School Days: Magnets On an Oil Drip Pan

This sweet boy is independently practicing his 3 letter words.

If you’re like me, you love seeing your kids’ creativity—but your fridge might not love it as much. Scratches, smudges, and clutter can add up fast.

Here’s a simple solution: use a large oil drip pan from Wal-Mart or an auto supply store (about $10). It works perfectly as a magnetic play surface!

The benefits:

  • Keeps your fridge scratch-free

  • Magnets can easily be stored in a tote when not in use

  • The pan can slide behind a piece of furniture, keeping things tidy

  • Kids still get the fun of arranging and playing with magnets

A small change like this keeps your home looking nicer while still letting your little ones be creative. Simple, practical, and stress-free!

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!
