Deep Gratitude: The Guitar

Deep gratitude. My heart is so very full of gratitude.Back story: As many of you already know, less than a year ago I was incredibly sick. For months I went to bed not knowing if I'd live another day. The pain was excruciating both mentally and physically. The trauma our family endured from ...

Decluttering: Pretty + Peaceful Spaces

I’ve shared a lot about my passion for decluttering and curating pretty + peaceful spaces.  The mission is really two-fold. It started as a side hustle to earn money for a big beautiful built-in-looking refrigerator someday.  Oh, how my ambitions have changed as life has gone on! Haha!  I ...

Are You Reacting To The Life Around You, or Are You Creating The Life You Long For?

Check-in time, how are you?  Really, how are you doing?  Good or bad, drop a message in the comments, or message me through any of my social channels.  I love hearing from you. Every day we are bombarded with so much information through our phones, TV, the newspaper, etc.  Yes, we still ...

The Eyes to See…

There's something sacred to me about backyard time with the family. Tending our garden, admiring the flowers blooming in the bed, watching the littles dig in the sandbox, and sometimes joining them myself. Snacking on the freshest fruits of my husband's labor in the garden, smelling the fire ...

Two Things: Homeschool Uniforms & Nature Study

Two things:First thing: We're trying casual uniforms in our homeschool. This may sound strict when read on a blog post, but I assure you my middle kids ASKED for this. They love all things fashion and thought it would be a lot of fun. I can tell you this, it has made mornings smoother, and ...

Mindset & Attitude

As a young bride I thought homemaking meant having the children dressed well and supper on the table at 6 pm for my husband, doing the shopping for wedding, birthday, and Christmas gifts, signing all the cards, and changing out seasonal decorations. What I've learned over the years that I've been ...

Recipe: Graycie’s Cinnamon Almond Cake

My youngest daughter, age 8, often comes to me with the sweetest smile and asks "can I create a recipe, momma?"Without giving it a thought, my honest response today was "yes, but only if you clean up the kitchen when you're finished".I wanted to say "no", because of the messes that get made, but I ...

17 Years Ago Today

It was a Friday evening 17 years ago today, that at barely 18 years old, I hopped in my green Camaro with my big brother and drove to his friend's house for a quick visit. It was there that I'd meet the man that would become my husband, and his sweet + spunky one year old daughter (that I thought ...

A decade of learning together

I would sum up the last decade of teaching our children at home like this: Homeschooling is simply beautiful. Watching our children gain an interest in the world around them and study the plants and life that God created is a joy. 💕 Yes, there are hard days, math tests filled with tears, and ...

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.
