straps and it was instant love! I am not a mother, but I am very close with my mom and she has given me a lot of advice for certain situations. As a young adult, I'm still trying to find my way and sometimes I come across a rough patch. She told me that as you get older, you learn how to pick and choose your battles more wisely and instead of focusing my energy on something or someone else, I should focus on myself.
May 12, 2012 - 12:33 pm - Live, love and "click". Capture every moment you can.
May 12, 2012 - 12:56 pm - I'm a new mom so I definitely don't know much about being a mother, but the best advice I can think to give is to raise your children in Christ. So many families are being torn apart even in christian families because the Lord is being put aside in homes. Fight for your children's salvation in this world that's trying to tear them down... and most of all you can never say I LOVE YOU enough. :) Thanks for your giveaway!! oh and I love your camera straps... soooo cute :)
May 12, 2012 - 1:00 pm - My best motherly advice would be to show your children love in a way that they understand by figuring out their love language whether it be showing love with affection, a giving heart, spending time with them or words of affirmation. Being able to communicate love with your child in a way that they understand & feel loved is so important and wonderful :) Happy Mother's Day! xoxo
May 12, 2012 - 1:05 pm - Hi! My best motherly advice is don't listen to other mothers! Not as mean as it sounds, every baby is different and your gut is usually right about your own child.
May 12, 2012 - 1:06 pm - Listen to all the little silly things that they say and be interested. And take the time to answer all of their crazy little questions!
May 12, 2012 - 1:25 pm - Spend lots of time cuddling and playing with your little ones! Newborn moments are so precious and fleeting until they become busy little humans. I'm so thankful I can spend my days soaking up each little milestone with my little guy. I wouldn't trade that for the world! (melissaBphoto@gmail.com)
May 12, 2012 - 1:43 pm - wow, amazing...
May 12, 2012 - 1:46 pm - You girls just took photography & fashion to a whole other level! Okay, I've only been a mother for 5 months, but my advice would be to love, enjoy, and embrace each milestone, joy and even the struggle, they all pass to quickly! And most of all shower your child with unconditional love and support at every stage! Would LOVE to win this strap! I've shared it on my page, thank you!!!
May 12, 2012 - 2:11 pm - Let your kids be themselves and don't fault them for it. I was always loud as a child and got in trouble for it. My daughter is turning out the same way and with my hubby's side of the family she is the "loud one". I let her be herself and if that means she is loud...so be it.
May 12, 2012 - 2:24 pm - Gorgeous straps! Best motherly advice is to don't forget to take care of yourself while you are taking care of your little ones. Thanks for the opportunity. tami @ tamiwilsonphotography.com
May 12, 2012 - 2:50 pm - Hi Simply Bloom, as a mother and a photographer my best advice is to occasionally throw all the rules out the window and photograph those crazy, fun, naughty moments with your family. They stir the best emotions and will last forever even when they grow up!
May 12, 2012 - 2:51 pm - Hallo, bin zwar aus Deutschland aber probiere mein Glück, sowas geniales wird es hier ja noch lange nicht geben. Ich mag die ganzen bunten verzierungen für die Kamerastraps ja garnicht, aber das hier ist genau mein Ding. Ich würde mich ja riesig freuen wenn ich bei Euch gewinne, als stolze zweifach Mutti :-). Mein Rat an alle Mütter, genießt die Zeit mit Euren Kindern in vollen Zügen, keiner gibt Euch diese Zeit zurück und sie ist so schnell um, auch wenn es Euch NÄchte kostet, irgendwann ist es vorbei und Ihr werdet es vermißen! LG Gaby info@yourphoto.de http://www.facebook.com/www.yourphoto.de
May 12, 2012 - 2:52 pm - I freaking LOVE these straps! This is completely random, and not the nurturing advice I imagine you'll be getting, but the best advice my mother ever gave me was when I started driving, which is: "Drive like everyone else on the road is about to do something incredibly stupid." That's saved my ass from ever being in an accident!
May 12, 2012 - 3:26 pm - Never take anything for granted, tomorrow isn't promised, so at the end of every day make sure that you kids know that you love them more then anything else in this world. They are Gods most precious gifts to you!
May 12, 2012 - 3:46 pm - I'm sorry for the comment above my email is caligrl_777@yahoo.com
May 12, 2012 - 4:01 pm - answer every question of your child ( if you don't know..look it up together ) LOVE
May 12, 2012 - 4:33 pm - I haven't been a mom very long, but my advice would be to put down the phone and get off the computer for awhile and get with your kid and spend special time with them daily. This is what I told my hubby I wanted for Mother's Day ;) leahpaynephoto@yahoo.com
May 12, 2012 - 5:05 pm - Girls, your straps are absoultely gorgeous- each and every one of them, what a great way to combine passion for fashion and photography! Congrats on the new line of product and thank you for being an inspiration to all of us!!! Best advice: Spend time with your children as much as you can while they are little and make sure the best and strongest influence in their life is you. They need boundaries, they feel safe and protected within them. Vania, can't wait to find out what you are having!♥
May 12, 2012 - 8:35 pm - Kiss them as much as you can! ...before they think it's Yucky!
May 12, 2012 - 10:07 pm - Just love on them, every chance you get. Our young people are growing up in a world with so many challenges that we did not face like cyber bullying and heightened/unhealthy influences in the media... Our love and guidance is crucial to make sure they have the confidence and integrity to rise above all of negativity coming at them. Love y'all and your straps. I hope I win one!! :)
May 13, 2012 - 4:11 am - Hi! First off I LOVE your work and I'm swooning over EVERY strap. I'm a new Momma (11 week old baby boy) so I don't have too much motherly advice yet. But I think the best advice is to love your child with everything you have and tell them everyday. Hope I win- this would be a great 1st Mother's Day gift! (Parke062@gmail.com)
May 13, 2012 - 8:35 am - Hey Vania and Christine! I am so happy for you guys for the addition of this new artistic venture; the straps are so gorgeous (I really would love one)! I have not been a mom for long.. but, I can share what I believe is the most important thing that I have learned in the past 18 months: choose your priorities. As a new mom, I was extremely drained with trying to keep up with laundry, dishes, cleaning the house, errands, and taking care of Kennedy. It really threw me into a sort of depression because I felt like I was failing at everything! One day, I sat down and thought about what was truly the most important thing on my list and it was, not surprisingly, my daughter. So, I told myself that as long as she was safe and happy, that was all that mattered. If other things on that list got finished in a timely mannaer, that was great but I wouldn't drive myself crazy about it. My house is a little messier and sometimes only one or two errands a day acctually get done, and I still have to remind myself occasionally that that is ok. Nothing matters in the world more than the bond between you and your baby.. if you have to choose between doing a load of laundry and reading your baby a bedtime story - choose the bedtime story. The rest will sort itself out :)
May 13, 2012 - 2:50 pm - If you want your kids to be a blessing to you and others you have to instruct them how! Kids need boundaries and routines and consistency. And more than anything, always spend time every day snuggling, cuddling, tickling and laughing with your sweet one :) Oh, and don't forget to tell them about Jesus!
May 13, 2012 - 2:57 pm - i am not a mother yet (just got engaged though!) but i have lots of little neices and nephews. my best "motherly" advice is sometimes it's ok to spoil them rotten. the cute little munchkins deserve extra candy from time to time. :) fingers crossed that i'm picked! i just got a new nikon and would loveee the sequin strap.
May 13, 2012 - 3:43 pm - Love those babies! Take many photos & hoard those memories!
May 13, 2012 - 6:51 pm - Never be to prideful to apologize when you're wrong.
May 13, 2012 - 7:48 pm - Happy Mother's Day! The best advice I received was to not sweat the small stuff and to enjoy each and everyday, becauase they grow so fast.
May 14, 2012 - 6:25 am - discipline with LOVE. always meet their emotional needs of cuddles and love. if still 0-1 age, the book: "Save our Sleep" saves my life! oh my lord! best book ever!
May 14, 2012 - 9:11 am - Treasure every moment because it goes by in the blink of an eye!
May 14, 2012 - 9:48 am - Children want nothing more than to be loved - so love them fully & completely everyday! (danaeason@gmail.com)
May 14, 2012 - 10:18 am - Even though I don't have children, the best advice I have, I heard from a mother of three. She said that protecting your child's innocence would keep them younger longer. She explained it to them, by saying, as an adult you have moments that you aren't fun anymore, and that's where your innocence is lost, but when mommy is fun that's where bit of pieces of her childishness remains. so precious. link shared here: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=27411196
May 14, 2012 - 10:47 am - My advice is to laugh as much as possible, spend as much time as you can cuddling and playing with your little ones, and try to stay calm. :)
May 14, 2012 - 10:51 am - I think these cameras are awesome I would love to win this I am a mommy and it's the most rewarding thing God Ever gave me very proud of that title!!!!
May 14, 2012 - 11:14 am - Enjoy every little stage while it happens, because it doesn't last very long at all. So despite long sleepless nights, soak up those itty bitty newborn moments. When you're at your wits end with your toddler, think about all the adorable ways they pronounce all the new words they're trying to say. Childhood is simply amazing.
May 14, 2012 - 2:49 pm - I love your straps, they are gorgeous! The best advice is to cherish every single day with your little ones. They grow up so quickly and I think it's important to spend as much time as you can with them. You'll regret it, if you don't.
May 14, 2012 - 6:16 pm - Hi you gorgeous girls at Simply Bloom!

May 14, 2012 - 8:39 pm - You can never take too many photos You can never give too many hugs You will always need more time and you can never love too much!
