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!

You Are Not Invisible New Mom. I See You.
It started when I was pregnant with my first child. That excitement and nervousness broiling in my brain and heart as doctors and family members cooed, planned, and coveted the child growing in me....
The Dreaded Tummy Aches
My darling six-year-old is in kindergarten this year. Fingers crossed: she seems relatively content to listen to her teachers, make new friends, and do her work.
I've heard tales of woe and joy from other...
