Disclosure: I was sent this beautiful watch in the mail, the opinions and photos are entirely my own!

Last month I was so grateful to receive a beautiful watch from Jord Watches. I’m the first to admit that I’m not huge on wearing lots of accessories when it comes to getting dressed, I keep it simple with little pops of color and subtle jewelry. In fact, I don’t even know the last time I got a watch because I already have two that I LOVE! But then this beautiful timepiece from Jord landed in my mailbox and I was smitten.

Isn’t it beautiful?

I love the blue face because it gives a slightly sophisticated pop to any outfit. And as you can see the watch is wood – yes, wood! How cool is that??! I really like this particular model because it pops just enough to stand out and really make a statement, without being over the top. It also comes with a tiny pen of wood treatment gel so you can keep the wood bright and supple for years to come. The links are stainless steel and the face has a date window (a must for me!) and all sorts of bells and whistles. To be honest, I’m don’t get too wrapped up in scheduling my day down to the minute, but I do love a watch that enables me to do so!

This beautiful timepiece will be fun to wear for many years. Wouldn’t you like to give your Mom something similar? Jord has an awesome selection and you could totally get everything just in time for Mother’s Day!

I was so stoked to receive mine and I know any mother would feel the same way. They have a lot of great watches to choose from, and they come in this awesome box that is a gift in itself. In fact, I store my watch in this box at night, I’m going to keep it that way forever.

Are you ready for a One Pan Roast Chicken with Rosemary Potatoes? I’m am! Let me explain…As I’ve shared a lot recently, the past few years have been a journey. One of the brightest spots along the way has been my involvement with Gatherer Entertainment. I’ve talked a bit about it before, but it’s a production company focused on content for women 35+. Given that I’m in that group now it really speaks to me – I definitely look for different internet content than millenials! 

To that end, a couple years ago Jenna and I worked together to develop a show that speaks to parents about cooking. It’s all about cooking smarter, not harder and making delicious food for your family. Here’s the first episode and stay tuned because I’ll be rolling out all of them over the next several weeks! Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could get this viral so we could get the attention of some networks/platforms who’d like to order more episodes? I’m game to film more if that’s what you want! 

So, enjoy the show and thanks as always for your support. I’m so glad to share that my journey – all the parts of it – has brought me to this place of Cooking, Coaching, and Clean Beauty. I intend to occupy this space for all of you forevermore! Let’s do this, 2019! xxKelsey

Hello! I’ve been popping into The Naptime Chef Facebook page a lot recently to say Hi in person. This is all new to me because Facebook LIVE didn’t exist when I first started this page way back when. I know, I know, I sound super old when I say that. Anyway, I really just love the more personal interaction with all of you. I’ve been having fun getting into video again and this is a great way to do it without being crazy formal!

So, today I stopped in to talk about the cookbooks I’m currently drawing inspiration from. I always find this time of year a little tricky since it’s cold once day, and quite warm the next. I mean, what’s a cook to do? In the end I usually employ my VERY unscientific method of selecting books by scanning my ROYGBIV bookshelves and pulling the books that speak to me at that moment.

I really focus on the ones that contain the healthy/hearty fare. I’m not quite ready for gazpacho and grilled shrimp yet! At this point in the year a good salad, a pan of roast chicken, and a chilled glass of rosé sounds perfect. I also happen to me semi-training for my first half-marathon on June 2nd. I have got to get on the stick about that, and that includes eating nourishing foods while I train.

Here are the books I selected above. I highly recommend them if you are looking for some new seasonal inspiration!

Food52: A New Way to Dinner : This awesome playbook-style cookbook is lovely to read and the recipes are spot on. It truly provides ALL the tips in tricks for getting one grocery haul and making it into several delicious meals over the course of the week. I also love that the chapters are organized by season.
