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 ...

For Real Red Devils Food Cake

I whipped up this 'tried and true' recipe last week for a friend's birthday.  It was in a binder I filled with my grandma Edna's recipes.

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.
