The Brave Little Apple Tree That Weathers The Storms

Let me tell you a little story about this apple tree.

It started off as two trees with their trunks intertwined.

One side died off, and this tree that was left snapped over in a terrible storm years ago.

It went through a tough time learning to stand again.

It took years, and trying different methods of therapy to get it upright.

Truth be told, it still needs a little help and support to not relapse and end up on the ground again, but that’s okay.

Help is here.

No matter the trials this tree has been through and continues to go through when the storms roll in, it STILL PRODUCES GOOD FRUIT.

It has always been filled with an inner beauty that I knew was just below the surface, but today others who once saw this tree in only negative light commented on the flowers and even called it things like “so pretty” and “a good tree”.

Take time to love on the people {and things} that others call difficult, because you never know what kind of beauty might emerge.

Friends, if you’re going through a storm, do.not.give.up. It is okay to seek help. And it’s okay to seek help in multiple places until you find something that works for you, just like this brave little apple tree needed to do.  As long as you’re still trying, I’m positive that you will stand strong again!

Be Brave. Weather the Storm.

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!
