The Ball Player’s Passion

I hope I never forget the way he carries his hooded sweatshirts around on his head, when he doesn’t want to wear them.

Today he teared up because although we have a ramp on our front stairs, we don’t have one for the basement stairs.  This means his best friend who is in a wheel chair right now (broken leg) can come over, but can’t play down in his room. He wishes we never built this stupid house and feels all sorts of angry.  He questioned why we designed the house how we did.  Eventually we talked through it, and came to a resolution.  This boy has passion like no other boy I’ve seen before.

He is a crazy wild 7 year old with a huge heart.

I see his compassion.  I can appreciate the feelings my boy feels, and even more so I appreciate that he shares them with me.

He’s the first on the scene when a friend gets hurt, and doesn’t waste time in getting them care.  He is a do-er.
This boy has my whole heart.
This boy is The Ball Player.

    Right now he is The Ball Player. But I can see in him the potential to be The Doctor, The Minister, The writer, or The Comedian. His potential is only limited by how you see him. How you see all of them. They are a direct reflection of you. Funny how the older we get the wiser we get, if only I had some of these musings when you all were little like he is.

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!
