Getting out of the house alone can make me feel guilty, and the act itself is sometimes physically tough- like preparing everything for my family while I'm gone, plus finding cute clothes, makeup, and a dish to share... Ugh. Sometimes my littles even stand at the door and cry as I back away, ...

Me Time, Mom Style

It never fails. The house is finally quiet, the kids are happily playing together or watching a show side-by-side, and I think, “Yes! Finally, some me time.” But as soon as I step toward the kitchen for a cup of coffee, I spot it...the mess. Ugh. I’m in the thick of raising little people, from two ...

How to Make Baked Potato Soup in the Instant Pot

A few weeks ago I made the best mashed potatoes in the instant pot, and I thought it’d be really easy to turn that into a soup. Turns out, I was right!

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!
