Jord Watches ~ Holiday Gift Guide ~ Giveaway

I am excited to have Jord watches in my Holiday Gift Guide. They are a beautiful crafted gift for anyone special in your life. I got my husband the dark sandalwood watch from the Fieldcrest line. The colors are gorgeous and the wood design makes it very unique.

They are handcrafted and simply gorgeous.  The wood  makes them light and comfortable.  My husband absolutely loved his gift.  The watch face is made of the same wood in a darker color.  The clasp is metal and makes it super easy to get on and off.

The watches come in a beautiful box that just make this the ultimate fancy present.  They include polish and everything you need to car for your handcrafted piece.

Doesn't it make him look handsome?  Whether relaxing at home or heading out for a night on the town he is accessorized and styling. 

There are so many great designs to choose from and choices for men and women.  I would love one for myself (hint, hint)!  So whether you need something for your husband, wife, mom or dad this is an easy no-brainer gift they are sure to love.

Hand-crafted wood timepieces. Raw material, refined design JORD is run by artists, designers, marketers, and minders. We spend our days creating, considering, arguing, and hopefully agreeing. Then we'll scrap it all for the joy of starting new. We have fun. This is our journey. We are focused on creating timepieces that are modeled after a modern lifestyle. We value sustainability, efficiency, and experiential living. 

We make our watches for people who don't just have somewhere to be, they have somewhere to go. 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.

Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Container Set ~ Gift Guide

For my first Holiday Gift Guide item I would love to share the Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Container Set.

Instant vacuum freshness without pumps, motors or confusing parts; Simply press down on the lid and air is forced out via the one-way valve.

Patented valve removes excess air to reduce naturally occurring bacteria; It also releases pressure to prevent spills and splatters in microwaves.

Wave pattern on bottom of each container keeps cut fruit and vegetables elevated from water and juices.
Handy date dial allows you to record when food was first stored and monitor days kept in the refrigerator.
BPA-free, stain-resistant, shatter-proof and as transparent as glass; Freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe; Satisfaction guaranteed.

One of my favorite features is how they all store inside of each other.  No more looking for lids or having piles of containers fall on your head!  I also love that not only are they dishwasher safe but they are microwave safe as well.  They have a little tab on top you can open for easy mess free microwaving.

These would make a great gift for almost anyone.  From college students to moms everyone can probably use a new efficient easy to use storage set.

They make great bowls too!  An easy way to get stuff from one place to another.  Since they vacuum in freshness they are perfect for storing fresh fruits and veggies for easy access.  The smallest container is the perfect size for taking a sandwich to work or on an outing.

Saving Money with Groupon Coupons

Savings made easy!

If you are an online shopper like myself, you must check out Groupon! They are a website that offers coupons on all your favorite retailers. If you go on the Groupon site right now you will find thousands and thousands of deals and coupons. There is an endless supply of money saving offers.

Some of the best deals I have ever found have been from Groupon. Groupon used to just be known as a site where you could purchase deals from but, now they offer actual coupons to over 9,000 retailers.

One of my favorite retailers on the Groupon site right now is CityPASS.  Right Now Groupon is offering over 15 different coupons at up to 54% off on CityPASS. That is savings on top of the great deal you are getting by purchasing the CityPASS as opposed to purchasing the individual attractions. This, is savings made easy! 

My Son and I recently got a CityPASS for Chicago and were able to experience many local attractions from Willis Tower to the Adler Planetarium.  Thanks to Groupon and CityPASS for the cost of about two attractions we got to do 12!  It was a really fun filled day I never could of afforded if purchased on my own.

Soon after the entire family was taking a trip to Philadelphia so of course I headed over to Groupon to see if a CityPASS was available and it was!  With 40% off and 5 must see attractions I bought one for everyone in my family.  I can't tell you how many times I have recommended both CityPass & Groupon since then.

So check it out!  To make saving even easier make sure to get the Groupon app as well.

Fall at Konow's Corn Maze ~ Discount

One of my favorite activities that comes with fall its visiting pumpkin farms and corn mazes.  It is the start of a fun season filled with hot apple cider and apple donuts.  The hardest part is deciding where to go.  With so many choices I like to choose something new every year and this years visit to Konow's Corn Maze did not disappoint.

The first thing my boys saw was the giant jumping pillow.  They raced over and jumped for quite awhile.  This is big enough that even the grownups can join in. It was an exciting first stop.

After jumping for a bit they noticed the train rides that were going on and we raced over where they got a seat at the back of the cow train.  They were super excited and had a ton of fun on the first of 3 tractor pulled rides.

Next stop was the GIANT hay mountain.  This was awesome!  I think the boys spent a good hour here climbing and exploring.  There were tunnels and caves,  They enjoyed playing with the other kids and attempting to get to the very top.  It was super fun and everyone there seemed to enjoy it a lot.  Even with the rain the day before it was under a tent so it was nice and dry.

After plenty of hay time (we went back for more later) we headed off to the corn pits which I think are so therapeutic.  It is just relaxing to dig and roll around in the corn.  Yes you are free to join the kids.  They have a small one for smaller kids and a giant pit for everyone else.  I insist you MUST get in.  

Konow's Corn Maze is a working farm so there are plenty of animals.  We saw hogs, cows, goats, sheep, and chickens to name a few.  My boys loved playing on all the tractors they had on exhibit as well.  They took turns climbing up and playing with all the knobs.  

By now we needed a break to refuel.  We checked out the restaurant and I was surprised everything was priced between 1-4 bucks which is super reasonable.  Four meals with drinks came out to about $25.  They have everything from corn on the cob to pizza.  Be sure to get some delicious apple cider!

After lunch we went on the grain train, hayrides and I think we visited all the activities one more time.  Chris really wanted to head in the corn maze but it had rained the entire day before our visit and as expected it was super muddy.  Regardless we still had a fabulous time and would definitely come back again.  

Tickets are only $10 per person on the weekends, $9 during the week and it is a short 45 minute drive from the O'hare area.  

Konow's is 10 acres of Family Fun! Rides, Games, Food, Shopping, Pumpkin Farm and our world famous Corn Maze!

Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker ~ Review

Disclosure:  I was provided with tickets in order to write this review.  However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was so excited when I was given the opportunity to attend the Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker when it came to Chicago.  I have never been to a ballet before and it has always been a bucket list item of mine.  The fact that it was the Great Russian Nutcracker had me even more intrigued.  I grabbed my bestie for a girls afternoon.

I have to say I was very impressed.  Not knowing what to expect it was fabulous.  The music was beautiful with one of my favorite songs being the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies.  The dancing was spectacular.  This being my first time seeing a ballet I was amazed by their footwork and flexibility.  It was so beautiful to watch and flowed well with the music.  I loved how they had so many children incorporated into the show as well.



Although Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker has left Chicago for this year there are still tickets available at many venues across the country.  If you live in Chicago I say add this to your to do list for next year.  The little girls were twirling down the aisles during intermission.  It is a must do and you never know it may become a family tradition.  You can use the code JOY for up to $30 off your ticket order.

CLICK HERE TO CHECK FOR SHOWS & TICKETS!

Tickets are on sale now for Moscow Ballet’s celebrated Great Russian Nutcracker on most cities on the 2015 North American tour! Families love Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker! It's the ultimate holiday tradition and creates memories for a lifetime. The production includes over 200 romantic costumes and 10' tall playful animal puppets; shimmering colorful, backdrops splashed with 3-D effects; life-sized Matrushka (Nesting) Dolls and a puppet show for shadowing the Nutcracker Story at the opening Christmas Party. During the battle with Nutcracker Prince and the 3-headed Rat King, a golden cannon shoots roses! In the Magical Snow Forest an authentic Russian style Troika Sleigh, known as the fastest sleigh in the world, is escorted by Father Christmas (Ded Moroz) and Snow Maiden (Snegurochka) on their way to Act II. The Great Russian Nutcracker is known for its dedication to world peace with Act II named the "Land of Peace and Harmony." The first scene of Act II features a stunning "Dove of Peace" with a 20' wingspan and danced by 2 dancers each with one feathered wing. All ages feel the spirit of the season at Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker!
