The Gift of Quality Time with JORD
I dedicate this blog to my amazing husband who just celebrated his birthday this month! I couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful man and all that he does to provide for our little family. He works over 60 hours a week working in three different time-zones running two companies, flies back and forth to China every 8-10 weeks as well as travels within the US yet still finds the time to help me at home with Harry and the housework. I admire how great he is at balancing everything and making time for the important people in his life because it is not easy! I have enjoyed watching the metamorphoses of this man over the past year as he evolved into the most amazing father to Harry and supportive husband to me.
So given all of this, I couldn't help but want to spoil him for his special day. The theme for my gift was 'time'. How important is time? Far greater is the importance of time than of any material thing. Time spent with family, time spent reading, time spent building memories, time alone for yourself, time taking care of your wellbeing, time spent nurturing your body over a family meal. What greater gift is there in life than time.
For his birthday, while I could not stop the clocks nor could I buy him more time, I decided to give him something to help better manage the time we have thus allowing him to spend more quality time with Harry. Since part of being a parent to a toddler, we are constantly aware of time to help keep him on schedule, I figured a unique watch would be the way to go! The watch I chose was this fabulous JORD watch; a wooden, unique, timeless piece. Harry's gift to him was the book called 'I love you Daddy' which he now reads to him every night before bed.
The JORD watch I chose is from the Conway series; Kosso and Midnight Blue I just loved the shade of the kosso wood and the face in midnight blue was perfect for Jonny as most of his shirts are this blue! As you can see from the photos, I think it looks great on him. It really compliments most of his brown belts, leather man bags and brown leather shoes.
I was so delighted when it arrived on time for his birthday and also happy that I didn't even feel the need to wrap it as the packaging and presentation was so beautiful it seemed a shame to cover it up in birthday paper.
Beautiful wooden packaging!

On opening it, his eyes lit up and he was over the moon with the uniqueness and quality of the timepiece. It was simply perfect. He tried it on right away and he immediately mentioned that it was so comfortable and something that he could easily wear every day. He wore it for the rest of the afternoon as he spent time playing with Harry and what is great about the watch is that it can be easily carried over into evening dress wear.
We spent most of his birthday as a family, but I also made sure to book a romantic meal for two on top of the Willis Tower and scheduled a babysitter to take care of Harry so Mammy and Daddy could also have quality time together which is so important to do when you have a little one.
As you can probably tell from previous posts, I am a huge fan of wood! Being a Montessori teacher, I generally choose all wooden everything from toys, teething toys, furniture and now watches! JORD also have a beautiful collection of women's watches which are equally as fabulous. Check them out here if you are interested. Isn't this turquoise one just fabulous! I might even get one soon so we can match! I'm all into coordinating these days. I don't know if Jonny shares in my enthusiasm though. Heehehe!
