Uberkate Cuff – Giveaway
I have to say even though I have a tendency to pull the total piss out of anything that is “trendy” or a “must have” item such as mason jars used as drinking jars with stripy paper straws, pineapple mantle displays and matching wall decals, not to mention the faux deer head mounted on walls, there is ONE thing that a lot of the uber successful bloggers have that I have been secretly jealous of.
A piece of Uberkate Jewellery.
I would watch my Facebook news feed pop up with random selfies with what was obviously a design by Uberkate (#anythingelseisacopy) slung oh so casually around a bloggers neck and think to myself “Waaaaaahhhhhhh, I really WANT one of those!”
Secretly I googled their webpage and fell in love with all the designs, so fluid, raw and timeless. Think of all the sentiments you could do; a marriage present, engagement present, birth of your child celebration, in memorium of a loved one, the possibilities are endless – the only limit is your imagination. Pure classical harmony on your body.
To own a piece of Uberkate jewellery is to own wearable art; it truly is. It would be simply delectable to have something designed by them.
So I decided to take my jewellery woes into my own hands and I emailed Kate @ Uberkate and asked if perhaps I could run a review/giveaway for her, as well as offer her some complimentary sidebar advertising for them on this page. I wasn’t very hopeful as I would surely be the least politically correct blogger to ever wear one of her gorgeous pieces, but the gorgeous Sonia from Life, Love and Hiccups who is their Social Media manager emailed me back and said Kate would be delighted to work with me. Blow me over with a feather!
I requested a cuff as I already own a forever necklace and pair of earrings which I never take off . I also asked if Kate could engrave it with a sentiment close to my Police Wife heart. What I adore about Uberkate jewellery is that is it oh so personalised. Whilst I love the idea of Kates embossing above, I have a family themed necklace and I really wanted something to represent my commitment to my husband and his job.
After our tumultuous move to our new home town this month, you cannot even begin to fathom my delight at the first piece of mail that I received.
Not sure if it was the end result of a frantic week of moving or the sentiment behind Mr Point Fives new position here at Cue but I actually had tears in my eyes when I saw it. Isn’t it stunning??
It is sterling silver with a solid loop at each end. It came with a black leather adjustable wrist band but I also asked if I could have a blue one as the Thin Blue Line represents the balance between good and evil, more about hubbys job. Kate had generously included that as well for me to use. It is pure quality jewellery and totally the unmistakable as the work of Uberkate.
I felt like a superstar, part of blogging royalty; even if I have to beg and grovel for it, it made me feel precious. I was totally worth it. It’s on my wrist for keeps now. You will have to bury me in it 🙂
So, the good news…..

1998 was my best year because I met my soulmate who after 15 years was finally accepted into the WA police academy.
2008, a year oh so great
Id had my first son
And married my mate
A whirlwind year
I hold it so dear.
Happy tear.
2013
My 30th year bought an acceptance of being a part time parent & new love after 4 years of “bankers”
every year that I spend with my husband and children are my best years
So many memories to remember and sooo many more memories to make
every year that I spend with my husband and children are my best years
So many memories to remember and many more to make
I don’t know if I can pick just one year, 2009 was a crappy year that turned out to be pretty awesome when my baby was born sick but not as bad as was predicted, and 2011 which also had ups and downs with number 1 having surgery but the birth of our second child so pretty awesome too.
I have 2 favourite years. 2009 and 2011 the years my babies were born. They help me get through the hard times 🙂
That would have to be 2012 🙂
we found out we were pregnant with our first child the day after my hubby graduated from the Victorian Police Academy.
And then we got transferred to a town that was closer to both our families (3.5hrs)
And we brought our first home.
such a fun filled year!
And our son was born in January 2013 🙂
‘2012’
hubby graduated from vicpol
next day found out we’re pregnant!
transferred closer to our families
brought our first home
then baby in January ’13’
1999 was my best year. First year of university, and the year I began to learn who I was separate to a parent or partner.
2004 – in Phuket for Christmas & we survived the Boxing Day tsunami!
Congratulations Elaine – you have won the Uber ID Cuff 🙂

CONGRATULATIONS.

Thank you so much! I’m absolutely thrilled!,

I suspect it’s coming up: in 2015, my love becomes a NSW Constable, we’re becoming homeowners and spouses – and getting a puppy called Sarge!
Mine would be 2007, my son and I met my hubby who was already a NSW cop. We met at an outback charity trip he was running in the October. We spent New Year’s Eve together and talked about getting married and having babies together. We got married in 2012, have 2 babies together & yep, some days all you have, is his scent on the pillow.
The year I turned 10. Double figures is a big deal. Also the year I started to take on more responsibility & learned the art of negotiation like a pro.
1994 – single mum at 18 – made me stronger but softer and who I am today!

2011 was my best year, it was the year I became I mum for the first time. That moment, I felt love like never before. Instant, unconditional, undying.
Every year holds precious memories, past years, this year and future years.
The glue binding the memories in my heart is family, values, love and FUN……
1993: I finished two university courses and topped the class and then landed my first career job within my final week of uni! Whoosh!

1997 – chance early diagnosis of thyroid cancer when my third child was just 15 months – re-learned what is important. And what is not!
2013 – Moved into new home on same day dad had brain tumours removed. He called after his successful operation to bless our new home 🙂
My best year besides the births of my four beautiful kids, is 2008 when I married my best friend!
Last year was a very bumpy ride but good news shone through to make it the best one in the end. My 10 year old daughter had a rather large egg shaped raised “bump” on her left tibia leg. She did have a little stack on the scooter, but unrelated the bump didn’t go away – after scans and lengthy diagnosis we were told she had a rare bone tumor disease called jaffe campanacci something in fact she was born with and will always have. You cant digest this kind of news for your child. She had the tumor removed after extensive bone surgery at RPA – but thankfully blessed we were told its benign not cancerous at this stage after testing. For us after so much worry and recovery hearing this news was the best ever to top off a turbulent year. I admire her strength and positivity xxx
The year I turned 13… I met my BFF, my first boyfriend & started the halcyon days of my teenage years.
2000 was our best year.
New Millenium. Got married. Had our 1st baby and bought our own home.
The beginning of our own little family.
2001. Was the year that held the briefest unforgettable life changing moment. I became born again..life was never to be the same again.
The year my son was born 2008 all my dreams came true the moment he was born and he will always be my everything.
2011 – the year I married my husband, and life begun.
1988- our eyes met over a crowded bus, the air was so electric. 20 yrs married since childhood sweethearts and still joined at the hip.
2012 – Our Pup Lillie chose my autistic son as her special human. They’re inseparable! We are blessed to have her dancing in our lives.
2004 I married the love of my life after he survived an annuerism and six week coma the year before. Love you Jacob xo
1974 – so much has happened in my 40 years that it’s hard to choose just one best year!!
Every year is my best year yet. Even though the past three years have been the toughest I’ve ever had, they’ve also been the most rewarding and adventurous years of my life, when I moved to NYC while pregnant, and raised a toddler with my husband in a new country. Each year was so hard but was equally full of experiences I wouldn’t trade for anything. This year that is about to end has been even tougher, with the near death of my father bringing us back to Australia for the foreseeable future – another huge challenge I wasn’t prepared for, or had planned for, and yet the rewards of moving back to family and friends have outweighed the hardship and again made this year filled with love and rewarding experiences. Every year we get to spend another year with our love ones and enjoying life to the fullest is the best year yet.

2014 has been my best year so far! Turned 40, overseas trip to China and Thailand (40th in Phuket) then another trip with hubby to the UK! Rekindled our relationship somewhat and made me appreciate home and our 2 kiddos. Now to begin on ‘project me’ and lose some kg’s!
Marriage, kids of course precious times. It all happened very early for me. So 2006 I had some FUN, mischievous experiences worthy of reminiscing 😉
My best year followed my worst year. In 1993, I was pregnant with twins and came very close to losing both, One darling daughter survived and was born in July 1994. Due to complications she remains an only child and Is the light of my life.
The best year
T’was twice
’98 and ‘99
The best in life
Sons of mine
Blossoming forth
They grow fast
Family forever
Love that lasts.
2010 was my best year as it was the year my family was complete.
I could say 2011 was the best year cause we met ? Is that to sappy ?
2012, the last year I got to spend with my mum. I’m glad she got to meet my 5th baby and spend 11 months with her.
This year was my best year,
My dream came true!
My son who is 10 years old and has Austism started to read!
2000 it would have to be,
Just finished uni-young and carefree!
A year of travel- snow and sun,
No worries, just fun, fun, fun!
Best year… 2007 and 2011… The years my babies were born
2014 our year has been tough but coming to the end I still have a happy and somewhat healthy family and have made many memories
My best year was 5 years ago.
I was 28 – I had lost 15kg, I got married, traveled overseas and bought my first house!

This year has been pretty good after a few lousy ones. My husband has incurable cancer but has exceeded doctors’ expectations, so we are thankful!
My favourite year?
Simply defined…
As the year,
Hubby became mine!
2011.
And two kids down.
I simply ADORE…
That crazy clown!
2014! I had my second son, completed our family, my husband lost his job, but we had more time together and he got a better one, our little family is more on track than ever 🙂 fingers crossed it stays that way
2014 because it has taught me more about strength, love, friendship and self belief than I ever thought possible. It’s been hard but worth it.
Each new year becomes my favourite, full of possibilities and experiences. I’m thankful for each year that comes around to live to the fullest!
Best year of my life was 2005 when I became a Mum for the first time
