Blogger at Late Enough Who hasn’t struggled with the thoughts and worries of motherhood culminating in the ever-present phrase: Am I a good mom? How do we know we are doing it right? Whatever “it” is or isn’t or will be after newest research comes out. In being the helpful person that I am, I created a [...]
If you haven’t yet seen this video, you should drop everything (unless you’re holding a baby or something else equally precious) and watch it now. Spoiler alert: it’s your tax dollars, blatantly wasted. This particular GSA event was a lavish, $820,000 boondoggle was at our expense, including $100/per person finger-foods, not to mention the GSA’s [...]
by Crystal Koch Pintac Since the first week of July 2011, our life has been fraught with mistake after mistake (with a whole lot of Life thrown in, too) made by me while D hung in for the ride. There isn’t much that teaches you about the mistakes you make more than watching a preteen [...]
Although I discourage cursing around my children, there is a reason why a very popular book was just written on the very topic I’m going to post briefly on here, with a title that I won’t include here, but surely one you’ve heard. Due to a very busy time [...]

There are many Richmond moms and families who are outraged that this bill was [...]
submitted by Richmond Mom Whitney Fogg April 1 marked the two year anniversary of my miscarriage. I am shocked at how difficult this realization is. The wound is still open and occasionally as fresh as it was that early morning, as I writhed in pain and begged an unmerciful God to let me keep my [...]
Six years ago, my husband and I got our sweet dog Oliver as a companion for our first ‘furr baby’ together, Zeke. They were like our babies before we had our two human babies. When I got him from the pound in Mustang, Oklahoma, Oliver was about as sad a dog as you could find. [...]
So the Easter Bunny (in other words, me) suddenly realized that my tween won’t officially turn into a teen until after Easter. This raises an Easter basket dilemma. You see, although he no longer believes in Santa, the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny, his nine-year old sister does. And so, we have still go [...]
At a much needed girl’s night out recently, some friends and I were lamenting about how little time we have for ourselves these days.
