The Top 3 Things I LOVE about Amazon Prime Pantry

Are you using Amazon Prime Pantry yet?  I don't use it regularly (like I have no set system for it), but I do use it often to supplement my regular grocery shopping.  I especially love it on cold winter days when putting on long-johns and dragging my 3 kids to the grocery store is my least favorite ...

Embarking on the KonMari Method

Have you heard of the KonMari Method?  I’m basically obsessed with the idea of it right now.  I’ll preface this with a disclaimer that I am one of “those women” who enjoy the act of cleaning the house.  Specifically, I like organizing.  Actually deep cleaning and scrubbing isn’t my thing, but I can ...

Thankful Thursday: Thoughts on Thanksgiving 2015

Today I am thankful for the ordinary, everyday things.  I'm thankful to have our oldest daughter in our care.  I'm thankful for the beautiful person she is, for her kindness and compassion.  I'm thankful for her desire to learn and for the joy of cooking (& adoration of kitchen gadgets) that we ...

Amazon Prime Pantry Tips

Hey Everyone!  Over the weekend I did a Periscope about Amazon Prime Pantry.  Apparently my replay was being wonky as usual.  I'm always so bummed when that happens (Periscope Team, if you're reading this, e-mail me and help a girl out).  Anyway, here's a SHOUT OUT & a ...

When Will it End? Growing Up Weird, and Other Ramblings.

I was born in Minnesota (say it like this: Mini-SO-TAH) during the summer of 1986.  I spent my childhood living in a middle class home in Northern Iowa with 2 brothers and a mother and father who loved me dearly.  Despite my seemingly normal home life, my school years were hard.  You see I was born ...

The “Will Somebody?” Trend

I’ve noticed a growing trend.  There has been a very popular phrase around my house the past few months.  It starts with "Will SOMEBODY...."  You can fill in just about anything you'd like after that: Will somebody turn on the light? Will somebody turn off the alarm? Will somebody put away my ...

Free Coffee!

If you're a regular here, you know how my husband likes to bless me with coffee... when it's free. ;) This cup is brought to you me by the Family Eye Care Center. It's just a silly-cute thing he started doing after he heard of one of my dad's shenanigans: My dad "takes my mom out for dinner" at ...

Out With The Old, In With The New

My husband can be stubborn, practical, frugal, and every other similar word you can think of. I just tossed these old worn out shoes of his in the garbage can.  I have no doubt in my mind that he's going to see them and give me 10 good reasons why he's keeping them. Anyone else know someone like ...

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!
