Walk With the Wise

Earlier this week I returned to my hometown and took this little snapshot of the neighborhood I grew up in. Walking this sidewalk, especially during autumn, just feels like “home”. I was lucky to grow up in a neighborhood with “good kids” and a neighbor mom with a heart of gold, but who also wasn’t afraid to gently and lovingly correct me or send me home if I was out of line (which was often). I’m so grateful for that. It’s my hope that this little slice of heaven on a Earth, the neighborhood where we live now, will be a place where more “good kids” are raised.
▪
Be good, friends. Be good, and honest, and loving, and expect others around you to be the same. And you know what? If you’ve done all you can and your friends still make you feel like poo, or regularly disappoint you… Pray over it, and move on.
▪
Yes, moving on can be hard, but it can also be so so good.
▪
Who you surround yourself with MATTERS, because you MATTER!
▪
In case no one has told you lately, you are loved, you are precious, you are important.
▪
I love you, and I’m so glad to have you here. This little piece of the web is my home, and you my dear friends, can always come back home.

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!
