Pass the Bread

I've been seeing this Facebook post shared all day and I *want* to be inspired because it's a great thought that I've preached it myself many times. Give your best, it changes everything. At the very least, it changes your own heart. You know I'm a marriage blogger and I appreciate real life ...

First Day Jitters: Homeschool Edition

This morning will be our first day back at the homeschool co-op. We went for its first two years, took a year off, and now we're all in again for this academic year. As we're starting up again there are so many unfamiliar names on the roster. I have "first day" jitters like nobody's business. ...

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!
