I&#8217;ve seen teething necklaces before, but they&#8217;re usually at least $40-50+ and I wasn&#8217;t convinced that it would be something our little miss would even want to nom on.<\/p>\n<p>Since first trying out one of Jessica&#8217;s necklaces, I&#8217;ve bought more so that I can wear them with different outfits, depending on the colour and style I want.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-a-lga.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-ash3\/999057_217175965120296_1538229791_n.png\" width=\"346\" height=\"195\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m talking about\u00a0<a title=\"Mere &amp; Bebe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/merebebenl?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">M\u00e8re &amp; b\u00e9b\u00e9 teething pearls<\/a>. Jessica&#8217;s products are make with great care and each necklace can be customized based on what colour and size of pearls you want to have.<\/p>\n<p>The teething beads are food grade silicon beads. They&#8217;re made from the same material as pacifiers. There&#8217;s also a non-toxic safety break away clasp (that my little miss has managed to force it to pop open, but in turn keeping her safe and me not feeling like she&#8217;s hanging me by a noose). The nylon cording is also very strong, but if you&#8217;re still concerned about beads breaking off, each pearl has a knot on each side of the cord.<\/p>\n<p>These necklaces are definitely going on my list of things to buy a new mom. It&#8217;s a great baby shower gift that&#8217;s for both mommy and baby.<\/p>\n<p>Below are a few different combinations and styles you can have (but really, there are lots of options depending on what you want).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/virginiamiddleton.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Blue-necklace.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1912\" alt=\"Blue necklace\" src=\"http:\/\/virginiamiddleton.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Blue-necklace-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1911 alignleft\" alt=\"Black and red necklace\" src=\"http:\/\/virginiamiddleton.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Black-and-red-necklace-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1913 alignleft\" alt=\"Green necklace\" src=\"http:\/\/virginiamiddleton.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Green-necklace-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As mentioned in my previous post, today is a double update with a common theme.
