The Wife

Want to know something? A very real reason I love being a wife is because it is so incredible to watch another human so closely and cheer them on as they chase their passions. It's as much about me, as it is about HIM. Since I was 18 years old I have had the safety of having "my person". It's ...

If you are looking for a great bible for a pre-teen or teen, and really, boy or girl, I encourage you to check out The Action Bible. Our son, who is now 14, loves this book! When he first got it he was 10 years old and the graphic images were a little startling. It did not make a great bedtime ...

Tomato Free Salsa

Let's keep this simple! I love salsa, but consuming tomatoes make my feet so sore I can barely walk, and they put our little girl into tears for the same thing, sore feet. It hasn't always been this way, yet it has intensified over time. Although, sometimes we can tolerate marinara sauce like in ...

Health: Heartburn Relief with Maty’s All Natural

If you or someone in your home is experiencing heartburn, first I'd say let's explore WHY that's happening. Often times a dietary change can make all the difference, and it's not as obvious as avoiding tomatoes or other foods that get the majority of the blame. Yet, I know personally that ...

Practical Valentine’s Gifts For The Family

I love a good holiday celebration, but I can quickly be discouraged by the way it promotes more clutter in our home, unmet expectations, and unnecessary spending. Maybe you can relate? This year we celebrated Valentine's Day early for two reasons: I bought gifts and cannot keep them ...

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.
