Memories For My Baby Girl: Daddy Twirls You Around the Kitchen

My memory may fail me at some point.  I know this, because it has before.  This little blog is not only my place to encourage others, but to chronicle my thoughts and store my memories, in case I ever forget these sweet moments.  I have no idea how long my posts will stay on the internet.  It’s my hope that someday my children can see these and know they were so very cherished.
This Thankful Thursday is dedicated to my amazing husband.  He does so much to help me keep this house running smooth, clothes on our backs, and food in our bellies.  I thank him for those things, although I don’t say it nearly enough.
The thing I want to thank him for today though, is dancing with our daughters and rocking around the kitchen with our son.
 I’m blessed to have a fun husband, even if sometimes that means I feel inadequate for being the party pooper.
They really would listen to music and dance all night if I weren’t here to stop them and call for bed time.
Our youngest loves to shout “let’s dance!” in the bathtub with her duckies.  She then giggles and twirls them, or stirs the water to make the little plastic duckies dance.  The ducks are dressed as a bride and groom (a gift from my brother and sister-in-law around the time of their wedding).
Even more special is when that same little girl runs into the kitchen and asks her daddy to dance.
“Dance?” She says with a smile and her hand held out high to meet his.
And even more special than THAT will be the day he twirls her around the dance floor at her wedding reception.  We’re in no hurry, and I’ll savor each day between now and then.  I am still greatly looking forward to that day though.
You see, these moments are special and great, and I love every bit of it.  You know what though? I know there is far greater to come.  What a great promise to believe in.
Greater things are yet to come.

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!
