The Work Place

My home is my work place.  I am here more than anyone else.  I am in charge of more physical duties here than anyone else.  I am not complaining. I take pride in this.  God has provided me a beautiful home, and a husband who allows me to be a housewife. This year we took a leap of faith by also ...

Homeschool: Binder

This cute binder was at Target, & happened to be with the 70 percent off school supplies. It was sooo me, but I didn't really have a use for it.. I bought it anyway.. I have got to quit doing that. Thankfully I was able to come up with an idea. I'm using it to organize worksheets that I come ...

Daily Perspective Through Handwriting

Just a quick daily dose of perspective from this homeschooling momma. This is what my kindergartner did with his handwriting today. My first thought: Why can't he follow the rules! Surely a public school teacher would have had him redo his work & he would have forever been tagged as the weird ...

18 inch doll PJ shirt & tu-tu

My oldest daugther has been wanting to learn how to sew.  We decided this week to go ahead and tackle her first sewing machine project! Because it was her first project we started off simple. We took a onesie that no longer fit her baby sister and hemmed it into a PJ shirt for the doll. Thrifty ...

What I Heard Wednesday: 8-21-13

So I'm telling the boy as we're creating a mini book that he needs to cut very carefully on the lines.  His response to me in his laid back, 'I'm so cool' voice:  "Yeah, so I can sell this thing to uncle Jeremy". Yes son, those were my thoughts exactly!  Uncle Jeremy would love to have a mini book ...

2013-2014 Homeschool Curriculum Choices

      Well folks, we.are.crazy. Yep, I said crazy. At least that's what people keep asking us, "are you guys crazy?" We've got 3 kids ages; 10, 6, and 9 months.  And we've decided to homeschool both of the big kids this year!  *warm smile*.  I'm not one of those moms who can't wait to get her kids ...

Thoughtful Thursdays

Through our summer homeschooling journey we have started a new tradition called Thoughtful Thursdays. Last Thursday we went to Chuck E Cheese.  We played and had a wonderful time. In the end we had almost 300 tickets between the four of us. We gave the tickets to someone else, rather than spending ...

Week 2 Preparation & Execution.

Sunday night, after the two youngest fell asleep, I was semi-frantically putting together our 2nd week of homeschool. Thankfully I kind of had a plan already in place (I jot down ideas on my phone when they come to me).  So all I needed to do was pull all the papers into one place and load the work ...

FREE planner sheets

Today I am creating planning sheets to help keep our summer homeschooling organized.  They aren't perfect or fancy by any means, but they'll get the job done.  That is, if I remember to not only fill them out, but also refer back to them!  ha!  You're surely welcome to take a ...

Last Day of School!

It's our last official day of homeschool for this school year!  That is as long as everything that is supposed to get finished, gets finished today. ;) We will have about a week off.  During that time we will do Vacation Bible School, and just PLAY.  Then we start SUMMER HOMESCHOOL!  Fun, right?  ...

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!
