Thankful Thursday- August 17th, 2017

~Thankful Thursday~

I encourage you to set aside time, if not daily, weekly, to FIND JOY.  Even in the tough seasons of life, it’s there.  I swear it. 

My dear friends, I am a truth teller, and I wouldn’t pretend about this.  This simple practice of writing down what you are thankful for can change your life.

I don’t know about you, but I need a change in the worst way right now.

In full disclosure, sometimes the joy flows freely, other times it seems forced, but it is ALWAYS there.  It’s tucked into both the mundane and the magical moments.  Perfectly weaved into the fibers of everyday life.  THE JOY is waiting for you to discover it, smile, and whisper, “Thank you, for this”.


10 Thanks, in no particular order:

  1. Kisses “goodbye”, and the anticipation of kisses “hello”
  2. Warm snuggles with the baby before anyone else awakes
  3. The cheerful “Good Morning, Mama” followed by a running leap into my arms, from the preschooler
  4. The cool breeze coming through the kitchen window, gently blowing the crystal clear water that is streaming from the tap
  5. The smell of freshly brewed coffee. This mom is always thankful for this one, no matter the number of hours spent sleeping, or not sleeping, the night before.
  6. Walking on wet dewy grass to the garden that my husband tends
  7. Picking the freshest vegetables for our breakfast eggs, and chopping the veggies with my good knives, a gift from my guy after a tough surgery a few years ago
  8. God’s protection through all the medical trials and His healing in so many areas of my life
  9. A voice to call out “time to get up” to the yet sleepy kids that have not surfaced into the common areas of the home
  10. A table to gather ‘round

 

All this, and so.much.more.

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!
