It's Time To Think About Dad With Jord Watches

Sunday, June 11, 2017

Hunter has been excited to become a father for as long as I've known him.
Back in our high school days we dreamed of having 10 kids running around our house.
Then we had one... Ha!
Even though our ideas of how many kids we are wanting have changed, Hunter's love for being a father hasn't.
Oaklyn will do the littlest things and Hunter can't stop talking about how perfect she is and how much he loves being her dad.
I never doubted whether or not he'd be a "good" dad, but I will say he has exceeded my expectations!



The day Oaklyn was born, I saw a new side of Hunter and it made me fall in love with him even more than I already had.
I wish you all could've seen his face the first time he laid eyes on her, it was like he had fallen in love all over again.
He was so natural holding her and taking care of her right from the start and even during the sleepless nights, he loved her more than she'll ever understand.
As Oaklyn gets older it is so fun for me to see their relationship.
She is the bossiest little girl with her daddy, but she also has the most special bond with him. 
She follows him around everywhere and is in full blown tears when he has to leave for work. 
Hunter cherishes every bit of time he gets to spend with her and loves looking back on memories.
It is beyond cute to see him get emotional about his little girl.
Since being a father is one of his biggest passions in life, I've been thinking about how I can make Father's Day special for him this year.
I want him to know how much we appreciate and value all he does as a father.


Thanks to Jord Wood Watches, I think we found the perfect gift!
Hunter was so excited to pick out his favorite watch and put some serious thought into which one he should get. 
He ended up picking a men's watch from the Dover series in Olive and Acacia.
When the package arrived, we liked it even better in person than online!
It really is such a unique watch and Jord has made it possible to engrave a personalized message or saying into the watch as well!
We engraved "Forever Moore" into the inside of Hunter's wedding ring and love it!
I think it's an awesome idea to engrave a message into a Jord watch as well.



We gave Hunter his watch early so I could let you all know about this awesome Father's Day gift idea ahead of time, but it was just as special doing it early.
It was so fun for me to watch Oaklyn bring her daddy his Father's Day gift.
She kept oohing and ahhing over it and was so sweet to Hunter.
I always love pictures of the two of them together because it captures how much they love each other.
This is the first Father's Day that Oaklyn understands a little better so it was so fun having her be involved in the gift giving.



This Father's day gift was a huge hit and I know it will be with the father in your life too!
There are so many stylish options that can be dressed up or down and the option to customize it with engraving!
I love how on Jord's website it says: " The value of a watch is not in being able to tell how much time has passed, but in being aware of the need to make that time count. Moments are bigger than minutes and your watch should tell more than time."
So, it's "time" to think about dad, and give him a gift that he'll really love!
Jord Wood Watches are perfect for dad's everywhere!
Because we've loved Hunter's new watch so much I've teamed up with them for a giveaway!
The winner will receive a $100 gift card to Jord!

I hope you all will love this company as much as we do!

Holiday Gift Guide For The Man In Your Life!

Monday, December 12, 2016
Does anyone else struggle shopping for their husband every year??
Hunter is actually fairly easy because he's pretty low maintenance, but he can never think of anything he actually wants and it drives me crazy! haha!
He never needs clothes because he works for BYU football and gets everything he needs from them.
He also isn't home much with school and work, so fun at home gadgets wouldn't do much good just yet.
I usually just end up getting a few things so there's something under the tree for him haha.
I'm hoping this gift guide helps some of you out that are in the same boat as me!

Just as the women's gift guide, I'll be sharing small shop products first and at the bottom include shoppable links for your convenience!
Every brand on this list is tried and true :)


1) Thread Wallets: Thread Wallets are the slimmest wallets around. They are able to hold all of your cards and cash without taking up a ton of room in your pocket and they are safe! I remember watching a video where they took one on a rollercoaster and it didn't budge. I love all their designs and the convenience of these wallets. 

2) JoTotes Camera Bag: Yes, this was on my women's list as well... but their backpacks are totally gender neutral! Hunter takes all my blog photos for me and feels totally comfortable lugging around this bag. It's stylish but not too feminine and helps the photographer in your family carry all their equipment. 

3) An Arvo Watch: You've heard me rave about Arvo time and time again but seriously, these are our absolute favorite! hunter has the all black one and I just love how it looks on him. He's tried the brown band as well and liked it! There's so many options for these watches and your lover will be thanking you endlessly!

4) Kortni Jeane Men's bottoms: YES Kortni Jeane really does have men's suits! How cool is that?? She even has prints that match her mini and regular sized suits so the whole fam can match! These bottoms are stylish and comfortable and you are guaranteed to love them!

5) Dazi Tie: I bought Hunter a ton of ties while he was on his mission and I regret every purchase because all he really wears now are his Dazi ties! We absolutely love these ties. They are slim but not too skinny and look awesome on everyone. They have prints no one else does and every one of them is designed to please. Seriously, these are our favorite!

6) Blenders Eyewear: Hunter complains about the sun being in his eyes often and I'm always wondering why he doesn't just wear sunglasses! Now that he has a pair of these, he finally does ;) We love these sunglasses! They have so many styles and designs and are awesome quality!

And now on to a few shoppable links!
I hope this helped you find a few things for the man in your life!

All my love,
Aleigh Joy
