Nobody Has it All Together, Come See My Current Wallet

Nobody Has it All Together See My Wallet

Ladies, I know we hop online and cruise through pictures thinking everyone else has their life SO TOGETHER.  I want to debunk that theory because it just isn’t true.  Here’s a little #reallife story for you.

 

My sister-in-law gave me a wallet for my birthday years and years ago.  It was cute, and functional.  It was literally way trendier than anything I’d buy for myself.

I carried that cute pink lacey wallet around all these years, feeling so cool.  I got compliments all the time.

The past couple of months it had started looking pretty rough.  Then it finally bit the dust (like fell apart in my hands).

I bought a new one, and tossed out the old one.  After a day I realized the new one was defective and returned it.

Now I’m carrying around my license, credit card, and cash in a wrinkled envelope that  I had to ask my oldest daughter to find for me.

 

Yes, a plain white envelope.

Classy, huh?

I can’t decided if drawing flowers on it will make it better or worse.

 

I’ve so got my life together over here.

Oh, and to top it off I stopped at a gas station last night for bananas (yep) and asked if they had any wallets.  The lady looked at me like I was the biggest redneck she’d ever seen.  She said “Ma’am we are full service, but not quite THAT full service.”

I could’ve died.

Did I really just get so desperate that I started looking for a new wallet at a gas station?  Yes, I did.

 

Deep breath.  No one has every aspect of their life all together.

Keep scrollin’ Facebook and Pinterest, and double tappin’ Instagram, but do so with a grain of salt.

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
