Frogs were also worshipped as fertility symbols in the Americas. In many areas in ancient times the patron goddess of fertility and childbirth was a frog or a toad. Again they were associated with the rains. One Peruvian tribe placed statuettes of frogs on hilltops to call down the rain. To the early Aztecs the great mother goddess was a toad. In representations she often appears in a squatting position, giving birth to the world.
Its time for my first giveaway! I have started making my own jewelry and I will be giving away some of my work from time to time. I have made a beautiful necklace that has 2 charms hanging from a brown leather cord; one frog prince with Swarovski crystal eyes and a tag that reads HOPE. It is similar to the frog necklace I wear while trying to conceive. It is cute and will serve as a daily reminder to keep your head up and never lose hope.
So, entering is easy...leave a comment on any post on my blog and don't forget to mention the giveaway That's it! I would certainly appreciate a link on your site, but it is not required. Why are you still here...leave your comment!
I will pick a winner next Monday, September 14th.

I wore a turtle necklace while trying to conceive because of their symbol of fertility, producing many eggs at once. Must have worked because I got Triplets!
