About LaVender

As creator of MOMSWEB and United States Navy retiree, LaVender Williams, wants only to be recognized as a supporting wife and loving mother.

An Air Traffic Controller for 18 years and a Chaplain's Assistant (Religious Program Specialist) for two years, she is quick to say her role as a mother is the most rewarding and definitely the most demanding position she has ever held.

Adjusting to civilian life wasn't easy. She jumped right into the full-time motherhood role after retirement without missing a beat. "I was literally slapped in the face with the reality of Motherhood."

LaVender's husband, Kevin, plays a major part in We Snap In Silence with his 'old school' ways and ideas on marriage and the roles of wife and husband. She refers to him as her 'high maintenance' hubby and thanks him continually for agreeing to place their marriage in print. There's another name LaVender has for Kevin, but you'll have to read the book to find out his 'aka' identity.

Kevin and LaVender have two sons referred to as Firstborn and Secondborn.  Both boys were homeschooled in their early years, yet Firstborn began public school in his ninth grade year and Secondborn in his seventh grade year.

"Being a mother is my greatest joy and my greatest challenge. I started Momsweb over ten years ago to encourage other mothers on the challenging journey of Motherhood. We all need support!"  What started out as a four page newsletter with a staff of passionate mothers is now an online resource sharing with mothers across the United States.  Momsweb continues to grow and share the reality of the influential role of Motherhood with mothers across the states.

Weekly meditations are sent via email and her blogs on marriage and family are updated frequently and enjoyed by women from all walks of life.
