Chattanooga Moms

Being a teen mom, I wanted to do everything correctly from pregnancy on. Oh, how those plans for perfection fell short a dozen times over. My first born might have been the subject of many a “figuring out” with...

Long before I became a mother, I was writer and blogger. I was also a sanctimommy. (I realize this is rich, coming from me, a mommy blogger.) I had a LOT of preconceived notions about what motherhood was like...

A little background: I am a mom to four boys, ages 12, 10, seven, and four. I homeschool them. We have no family nearby, and childcare is 100% up to my husband and me. I work part-time as a...
