Jennifer Davis
Hey, guys, I’m Jennifer. My husband and I had our first kid (Arthur) in 2015, and we’re big fans so far. We’re more or less Chattanooga natives, alternating our free time between watching copious amounts of TV and exploring the city. I consider myself an extroverted introvert (or vice versa) with a Type A-/B+ personality, and my favorite food is tacos. I’m a diehard Harry Potter fan, DisneyWorld enthusiast, devotee of C.S. Lewis, movie lover, and writer who hopes to change the world.

Which Way Is The Exit?
Weeks ago, I responded “Going” to an in-person event, the first indoor event for me in well over a year. The time has come, I thought, to get out in the world and to...
Sometimes You Have to Rock the Boat a Little
Earlier this month, I got a diagnosis for my son that caught me completely off guard. Now, it wasn’t a devastating blow or anything. On the surface, it’s a manageable condition. (I’m being vague...
Skinny Jeans Are So Not Hot Right Now (And That’s Okay)
I’m typing this from the comfort of my bedroom and a loungewear combo that I’ve been wearing pretty much daily for the last year. (I wash it. I’m not gross.) But long before 2020...
Educational Fun in a Small Green Box: My KiwiCo Review
Just before my son’s fifth birthday, I started looking for more experience-based gifts. It’s not that I’m opposed to stuff. I like stuff, and it’s no secret that I’m a fan of Christmas present...
An Open Letter to the Survivors of 2020
Dear reader,
First, let me say that I’m somewhat uncomfortable with the word “survivor,” for a few reasons. Having survived a so-called “good” kind of cancer, I know the weight that such a word carries,...
