Sweet Sundays

I forgot to hit publish on this one over a month ago!

~

I’m savoring sweet sweet Sundays with my girls. ❤ Since the sewing machine was still out from last week when my 11yr old son begged to stitch up his favorite sweatpants -bless his frugal heart-, we bought some fabric and started on birthday + Christmas gifts. I thought my plate was too full and I couldn’t take on even an hour of this, but as it turns out, this is just what I needed to feel refreshed.  It also helps that I did 8 loads of laundry and cleaned the kitchen and floors this morning.  Once the momentum starts, it doesn’t stop quickly.

My 32-year old hands love to create and my wandering heart is so happy each time I get another craft-like project started. Lately, I’ve been too busy for creating and it has sucked the joy right out of my journey. No more of that! <- I said out loud. I have to learn to prioritize what matters, and moments like these with my children matter a whole lot.

There’s just something about your oldest child getting a driver’s license that just makes you realize how short a childhood really is.
•
Moms + Dads, don’t waste it, don’t wish it away. Savor it all. ❤  Do the messy stuff, do the things that take a long time, and do the things they ask to do over and over before they stop asking at all.

If only I could go back in time, I think I’d live a few years of my life in a much different way and with greater persistence.  Nevertheless, I’m here, and it’s here and now that I’m listening and creating.

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!
