Ordinary Moments Challenge: Kitchen

If I were to invite you over to my home the first thing you’d see, no matter which door you enter through, is our kitchen.

It’s the heart of every home, right?

It’s the place I make meals, sometimes from scratch, other times from frozen. It’s where the kids sit at the counter for snacks.

It’s where we do messy science experiments and place papers and mail to be handled later.

It’s the place Chad and I sometimes find ourselves talking to each other after our kids have gone to bed for the evening.

This place needs a “quick tidy” multiple times a day, just ask my kids.

I have such a deep appreciation for the way this space serves us.

It is the place I have learned the most patience as a wife and mother.

It’s the place my little 9-year-old gluten-free girl has created and continues to create, her own recipes with pure joy. Never feeling left out, always empowered by the gift God has given her through her food intolerances. She loves the challenge of making meals and treats that everyone can enjoy.

Our kitchen is ordinary. The messes here are common. It’s the people and their activity that have made it what it is today. It gets messed up, it gets sticky, it gets cleaned again and again, and all the while it provides a space for ample amounts of love, lessons, safety, and entertainment.

If only these walls could talk.

Thank you, @amanda.volsen for helping me see this kitchen with renewed appreciation.

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!
