About Us

Mama McWiliams

Mama McWilliams

I am Messy Jessy, the main blogger of our site. I blog about the everyday happenings of my kids, home, and my quest to balance simplicity and chaos.

Just a Blink, the title of my blog, refers to the idea when we take our last breath on Earth, our lives will have seemed like ‘Just a Blink’ of the eye.  Therefore, my heart longs to fuel a family and community life, that keeps an eternal perspective, while living this temporal life to the fullest.

I accept adventurous activities, daily duties and creative challenges with vigor until the lure of distraction takes over. I love photography, nature, creativity, frugal finds, and movies.

Life as I know it inspires me to dream, design and then discuss.

In case you were wondering– My favorite snacks are Swedish Fish,  chocolate covered pretzels and root beer.

The Girl

The Girl

Molly is moody, meticulous and so-much-like-us-we-can’t-stand-it!

She is 50/50 kid with the squared off chin from Peter and the attitude roller coaster from me to prove it!

She loves kitties, chasing Ryan and snuggling on her terms for 10 seconds or less.

She’ll melt the heart of anyone near as long as they are doing what she wants of course.

Her favorite snacks are whatever anyone else is eating.
