Danielle Guess
“Chattanooga is something you can have any way you want it…” I am so blessed to share this city with my three children: Dallas (13), Lillie-Mae (9), and Mindy (8). We enjoy the mountains and the valleys that make up the geography of our city as well as the metaphor they stand for in our lives. Always on an adventure in parenting, I look forward to each new day given with them. Follow along with our antics on Instagram @amomsbestguess and here as we share our city/country living love with you.

You see a tiny toddler pitching a fit; a pre-teen rolling their eyes; a teenager spinning their car tires after you shortened their curfew by thirty minutes. “You better enjoy this now. Because soon...
Succession of Genders
I’m fully aware that some women may never have thought through what the gender of their baby would be. As a little bit of a deep thinker, I remember pondering the gender of my...
Minimalism with Children
“What I thought minimalism looked like versus what it is really.”
