Perspective: Steal My Show

A few weeks ago my kids and I had VEVO playing in the background while we did school at the dining room table. The music was upbeat, and helped to keep us focused.  We smiled at each other as we sang along.   It was very Brady Bunch like. Then a song came on that we didn’t know, but we all were ...

When a Do-over Isn’t an Option

Yesterday evening was pure chaos here.  I was upset we weren't gong to a party we were invited to because a home project didn't go as planned, and attitudes across the whole family were poor. Dang it, I was dressed, my make-up was perfect and my clothes looked goooood. Everything was falling in ...

Bless The Lord My Soul

Emotions have ran high the past couple weeks. I've prayed for the Lord to break my heart for what breaks His, and he has. Along with that there's been real true deep heartache, and tears.  I've been in mourning and feel like crawling under the covers and staying there... but then the little people ...

I give more than one iota for unconditional LOVE

Hey Kids, Tonight your dad and I played a game called iota.  it's labeled as "the great big game in the teeny-weeny tin". We just got it a few days ago and finally got a chance to sit down and play it mostly uninterrupted. I won the first game by a long shot (296-199, if you're curious).  But the ...

Modern Conveniences

Today I am thankful for the wrinkle shield setting on my dryer. As I sit here cozy on the couch, in my big sweater and slippers, sipping my hot coffee and reading a book, I have no guilt whatsoever over not doing the laundry right now and no worry it will be wrinkled when I get to it. (Did you like ...

Positivity Challenge- Day 2

Thank you God for: 1. Coffee.  Sweetly flavored with a touch of pumpkin puree.  Sipping it slowly from my raspberry colored thermos mug makes me happy and warms my body on this chilly day. 2. The flexibility of homeschooling and being a stay at home momma.  Yesterday we were able to "drop and go" ...

One. Extraordinary ONE

What a beautiful Sunday.  I love my EXTRAORDINARY church family! Today was what we call Rally Sunday, where we had a combined service where the first and second services joined together to worship as ONE.  The 3rd & 8th graders received their bibles and the leaders of the church were presented. ...

Positivity Challenge- Day 1

I was nominated by my friend Autumn of Pretty & Mine to post 3 positives of each day for 7 days.  I'm a rule breaker, so I'm going to instead post 7 positives for 3 days.  I'm also going to be posting them HERE on my blog, rather than my Facebook where I was nominated, since I did the 7 day ...

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!
