For The Love of Furniture

  Furniture shopping has quickly become one of my favorite activities.  My family doesn't share in my joy here, but they have been troopers as I've hauled them to store after store after store (exciting news, I *may* have found a couch yesterday-  I just have to overthink it for a few days ...

Simple Summer

As summer nears I always find myself checking all of the area events and making a Summer Bucket List.  I make stops at Wal-Mart & Hobby Lobby to pick up simple crafts for the toddler, moderate crafts for the big kids, and elaborate crafts for myself. I buy new popsicle molds and tell myself ...

The Simple Joys of Motherhood

-Loving & Joy Seeking- Motherhood.  It drains me and fulfills me like nothing else ever could.  If I don't get too caught up in all that I HAVE to do, I can really practice being grateful for what I GET to do. Today I am grateful for laundry.  A bathroom floor covered in dirty laundry is a ...

Rest In Peace Orange Crush

We had a rocky morning as we discovered our daughter's beloved fish, Orange Crush, had passed away. He was 3 years old. Orange Crush spent his time traveling around our home.  You'd never know where his jar would be resting. He often sat in the middle of our table as we did school work.  Watching ...

Where You Lead, I will Follow

Where You Lead, I will Follow. You know how God puts you right where you need to be? That’s exactly how I felt tonight. Mr. Awesome took the day off of work and we spent our whole entire afternoon visiting furniture stores (yes, again).  The kids were tired, I was tired, and we all just wanted ...

Would you like to POP over?

  Hello Friends! I just wanted to pop on here and say Hello! Our kiddos have successfully finished up another year of homeschooling and we wanted to reward them in a big way for their efforts. Okay, I’ll be honest, that’s totally just an excuse (but don’t tell the kids). This post ...

Keep Feeding Them, Daily.

They don't care that it's been only 39 minutes since they last ate, my little people are hungry, always. It's tough being a momma and coming up with meal ideas multiple times a day, each and every day.  You'd think we would all have it mastered by now. Here's my advice to get you through a ...

Tip Tuesday: Owning Things

IF you're pressed for time, just read this: Don’t own things that end up owning you. We spent 7 years owning a 7-foot wide humongous take-up-the-whole-wall kind of entertainment center that could only fit an old boxy style TV.  When we decided its life here was done, it totally owned us.  We ...

Marriage: 2 Tips for Productive Communication

Dear Wives, We’ve all been there, haven’t we? That place in a conversation where we keep repeating ourselves and nothing is getting accomplished.  The same conversation seems to drag on for days, possibly even weeks. Oh goodness, has it really been weeks? Yes. It has. Mr. Awesome and I ...

Old and New. Balance. It’s Okay.

It's okay to mix old and new. It's okay to wear fancy shoes and till the garden (or very occasionally help and pose like you did such an incredible job). It's okay to wear blue jeans when you more than likely should've worn a skirt. It's okay to bicker for 2 days with your husband over ...

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.
