Red Light Therapy For A Slightly Better Health

10 years ago I would've thought Red Light Therapy was a faux treatment targeted as a luxury placebo effect for wealthy housewives. A scam of sorts. I would've been quick to disregard the benefits or put any time into research for myself. Okay let's be real, even 3 years ago I wouldn't have bought ...

Seasons Change

Ditching Toxins- 1 Year Later

Our God is an AWESOME God! & He's funny too! Doctors are expensive.  We all know this right?  And maybe that's why we avoid them.  I may be the only one who puts off scheduling an appointment because of the cost, but I can't help it. I know that usually you start off with one visit to get ...

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!
