That’s the way things happen on The Plinkco Express (w/ free downloadable Christmas wish list print)


     All aboard The Plinkco Express! Welcome! I am so excited to be writing this blog! To start off, I would love to introduce myself!  My name is Jessica Gregory and I am a mom of two little ones; Corban, who will be two in December (on New Years Eve), and Ava who just turned 4 months old (picture of my family below). I’m sure you will be hearing about them a lot on this blog!  Erica and I have been best friends since childhood and I was so excited when she had this idea of doing a blog for her new business, Plink Co. Express Learning. 


     Our hope is that this blog will be a useful resource and an encouragement to parents and teachers!  If you follow Plink Co. Express Learning on Facebook or instagram, you probably know that Erica values her followers and wants to build a sense of community. She’s not just in the business of selling toys, she wants to be a help and encouragement and build a support system for people who are trying to educate,  children at home, in the classroom, or wherever else it may be! I am totally bought in to that vision and am passionate about it! So give us your feedback! Comments, questions, requests: we want to hear from you! 

     We will feature different items in the store and chat about them but that will not be all this blog is about! I do, however, have to share this adorable picture of my sons face when he was first introduced to his Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Board! (I would apologize for the mess, but if you’re reading this blog, chances are you’ve been around kids enough to understand!)

Here are 3 things you can always expect on our blog: 

1.) Freebies!

    We will always have an activity or something fun for you and/or the kids!  This week we have a Christmas wish list because Christmas is just around the corner and if these aren’t done yet, the time is ticking! (Bonus points if your child writes in a toy from Plink Co.!)

2.) Exclusives! 

          Offers, Promos and Insiders

The exclusive offer in this post is get a pack of 16 of these adorable Christmas gift tags free with any purchase from Plink Co. Express Learning this weekend only! 

Also, this is sort of an insider... if you follow Plink Co.   Express Learning on social media, you may have seen today that these sweet custom wooden name puzzles have just been added to the shop! Erica makes these and she does a fantastic job! (And how cute is that name on display in these pictures? Okay, maybe I'm a little biased about thats.) 



3.) Encouragement to keep doing what you are doing to invest in this next generation! 

     My mother-in-law always says, “The days may be long but the years are short.”  I tell myself this all of the time being a stay at home mom with a baby and a toddler!  The days really do feel long but it is such a privilege that we to get to invest in, teach, love on, and develop these children.  Hang in there because while the days are long, the years are oh, so short! Your work and investment will pay off and the reward will be great! 

     And that, my friends, is the way things happen on Plinkco. Express! Stay tuned next week for a fun Thanksgiving freebie.  Meanwhile, go get out you favorite Christmas mug and sip some coffee or hot cocoa and watch The Polar Express. It’s been a long year and I don’t know about you, but I am beyond ready for the holidays!

Gobble ‘till you Wobble (Board)

How is it possible that it’s almost Thanksgiving?! My, how the time is flying! I’ve been trying to teach Corban to say “Gobble Gobble” so that I could get a video of him Gobbling while he’s wobbling on his Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Board. He says something that sounds like a mix between Gobble and Wobble but the struggle to get it on video for you is real!  What I do have for you, in light of Thanksgiving coming up, is a fun printable for the kids!   Thanksgiving Placemat - Free Download Corban's not quite 2 but he’s totally going to be scribbling all over one of these! He loves coloring! He has a wooden table that we let him color at but instead of coloring at his table he’s started coloring on his table! We tried for a while to get him to only color on his coloring book but his table has started looking like a piece of art so we gave up.  When Erica gave us our Plink Co. Wooden Wobble Balance Board I told her we’d try to keep the crayons away from it so it stays nice for pi

Learning from Virtually Anything

I’ve been thinking lately while watching my son as he grows and learns, that there is an opportunity for learning in everything. Even in these pictures, We counted to 5 to get him to sit still long enough for a picture for the blog. I’ve been trying to use these little moments to teach him, whether it be a life lesson, or learning things like numbers, colors, and words.  He is so excited about learning his colors right now! We’ve just been using anything and everything to help him learn them but I cannot wait to give him his Plink Co. Color sorting peg dolls for Christmas! He also loves practicing those fine motor skills. My sister has a pair of air pods and one of his favorite things is taking them out of the case and putting them back in. I think these peg dolls will bring hours of entertainment to our house! It’s always a win when learning is fun! This year has been a rollercoaster to say the least!  All of you teachers and homeschooling parents rock!  There have been so many learni
