Amy Mejias
My name is Amy and I am married to my soulmate, and a mother to a sweet and imaginative ten-year-old boy, a funny and cautious preschooler boy, and a smart and independent toddler boy. I have lived in Chattanooga for about 12 years now and I am currently a thirty-something year-old graduate student working on my MSW. I love God, and my family and finding awesome events and experiences around town to enjoy!

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...
