Amy Mejias
My name is Amy and I am a wife to an amazing husband, and a mother to a sweet and imaginative eight-year-old boy and a very smart and curious toddler, and a sweet and happy little baby boy. I have lived in Chattanooga for about 10 years now and I am currently a thirty-something year-old University Student majoring in Psychology and minoring in Sociology. I love God, and my family and finding awesome events and experiences around town to enjoy!

Pre-COVID era, I absolutely loved taking my boys to any fun and free events around town, particularly the Lowe’s DIY Kids Workshop and JCPenney Kids Zone. Then the pandemic started and no more fun...
The Midnight Hour
Around 9pm is bedtime. I get the kids tucked into bed and fast asleep, and I finally get some time to myself. I know I should just go to bed when they do, but...
My Post-Pregnancy Weight Loss Adventures
I am always jealous of the women who gain only the recommended 15 to 20 pounds during pregnancy, have their baby, and are back to their pre-pregnancy bodies after a week. That is definitely...
A Busy Mom’s 3-Minute Makeup Routine
I like the idea of makeup. I find myself often buying new eye shadows and lipsticks, though I very rarely end up using them. I am a mom of three boys, an...
The Struggle of Being a Scrunchy Mom
After having my now sixteen-month-old, I joined a few different “crunchy” mom groups because that is what I thought I was. I joined these groups because I felt often judged and alone in the...
