So this is the 100th blog post for A Slightly Better Wife. I haven't blogged as much as I would've liked to, but don't all bloggers say that? I have become a better wife in some areas, and that was the goal. I feel like I've made improvements, but still have a ways to go. Marriage is a work in ...
1000 Gifts
I am slowly but surely reading the book One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, by Ann Voskamp. I won a copy at a MOPS meeting, but already had it on my Kindle. I knew I wanted so badly to share the book with my mom. I gave the book to her for her ...
Ditching Toxins- 1 Year Later
Almost exactly a year ago I posted about how freaked out I am by toxins. Since then I DID actually pull out the lotions that had parabens listed in the ingredients, or had a list of ingredients longer than I cared to read. I tried making my own deodorant (& toothpaste), which worked better ...
Not a typical January day
It is a warm and beautiful January day, thanksgiving to God flows abundantly. Breakfast brought a dispute between siblings over toast & tears flowed. Forgiveness from the tired girl to her brother didn't come quick, but did come. My trying to be helpful, wasn't helpful at all & she made ...
The lucky girl (pt 3)
This lucky girl wants to brag about the lucky GUY! The man of the house won 25 town bucks in a drawing! Yep, 25!! Saaaa-weeeeet!! I proudly picked them up for him at the chamber office today. We live in such a lovely town. I will *try* to force him to spend them on ...
The lucky girl series (pt. 2)
The smell of fresh bread is filling the house while it bakes in the other room. I was blessed with a bread maker from a very sweet woman this year. I'm a lucky girl! & I should really make some bread for her soon! ...
The lucky girl series
I am so thankful for the garbage man who comes once a week & hauls away whatever I put out, no questions asked. This morning I filled a bag with expired car seats & couldn't even tie it shut. He just swoops the bag up and tosses it in the truck. After a good month of feeling like I should ...
There’s an App For That
I've had my smartphone for a good part of the year now. There are so many great apps, from educational, to games, to organizational. My most loved app is the Bible. I still much prefer my real bible, however I love the feature of listening to the scripture. Last night before ...
Learning something new.
My friend Jennifer came over last weekend and taught me how to knit. I'm thankful for this new activity, & getting to spend time with her. I'm not sure if it is something I will keep up, but it has been fun to try. As I struggled with how to hold the needles and where to put the yarn, I realized ...
Gloves
While I was driving up town today I felt something poke at my finger inside of the mitten part of my glove. The half glove/half mitten thing was a great invention. I pulled back the mitten to feel inside and see what was poking me, it felt like a piece of wood. I smiled when I realized that yes ...
