Don’t Give Up Getting Together

In October of 2016, nearly four years ago, I snapped this picture with my camera and jotted down these words down in my journal:

“Adventures!!!! How gorgeous is this sunset bursting through the field of sunflowers? We visited my SIL’s home in the country; The kids ran through the flowers and got to explore the massive fields and trails around their back pond.  We left with tomatillos (which I’d never heard of before today), two bags full of basil to make pesto (& their recipe), watermelon, salsa, long stalks of bright flowers, a few bug bites, great big smiles, and new memories. 

Don’t give up getting together with family. Just don’t. Nothing compares to having them near and sharing stories with them.”

Now more then ever I feel a strong call to not give up getting together.  GATHER THE PEOPLE! Funny story, I put this on a shirt just before many states called for a lockdown due to covid-19.  I spent a week wondering if I’d get in trouble for wearing this.  It was never meant to be a statement to go against government recommendations, it was truly born from my lifelong desire and passion to build community.

Anyway, back to getting together!  It can be a physical meet-up, a family group chat to drop in on (easy to setup- message me if you need help), a weekly (or biweekly) video call with the grandparents and/or cousins, a phone call, or a sweet note sent through the mail.

Whatever it is, however it is, just don’t give up.  We really need each other.

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!
