Top 5 {EASY} Ways To Cheer Up, Buttercup!

Soaking up Vitamin D and getting in a little workout on Clubhouse Lake in Marcell, MN.
  1. Get Dressed! If you’re reading this in your jammies and it’s not pitch black outside you should get dressed. If you’re reading this in yoga pants, but you have zero plans to actually work out today, please get dressed.
  2. Eat Real Food for 24 hours (longer is better). I’m talking about eating good food, you know, the kind that is good for your physical health, not just your emotional health. Spend a day eating only “real food”. Think to yourself, “does it grow this way?” If yes, eat it! Research the brain-gut connection and I’ll bet you’ll have no trouble giving up (or cutting way back) on processed food.
  3. Drink More. Water that is. Every single part of your body needs good plain water to function well. Just don’t skimp on your water consumption, okay? If you want to be a water snob (like me), consider investing in a Berkey Water Filter for optimal health benefits.
  4. Soak Up Some Vitamin D. Spend 10 minutes outside each day. You could take a quick walk, pull some weeds, or just sit on your front step and take some deep breaths of fresh air. If you aren’t able to do this each day, or you want a surefire way to keep your Vitamin D levels up, I highly suggest taking a drop or two of Vitamin D on your tongue each day. My favorite is Nature’s Answer Vitamin D-3 Drops.
  5. Read Good Words. Stop mindlessly scrolling, or purposely debating online– if that’s been your thing. Pick up a real book, or download a Kindle book. Better yet, grab out a Bible and spend even a few minutes a day reading. What you put before your eyes is SO important for your mind.

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!
