One of my favorite things to do in New York City a One of my favorite things to do in New York City and it only costs $6! But seriously, the @theseaglasscarousel in Battery Park is a downtown Manhattan staple and one that not everyone knows about. Definitely add this to your NYC itinerary.
Have you heard about the rooftop lounge in Powell Have you heard about the rooftop lounge in Powell  everyone keeps talking about? We had date night at the new @lanirooftop the other night (our second time there) and it did not disappoint. My only regret is that we didn’t also order the Caesar salad because it’s my favorite, but we absolutely did not have room to order anything else. The Harissa Roast Cauliflower was our favorite this time, but there was not a bad bite to be found. And if you’re looking for a NA beverage, they have a great list of refreshers or you can ask the bartender to make you something off menu. Speaking of the bartenders, they’re fantastic and I highly recommend sitting at the bar if you want a different vibe or it’s not patio weather outside. Save this one for your next Columbus night out! @visitdelohio @visit_powell @experiencecolumbus #columbusohio #cbusfoodscene #cbusfoodbloggers #lanirooftop #delawareohio
Gates open an hour and a half early? Great - we’ Gates open an hour and a half early? Great - we’ll be there an hour before that. All of our favorite reasons why you should get to an MLB game early. Are you getting in line early too or do you slip in after the first pitch? #baseball #mlb #nymets #letsgomets #newyorkcity
Finally got around to checking out @hulihulidownto Finally got around to checking out @hulihulidowntown’s new location in Columbus. It’s much smaller than their Powell location, but the same vibes and great food and drinks are there. Also there’s free parking after 5:30!I ordered the Aloha Aina and their tiki fries (the tiki fries are a must order every time)#columbus #columbusrestaurants #cbusfoodscene #cbusfoodbloggers #columbusohio @experiencecolumbus

Need an easy back-to-school meal prep hack? #ad Th Need an easy back-to-school meal prep hack? #ad These @idahoanfoods mashed potato cups are the perfect thing. Prep all your toppings ahead of time, then when you’re in need of a quick dinner, let the kids choose their favorite mashed potato flavor and top to their hearts’ desire. Our current obsession is adding chicken nuggets, black beans, corn, shredded cheddar and bbq sauce for a little southwestern loaded potato bowl. But the possibilities are endless and with everyone building their own, they can make it exactly how they want it. These Idahoan mashed potato cups are incredibly convenient and are ready to eat in just minutes. Stock up at your local grocery store! #idahoanfoods #idahoan #easydinnerideas #mealprep
This trip felt incredibly important. My grandmothe This trip felt incredibly important. My grandmother turned 104 this past weekend, her sister turning 100 not too long ago, and the loss of their brother and sister-in-law (both over 100) earlier this year. I hope we have them both for years to come, but I’m also so grateful that my kids have had the chance to build memories with them. It’s easy to think there will always be another visit, but this weekend was a reminder to soak up every moment you can and to always, always be willing to listen to that one story for the millionth time because they love sharing it.
How is it that just two years ago we were sitting How is it that just two years ago we were sitting at one of our favorite places telling the kids our family was about to grow by one more, and then this weekend that same little girl was sitting at the table stealing bites of everyone’s cake and ice cream? Time is a thief. #motherhood #motherhoodthroughinstagram #momoffour #timeflies #newyorkcity

JORD Wood Watch Review+ Giveaway

Jamie says that one of my biggest love languages is gifts. That doesn’t mean that I need grand, expensive gifts lavished upon me for every special occasion or just because. But I do place great value on gifts given to me that are unique, interesting, meaningful and/or require some significant thought from the gift giver. This is also how I like to give gifts. In fact, a lot of times the gifts I give other people mean more to me than the ones I receive.

So what happens when you’re married to a man who’s a self-proclaimed minimalist who needs (or wants for) nothing? Let me tell you…I have the hardest time buying gifts for my husband for any and all occasions. This year, though, I think I’ve found the perfect thing: a JORD wood watch.

jord-frankie-dark-sandalwood-and-smoke-watch-5

Jamie’s wearing the Frankie watch in dark sandalwood and smoke. We both really liked the more classic, minimalist look and darker wood color to this watch. It’s also available in zebrawood, ebony and even purpleheart for those that like a little more color. It really suits Jamie, worn with a simple tee shirt and a pair of jeans, but I imagine it will also look sleek with a dress shirt and tie on our next date night. To be completely honest, Jamie doesn’t consider himself to be in-the-know on the latest style trends. He does, however, like my taste in style and doesn’t mind whenever I give his closet a little upgrade.

We were also able to have the watch custom-sized to Jamie’s wrist when we ordered it. We received the extra links in the package, so if at any point it needs to be resized, we can take it to a nearby jeweler to have it done. Speaking of the packaging, JORD knows how to create an experience. Jamie’s watch arrived in a stunning wood box and wrapped around a tweed pillow. . It was hard for me to remove the watch because I couldn’t stop admiring how amazing it looked in its packaging.

JORD has both men’s and women’s watches (click on the links to check out all the styles). They’re beautifully-made, hand-crafted timepieces. These unique wooden watches match my love for modern style with Jamie’s desire for simplicity. Sustainability and ethically-sourced materials are two things that are important to me when choosing items to purchase. I love that you can see on the JORD website where the materials for your watch were sourced from. I’m actually planning on adding a cool JORD wood watch to my own Christmas list this year.

Now for the GIVEAWAY! I’m so excited to tell you that I’ve teamed up with JORD watches to give one winner a $75 e-gift code to put towards the watch of his or her choice! And if you’re not generally super lucky (like me, because I rarely win anything), you’ll still want to enter. ALL entrants will get a $20 e-gift code automatically e-mailed to you just for entering. So if you’re adding a JORD watch to your Christmas list this year, you can save a little bit on it too! The e-gift codes expire 2/28/17, in case you’re a planner like me and are already thinking ahead to Valentine’s day. Entering is super easy – just click on the link below!

    I love the way this watch looks! Maybe one day, but we gifted ourselves fitness tracker watches last Christmas so it seems wasteful to have another. I’ll have to keep this in mind though…

Hi there

Life has an interesting way of writing itself, whether it's the story you intended all along or a crazy ride that caught you by surprise. Welcome to my little writing corner where I combine my love for kids fashion, our growing family and traveling with kids (or without).
