Happy Birthday, Granny

My mom, who my kids call Granny, got to have a house full of joy, noise, crafts, and excitement for her 63rd birthday weekend.

The kids told me they stayed up “really late” each night, had gluten-free @oreo and Grandpa’s amazing pancakes for breakfast, and got to play in the same backyard that I did as a child. 

I don’t share much about it because I’ve hoped it would improve and go away, but for the last few years my mom has endured a mystery lung disease that has significantly changed her life. It was never in her plans to have an oxygen cord attached to her face 24/7 and for ordinary daily tasks to become such a chore.  While she still has the same spirit, her endurance and vitality have changed.

We always #CelebrateAbsolutelyEverything
but after the year I’ve had and what she’s going through, it means a little more to me.

This Christmas I ask that as you are gathering with your families and your friends, that you would take pictures. Lots and lots of pictures.

Someday, they may be all you have, so please don’t worry that they are social media worthy.

The point is not to take pictures to post, rather to take pictures for your future self to look back on.

PS. Don’t ever say a bad word about your appearance in a photo, you were created by God, who makes everything beautiful.

Prayers for Granny are always appreciated. 🙏

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!
