Should’ve waited in the car

This is what happens when I have to wait 12 minutes inside a gas station to pick up my pizza:
  I blow $3 on king-sized candy bars because they have chocolate and peanut butter in them, AND I buy the biggest size of cinnamon graham cracker cappuccino that they offer; at 8pm.
Which is why in writing to you at nearly midnight.
I only took in 24oz, but I’m guessing I’ve peed more like a couple gallons out due to this sweet drink. 
It had been a long time since I had a cappuccino, and it made me think maybe it has been for you too. So, my advice? Don’t break your streak.
I can’t believe I bought those things and consumed 1/3 of them, after I bragged up my Fitbit telling me I was 3,000+ steps over my goal, & bragging about my jeans fitting better, AND telling myself I’d finally got the vision of what healthy looks like.
My lack of balance is what keeps me humble.

    Yes, we are all human! It's so hard to rationalize what goes on in our head sometimes! Kudos to you for keeping it real!

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!
