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.

When Life Throws Lemons at Your Face
I always loved going back to school. During summer break, I counted down the days until classes started up again, no matter how old I was or what I was going to school for....
Knee-Deep in Dishes: Life as a WAHM
I've been working from home as a freelance writer for a little over four years, and in that time, I've learned two things (okay, a lot of things): It's awesome, and it's terrible. When...
