Odds & Ends

Odds & Ends

Oh, my friends, my friends.  There has been so much happening around the Williby homestead lately!  It’s been a lot of driving here there and everywhere with a hefty side of teenagers be crazy and a soupcon of Mama’s losing her dang mind. BUT!  That […]

The “Joys” of Being 41

The “Joys” of Being 41

I am 41 years and 3-ish months old and I’m kind of over it, thanks. Turning 40 was freaking amazing.  I really, truly mean that 100%.  There was this awesome party!  People go out of their way to tell you happy birthday, you look fantastic, […]

Where’s My Blue Flame?

Where’s My Blue Flame?

Last month, in my own personal read-a-thon of sorts, I read One Beautiful Dream.  This book by ingenious Catholic author and radio show host Jennifer Fulwiler certainly gave me a lot to think about! Now, if you follow Catholic Twitter or Instagram at all, you’ll have seen […]

My Offering

My Offering

As I was riding in the car the other day, Ike Ndolo‘s song, Offering, popped up on Spotify.  As I listened with one ear and used most of my concentration supervising my teenaged chauffeur, one line really jumped out at me. Jesus, bread of life, bread […]

Giving Arbonne a Whirl

Giving Arbonne a Whirl

I’ll admit it.  I’m a bit of a serial monogamist when it comes to my skincare and makeup routines.  Every so often, I find that one amazing new product that I absolutely love and then it’s all I use for the next one to five […]

Golly.  I look at that picture and how put-together we all appear and it makes me want to simultaneously laugh and cry. It makes me laugh because of how uncharacteristically serene we all seem!  Never, ever do I get all dolled up and sit sedately […]

Deep Thoughts from Mom’s Sick Bed

Deep Thoughts from Mom’s Sick Bed

Heaven help me, y’all.  I’ve been sick.  Congestion, cough, drippy nose…the whole nine yards.  And for the first time in years – years, I tell you! – I ran a fever.  And all I can say about that is I really hope it’s the last […]

Trendsend Review #1 — Shoot for the Stars!

Trendsend Review #1 — Shoot for the Stars!

This month, I jumped on the subscription box bandwagon when I signed up for Trendsend by Evereve.  I love clothes and looking cute, but shopping is kind of a pain.  Conditions have to be pretty much perfect for me to actually go anywhere, shop for, […]

Beauty Must-Haves for the Lazy Mama

Beauty Must-Haves for the Lazy Mama

Hair & Makeup Must Haves! There are two things you may or may not know about me. I am high maintenance with my hair and makeup, but I like a simple look. I tend to be rather lazy. Yeah, I know.  It’s a strange dichotomy.  […]

Laundry Haiku

Laundry Haiku

Laundry. Bane of every mom’s existence. Unending source of work. A job that can literally never get done. This is the job that never ends… Seriously. Unless you and your family are going to run around completely naked for a couple of days (which, believe […]
