We had the good fortune of connecting with Diana Chastain and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Diana, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I wanted to be able to stay with my children as much as possible. We were young when we got married and I was 24 when I had my daughter. Day care wasn’t an option we could afford so staying at home was what we decided was best. I would have stayed being a nanny longer, but I was put on bed rest the last month of my pregnancy. Out of desperation financially, I started my website and have enjoyed my job ever since.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m a blogger and content creator on social media. I don’t consider myself an influencer. I try to provide knowledge about my day-to-day life with my family and hope that it resonates with someone. When life throws us curves, I do share them and hope that it helps someone else out there in the same situation. I share recipes, “words of wisdom”, and what I call Friday funnies.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to Atlantic Station. We could bowl at Bowlero and visit the Museum of Illusions. Maybe go to an Atlanta United game at Mercedes-Benz. Maybe go to Starlight and catch a double feature. Stroll through Piedmont Park and check out the Georgia Aquarium. But I’m a nature girl and love to hike so then we would take a drive over to hike up Stone Mountain once or twice. And then we would definitely go to a show at The Fox Theatre and see what Broadway Atlanta is showing.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shoutout to my husband who I could not have done this without. He has been the financial backer to my dreams and his support means so much more than he knows. I don’t thank him enough, but he is so appreciated.
