Mommy Monday. And A Giveaway

Hard to believe there was a time when coffee dates with my boys were the norm, and often the necessity, after long nights with them as waking babies or sick toddlers.  Now we spend most mornings hustling out the door and me literally chasing them down for a hug goodbye.  I think they secretly love this game we now play.  Or at least this is what I tell myself.  Those slow paced velvety foam moments of the past wer welcomed treat and much needed dose of caffeine.  How I think back on those times fondly.  Yet during I wasn't sure I would make it till the next day, or wash my hair that week.  Funny how nostalgia paints everything golden.  And some things never change.

These two boys spent a night at their grandparents house over the weekend and, man, Nick and I couldn't wait for them to return.  Yet we often count down until bedtime.

This is the paradigm of motherhood I suppose.  

So fun to have this moment with them, and drink from real cups, instead of ordering on the run.  "Mommy do we hold the plate too or just the cup?"  Clearly we need more real coffee dates.

A note on my watch.  I discovered JORD wooden watches last year when I gave one to Nick.  I had been wanting a natural toned wood watch every since we shot Nick's.  So when JORD offered to partner with me for a giveaway, of course I said yes.   

What is so cool about these watches is their classic timeless style uniquely updated in wood.  The wood also keeps the watch very light weight and comfortable, you hardly notice it's there.  The subtle grains of the wood add just the right amount of interest. 

Particularly, I love the warm natural tone of this watch mixed with the cool silver accents in the face.  The neutral color works with everything, and somehow it's both dressy and casual.  I love the way it looks with my black sweater.  I also picture wearing it with all my fall flannels, and love how it will look in the summer against tan skin and bright clothes. 

You can find my watch here.  Of course now I want this new style as well.  So many great Men's and Women's watches.  Which is your favorite?
