*I received a free wooden watch from JORD in exchange for writing this post on my blog.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, right? Of course, it is. It’s crazy that I am talking time, me, the lady who has consistently struggled with it lately. There are days where I feel like all I do is stare at the time ticking by as I scurry to hold on tight. It is all passing by too fast. However, as much as I am continually gobsmacked at how fast time is slippin’, slippin’ into the future, I am wildly excited for this time of year, even if it came faster than I was ready for.

Christmas Time is Here Happiness and Cheer
Bring on the cheer, the holiday magic, the twinkly lights, all the Christmas music, latkes, and the childhood glee that breathes life back into me. I know this time of year can be stressful, but I NEED the cheer right now, the bright lights… the jubilant bliss! Things have been murky lately, well, almost all of 2017, actually. And for that reason, I welcome this season with open arms.
Do you follow me on Instagram? If you are not, chop, chop, get to it. Did you see my Instagram story where I decorated my daughter’s room for her birthday? My youngest daughter is my very own real-life Christmas elf. She loves all things Christmas, so each year I decorate her room Christmassy. This year the task of being mama elf garnered an immense feeling of hope for more cheery times. I’m pumped for it all. I’ve already purchased a few things for our Christmas countdown and I am ready to talk holiday gifts and gift guides!! I hope you’re ready too.
Let’s Rewind the Hands of Time to that Time When I Talked about Our Move and JORD
This summer I moved from Washington (state) to Illinois. Before I moved I announced the move on my blog and I shared the tradition my husband and I have with every new job or promotion. If you missed the post about our move and our watch tradition you can check it out here. What you missed in that post: my husband got a new job within his company and to celebrate my friends at JORD helped us keep our watch tradition. My husband received a stunning JORD Dover Koa & Black Wood Watch.
Stunning, right? My husband is absolutely in love with his watch. Wherever he goes (because sometimes his new job takes him places) he gets tons of compliments and no lie people will ask to take a picture of his watch.
It’s Gifting Time and JORD Makes the Top of the Good List
Because his watch is such a big hit with him, with strangers, with ME- JORD makes my list for one of the best gifts for him. 🙂 There’s a gift guide coming, but I thought JORD needed a little extra love. Besides the beauty of this watch, we love that the watch is versatile my husband is able to wear his watch with jeans and tees or suites and ties. The unique wood makes it a conversation piece because not many people own wood watches, but they should, because hello, look at this beauty.
This is my husband’s new baby, his Conway Kosso and Midnight Blue JORD wooden watch.It’s absolutely gorgeous!
A little more about the Conway Kosso and Midnight Blue Jord Chronograph Watch:
- sapphire crystal glass
- luminescent hands
- deployment buckle with push buttons
- screw-down crown
- case width: 42mm
- case thickness: 12mm
- lug ends: 49mm
- band thickness: 20mm
- band length: 161mm
- bonus: cleaning can be done with lemon or orange oil extract
Even the packaging is perfection.
I hope to build my husband a collection of these wonderful pieces. There is a mega sale going on right now, so who knows….
I have to say I’m kind of jealous of my babe. But hey, JORD makes wood watches for women too! 😉
Don’t miss out on the BLACK FRIDAY SECRET DEALS!!! This sale won’t last long- ends 11/27

December 3, 2017 at 7:29 pmThey do make gorgeous watches. I like that you moved about half a country closer to me — still not close enough, though 😉 (BTW, can you believe it’s been nearly a year since our amazing in-person hangout? We need to make that happen again!)
