Growing Again

Resting isn't something I do well on my own, so I am grateful that this pregnancy has taught me how to rest.

​If you've noticed the posts have been a little sporadic around here, it's because I've spent the past 7 months growing a new little blessing inside of me, and really folks, it has been down right exhausting at times. As much as I want to focus only on the good, and not complain, I've got to tell ...

Homeschool Resource: Preschool Match It Puzzles by The Learning Journey

Here’s a great homeschool preschool resource for math and counting. The pieces are self-correcting, sturdy and I can see this lasting through multiple children. Click this post to see tips on how to use this set.

Take a look at this fun resource I found at Aldi!  You know I love that store for more than just their creamy cottage cheese, excellent produce, and pizzas the size of the EARTH (or maybe the sun)!  You can find so many great non-food items there also.  I filmed a video to share how we're using this ...

Who Am I Like?

  ​I bought these hiking style boots forever ago.  Having multiple children, of both genders, that are in multiple sizes, has taught me a lot.  One of the things I've learned is to never leave a store without first checking the shoe department for clearance.  Really!  Our kiddos are each ...

Married Life: When It Gets Messy and Hard

If I'm being honest, 'married life' is messy and hard.  Life with real friends can also be this way.  The people who speak the truth in love can offend us (or down right tick us off) easily, without even trying. Often times they're just trying to help, except it doesn't feel like help, it feels ...

Just let that sink in for a minute, would you?  This is a quote I read in an e-mail from Jill Savage.  I know you've probably heard me talk here or in my videos about Jill before.  It's ...

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!
