Slowing Down, Seeing More

It started early last week.  I told God I felt like I was drowning in my tasks and I couldn't take anymore.  Life wasn't enjoyable in that moment.  My calendar was full and my to-do list was far too long.  I told him things needed to slow down.  I was in pain, too busy, and needed a break.  Then I ...

Self Care: No Fair!

“Life isn’t fair”   I bet you can’t count how many times you’ve heard that before!  When our second child was a toddler I set the rules that my children were NOT allowed to say “NO FAIR!”.  It’s still a rule in this house today.  It drives me bonkers to hear other kids say this too.  Call me crazy ...

In The Kitchen: Living Salad Bowl

Having a living salad bowl on my deck is just about my favorite thing right now.  It makes lunch time so easy!  It's also a great way to add simple veggies to dinner.  My biggest high comes from seeing my picky eater snacking on it while he plays outside. In each pot I planted: Green leaf ...

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!
