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 sure I knew it.  I felt saddened at her reactions, but forgave anyway & we all hugged each other before the bus came to swoop her up for school.
The smallest boy here is playing in the sandbox with his toes sifting the sand.  He’s wearing just sweats to stay warm.  The sun provideds the rest.
Toy cars are scattered around the floor, signs of my son playing while I rested my tired body this morning.
I have my book in hand, and I’m heading out the door to sit next to him.  I will enjoy the beautiful sunshine before the cold comes tomorrow.
A stick laying in the yard & visit from the neighbor dog just added to the excitement.
A handy neighbor man stops down at my request to look at a door.  Problem is fixed for now with his intelligent thinking.
The man of the house is working a job he loves.  I miss him, but happily wait, cleaning the home for his return.
Supper is in the crock pot, & a movie is reserved for us to watch together tonight.  Time together with him is never wasted time.
This is not a typical January day, but this is a lovely day.

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!
