The Eyes to See…

There’s something sacred to me about backyard time with the family.

Tending our garden, admiring the flowers blooming in the bed, watching the littles dig in the sandbox, and sometimes joining them myself.

Snacking on the freshest fruits of my husband’s labor in the garden, smelling the fire burn in the pit, and listening to the gentle crackling of logs cut from my very own brother’s property just two miles East of our home.

Yes, this is truly the ordinary, yet very good, stuff in life.

We all know the one thing we can never get more of is time. As a momma of busy teenagers, I’m going to take this a step further and say TIME TOGETHER with the whole family.

Evenings when we’re all under the same roof, or gathered in the same yard, are about as precious as they come.

Praise Jesus for the eyes to see the ordinary moments of everyday life as the blessings that they truly are.

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!
