Forty

A Slightly Better Wife — Mon, 06 Jul 2026 04:45:43 +0000

My whole family wrote the kindest words in their birthday cards to me today. The fact that they took the time for handwritten notes at all was so thoughtful. BUT, YOU GUYS, the words they wrote just did me in. I am so blessed and take absolutely NONE of this for granted. I became an...

Let Your Yes Be YES and Your No Be NO

A Slightly Better Wife — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 03:27:18 +0000

“All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” -Matthew 5:37 For much of my life, I struggled with being indecisive. Not because I didn’t know what I wanted, but because I hated disappointing people. I wanted everyone to feel loved, included, and appreciated. So instead...

When Good Things Are Ahead: Choosing Faith Over Fear

A Slightly Better Wife — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 03:22:10 +0000

I made myself a Gold Hot Chocolate (my splurge treat because it’s healthy enough & doesn’t spike my blood sugar), then I took some time for silent reflection. A few times over the last week I have found myself getting excited about all this year, 2026, might have to offer. Carter’s graduation 🎉, my 40th...

The 5 Minute Comparison Game

A Slightly Better Wife — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:01:00 +0000

Fact: I want to keep growing. I want to keep improving myself, my home, my relationships, really, everything God has entrusted to me, for as long as I’m living. One of the best ways I’ve found to do that is by spending time in God’s Word. Now, that doesn’t always mean sitting down with my...

Grandma Edna’s Red Velvet-Inspired Cake

A Slightly Better Wife — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 12:24:00 +0000

Last week, I whipped up a “tried and true” recipe from my grandma Edna’s binder of treasures for a friend’s birthday. There’s something so comforting about baking from recipes passed down through generations, isn’t there? After the cake cooled, I grabbed a glass and cut it into perfect little circles, placing them in the bottom...

Living a Life of Love and Legacy

A Slightly Better Wife — Sat, 04 Oct 2025 10:20:00 +0000

In 2001, on my 15th birthday, a friend of my parents was killed in a motorcycle accident. He hit a deer on a road I’d never traveled before. Back then it was just another town and just another road to me. But now, that road is a quick jog from where I’m living and raising...

Redeeming The Time

A Slightly Better Wife — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 13:53:58 +0000

Let’s dive into Ephesians 5:16 today. I have this verse on one of my calendars in our foyer, because it carries so much value for me. In the King James version this verse says: “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”In the ESV translation, which can be easier to read, it says: “Making the...

Be Kind

A Slightly Better Wife — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 07:41:00 +0000

While out shopping tonight, I met a woman who had just lost her mother-in-law and was preparing for the funeral next week. I didn’t ask for her name. We simply talked for a few minutes, I hugged her, and then we went our separate ways. That was it. Her story stayed with me. I tried...

11 Years with a Menstrual Cup: My Honest Thoughts

A Slightly Better Wife — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 02:05:00 +0000

I can’t believe it’s been just over 11 years since I first switched from tampons and pads to using a menstrual cup. At the time, it felt all kinds of “crunchy,” & “holistic” which were odd back then in the circles I ran in. Honestly a little scary and I was super freaked...
