Every day, due to this poor economy pet owners are having to make the heart wrenching decision to surrender their pets to shelters around the country. As a result, already crowded animal shelters must cope with an increase in occupancy and a decrease in financial donations to support these animals.

To benefit these shelters and the animals they help, maurices has partnered with the ASPCA to create Rescues & Runways. More than 730 maurices stores across the country will each host their own Rescues & Runways fashion show featuring four-legged, furry friends from local animal shelters in the month of September. In addition to the fashion show, all maurices stores will be accepting pet food and supply donations in their stores in September to benefit their local animal shelter partner. Finally, beginning mid-September, all stores will be selling an exclusive, limited edition Friends for Life pet charm that celebrates the special bond people have with their pets. The charms will cost $5 with $2.50 of each sale going to the ASPCA to help support their national shelter outreach program.

Rescues & Runways in association with the ASPCA has found the perfect affordable piece of jewelry for showing your furbaby just how dedicated you are to them while also supporting those less fortunate animals who are still looking for lifelong family. Support this program by visiting your local maurices to make your donation, adopting a friend for life from your nearby shelter, and finding out more about Rescues & Runways on their site. Follow maurices on Facebook for further updates on this project and more.

Every nursing mother knows that at a certain age breastfed babies get distracted. They want to see what's going on in the world around them and settling down to nurse may not always be their first priority. Often times once they are prepared to nurse, they will pull hair, pinch skin, or like my daughter try to grab the other boob... they just can't seem to figure out what to do with those little hands. Realizing her own daughter was able to slow down and focus long enough for a quality session only when twiddling her jewelry inspired momma Raelynn to create not only nursing necklaces to keep baby occupied long enough to become fully nourished, but also design beautiful pieces of jewelry mom would want to wear long after baby weaned. Thus the Mommy Necklaces was born.

All the Mommy Necklace™ beads are made of high-quality acrylics that are tested for both lead and phthalates. The necklaces are strung on an extra sturdy cording that is guaranteed from breakage and come secured with a break-away safety closure. Mommy Necklaces™ are the real deal and offer a “zero-to-three” guarantee which replaces, repairs, or cleans up any Mommy Necklace™ in need of some TLC for three years from purchase. A small investment with a big reward - function, style, safety, and three-year guarantee!

The collections each include a Dangling Donut designs which is not only extremely trendy but amazingly functional. Created long enough to be worn in eye-sight of baby and twiddled upon while nursing, the Dangling Donut line comes with a loose donut pendant that breastfeeding babies love to grasp and twiddle. The donut pendant gently skims the lower beads of the necklace and results in a wonderful rattling noise when moved. The smooth finishes on the beads are safe and delightful to touch. The collections are also available in Locked Donut, Trendy Teardrops, and Mod Flat Rock collections so that each mother can order a pendant that fits both her and her baby’s style. The variety of styles also allows mothers to change up their wardrobe while wearing a complimentary Mommy Necklace™!
