Rebecca Heid
My name is Rebecca Walden Miller Heid. I am married to Andrew Heid, a traveling production electrician who travels 90-percent of every normal (aka non-Covid shutdown) year. We have two beautiful daughters and are so very blessed in our lives, family, work, and health.
I love living in Chattanooga and making connections here for ourselves and our children. I look forward to sharing more of my family's journey with you! Let’s figure out this motherhood thing together!

Moms Need To Have Their “Thing”
My mother spent an hour or two every other day in a tiny neighbor-owned gym in the middle of nowhere North Georgia. She was often alone, building a muscular body whilst keeping herself sane...
Colors In Our Life
We recently journeyed to Ohio, where we stumbled into gorgeous fall colors I've not seen here in Chattanooga for what feels like a dozen years. For those five days with my cousins, surrounded by...
Chores For Tech
We've been struggling to find a good balance with many aspects of family life lately. However, with our nearly seven-year-old, the most significant hurdles inevitably include technology and attitude, usually with a fair amount...
