Each Tuesday in February I will be sharing a quick tip here on my blog. Sometimes these will also shared on my Periscope (@abetterwife), Facebook, Instagram or YouTube channels as well, but no matter what they'll always be linked up right back here. Here's a quick little video to showcase one ...
January 26th is National Spouses Day!
Did you know that today is National Spouses Day? It's okay if you didn't, I just heard it on the news about 20 minutes ago! Apparently each year on January 26th, National Spouses Day is observed. While I like to think that in a healthy marriage you'd just honor and celebrate your spouse ...
You Can’t Give it if You Don’t Have it- So Get It!
As I got ready for bed one night this week I walked past this sight, in the middle of my living room floor. Our cat, who we call #slightlybetterbrownie on social media, was checking out the tracks left out by my kiddos. Normally I would've told the kids to clean them up before bed, but I was away ...
Teaching Him To Sew
My little guy is HARD on his clothes. I swear he doesn't mean to be, he just lives life fully. He had been wanting to learn how to sew for quite some time; I always had an excuse as to why he wasn't ready. Really, I wasn't ready. It's work, and the machine was expensive. He was too young, I was ...
3 Mudroom Hacks You Can ACTUALLY Do!
This past fall we were on one of our regular IKEA trips when I found myself wandering areas of the store that I didn't even belong in. My husband caught me in a trance staring at dish drainers. He walks up and says “Why would we want one of those?” He had a point. We’ve lived in this house 10+ years ...
I Picked My Funeral Music at Age 15
In 2001 on my 15th birthday a friend of my parents’ died in a motorcycle accident. He was in another town and on a road that I was unfamiliar with then; he hit a deer and was killed. Now that road is a quick jog from where I’m living and raising my family. I travel that road all the time, and I ...
Those Lights
Sometimes when I leave the house, I feel really inadequate. I almost never feel like I measure up to the people around me. I forget my accomplishments, I forget what it is I do that makes ME who I am. From my home I encourage and teach my children, I cheer on my husband. Through my cell phone I am ...
…Be Present…
Happy Baptism Anniversary to my big kids! That’s right; they get to celebrate the anniversary of their baptism on the brink of a NEW YEAR! Baptism is so sacred and such a truly special thing. The complexity of baptism is something I didn’t fully comprehend until a few years ago. I was embarrassed ...
Finding JOY in my Husband’s Personality: Christmas Break 2015 Edition
Each year around Christmas my husband takes a couple weeks off of work to just “be”. Some years he takes on huge projects, and some years he just fiddles around the house. As a young bride it used to drive me crazy when he’d take all that time off of work and not “DO” anything. I never understood ...
A Toy They All LOVE: Pattern Blocks by Learning Resources
We’re snowed in and enjoying our traditional post-Christmas morning. Ordinarily the kids would all be off in separate rooms happily occupied with their new toys, while Mr. Awesome and I continue trying to assemble whatever hasn’t been put together yet. This post contains affiliate links. Visit ...
