Recipe: Baked Oatmeal

Here is a peek into my oven this morning: I must have made breakfast too early this morning, or maybe I just didn't eat enough, Because this delightful dish came out of the oven at about 10:30 this morning.  Yes, that's right, I had baked oatmeal at 10:30 in the morning.  I chalk it up to being one ...

Recipe: Spinach & Strawberries Drink

One afternoon I was eating my healthy spinach leaves topped with some frozen strawberries that were slowly thawing.  I enjoy eating, but this poking the leaves & the strawberries being too frozen to bite through stuff was just getting boring!  I just wasn’t in the mood to struggle with ...

Flowers For Valentine’s Day

Just for fun, I wanted to show off what my hubby did for me for Valentine's day.  He knows I'm watching what I eat so he avoided giving me a great big box of my favorite chocolates (although I would have made an exception- then complained later when my weight went up).  He instead made these ...

They Don’t Need Me

I use to work in a pizza place all through high school.  One of the guys I worked with said something to me that, I've thought about it often. I don't remember what day of the week it was, but it was getting busy and he was sitting in a booth reading the local newspaper.  From behind the counter in ...

100th BLOG POST! A Book Giveaway!

So this is the 100th blog post for A Slightly Better Wife.  I haven't blogged as much as I would've liked to, but don't all bloggers say that? I have become a better wife in some areas, and that was the goal.  I feel like I've made improvements, but still have a ways to go.  Marriage is a work in ...

I have always had a desire to live simple while striving to be more intentional and working to do things slightly better than I did the day, week, month, or year before.

I appreciate putting more emphasis on people and experiences, than material things.  I attribute this to my {mostly} unplugged childhood.

I was born in Minnesota and after moving to Iowa I was able to go back for well over a decade to visit with my grandparents in the same home that my parents brought me home to as an infant.  As a child I loved hearing my Grandpa Link tell stories and adored spending time in the kitchen learning from my Grandma Edna. I believe those admirable character traits of my grandparents are woven into the fibers of who I am today.

My husband and I met 4 days after my 18th birthday, we were just friends for only a week before deciding dating and ‘forever’ were in our plans.

Together we built our dream home on the edge of town where we are creating our modern city-life homestead while we raise and homeschooling our four children.

I love sharing pieces of our life with hopes of inspiring you to live slightly better too!

Welcome. ♥ I am SO glad you’re here!

Welcome! I am so glad you're here! I'm Quincey. I'm a wife and homeschool mom in the great state of Iowa. I'm passionate about bringing a little Jesus and practical encouragement to the tired moms of the world. I drink massive amounts of coffee and worship often to help me on this journey.
