WHEN SHE ISN’T MAKING conference calls, scheduling nap time, or meeting with advisory boards, the Millennial Mama does her best to make time for herself, which includes dressing up in beautiful yet affordable jewelry. But her everyday jewelry won’t be at risk of being caught on a delicate blankie, nor will it scratch the most precious of runny noses.
