Jack + Link Wooden Toys

Finding quality toys is difficult these days! It seems like companies are going for cheap and it’s really frustrating as a mom.  When I find good quality toys, I love to share about them!  I recently found a company that I love their products, how they are made, and their mission…Jack + Link!

Jack + Link make wood toys that are handcrafted from 100% organic wood!  Not only are the toys beautiful but they are well made and non-toxic. Camden and Ella play with their Jack and Link toys all the time and they still look brand new!

Another thing that I love about Jack and Link is that they are eco conscious.  They only purchase from sustainably sourced mills.  They use eco-friendly packaging. They donate a portion of every purchase to the rainforest trust to purchase and preserve rain forest acreage.  They bag their sawdust to give to farms for fertilization and they use wood from trees that had to be cut down because they died naturally or had to be cleared to prevent forest fires.  Isn’t that amazing?

One of the Jack and Link items we have are their name puzzles.  Camden and Ella love these and I love them because it helps with eye hand coordination and helps them learn their letters!

How cute are these?

We also have their Wooden Heart Wand and Dinosaur Wooden Wand which are Camden and Ella’s favorite thing in the world!  They watch Word Party on Netflix and the main character uses a wand so they are constantly carrying their wands around playing pretend.  It’s the cutest thing ever!

Could they be any more adorable?

I can’t say enough good things about this company and what they stand for…plus, their owners are the sweetest!  Make sure you check out their website for their large selection of toys.

I mean, look at how cute this is!!!

Their products would be great for your baby or kid, or even the perfect gift for someone else!!! Thanks Jack + Link for making these for Camden and Ella!

A Day in the Life- July 2019

One of my favorite things to read from bloggers are “Day in the Life” posts.  They give you a snapshot into people’s everyday lives! I wish I had done this while my kiddos were newborns (#absolutecraziness) and then every few months, just so I could look back on it.  I’ve done a lot of Life Lately posts but never a “Day in the Life”, here goes nothing…

The day I’m writing about was a random “work day” last week.  We travel a lot and we do try to keep busy but I should warn you, our normal days are just like everyone else’s…a little boring, we follow a routine, and everything revolves around our two toddlers!

Around 7 am, I woke up (Judd was already at work), I showered, made the bed, let London out, unloaded the dishwasher, started the robot vacuum, and then headed to my office to work for about 30-45 minutes.

Around 8:15, I heard the kiddos start to wake up!  Good Morning, my favorite twinsies!!

I changed them and then it was time for breakfast.  They eat the same thing almost every morning: milk, vitamin gummy, whole wheat toast, bananas, and turkey sausage.

Happy kiddos!!IMG_8034

Last year at this time, we took London to a dog training class and it was one of the best decisions we ever made.  She sat on her “spot” until we released her after breakfast.

The rest of the morning until lunch was spent playing!  These two LOVE to play!

We also talked to Lovey (who had just gotten out of the shower, lol)!

Around 12:00, it was time for lunch!

After lunch, we read a few books and then it was nap time for Camden and Ella.

While, they were sleeping I worked on some photo shoots.  Part of my job as a blogger is creating content and providing brand awareness for companies.  I try to take my “product” pictures one day a week.  Here I’m doing a photoshoot for a shoe insert.  When Judd isn’t home, I use my tripod to take pictures. 🙂

Around 3:00, Judd got home and the kiddos woke up!

IMG_8070

Judd, Camden, and Ella ate a snack and played while I finished up my individual shoots and then it was time for dinner!

After dinner, we went swimming for a couple of hours! IMG_8371IMG_8372IMG_8373

Then it was home to take baths and unwind for the day.

Around 9:00 we put the kiddos to bed.  Every night after we put the kids to bed (and when Judd is home and not working), Judd and I grab a sweet treat like ice cream or cookies and watch TV together before bed.  It’s our time to relax before the day is over.

Around 10:00, we both headed to bed.  One more “work day” and then it was the weekend for us! We usually spend our weekends at the beach or traveling. 🙂
