Time Flies When You’re Learning Together

You know the saying, time flies when you’re having fun? Well, it’s true! It’s been such a full season in our home, and I can hardly believe the progress we’ve seen.

A few months ago, we learned that my daughter is dyslexic. At first, that news felt heavy. I cried, I worried, and I wondered how we’d move forward. But then I remembered what I should’ve done right away: let go and let God. Once I shifted my heart toward gratitude, everything started to look different.

We began vision therapy and created a little homeschool room in our home. Step by step, she started to shine. I’ll never forget watching her reread a book she once struggled through in 53 minutes — and then breeze through it in just 24 minutes, with no tears, just joy. My heart nearly burst.

Homeschooling has turned into such a blessing for our family. Even her little brother joins in (with a few distractions here and there 😉), and my husband has loved teaching too. What felt like a struggle at first has drawn us closer together and reminded me again that God’s plans are always good.

Momma, if you’re walking through a challenge with your child, I just want to encourage you: don’t lose heart. Sometimes the very thing that feels overwhelming can turn into one of the sweetest blessings in your family.


Here is a peek into our school room.

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!
