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.

Lewis, movie lover, and writer who hopes to change the world.

Yes.
Then you’ve...

An Emoji is Worth a Thousand Words
