Finding JOY in my Husband’s Personality: Christmas Break 2015 Edition

Each year around Christmas my husband takes a couple weeks off of work to just “be”. Some years he takes on huge projects, and some years he just fiddles around the house.  As a young bride it used to drive me crazy when he’d take all that time off of work and not “DO” anything.  I never understood ...

Transformation: The Pitcher

Once upon a time (long, long ago and in some other galaxy) this pitcher was used to transfer beer from a keg into clear plastic glasses that were set on each end of a ping pong table. The game was called Beer Pong, and I played it quite well. At the time I didn’t drink beer, which is why I think in ...

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!
