Richmondmom.com rocks because it is a consistently viable resource for Mom’s with kids of all ages. I love the reality it offers~the insightful articles, up to date things to do around town and of course, the contests!

Hi Kate,

GREAT job on running, you guys did awsome! Thank you again for the support, t-shirts, photos along this process, It was great fun and hope to do another one soon. I began Rachel’s {Rachel Pustilnik of Stroller Strides} training program with no previous running experience under my belt. I always told myself,” there is no way I can run; it is too hard, difficult and something I am not able to do”. With Rachel’s positive attitude, the group support, this became the key to success. I finished a 10K race; I would have never thought three months ago today, I would be saying I ran 6 miles. What a great accomplishment and what a great confidence booster.

To the team and Rachel, thank you!

Shanna Sonnier {of our 2009 “Run Like a Mother” 10K team}

As a person new to the Richmond area, a mother of three young children, and now a small business owner, one can imagine how crazy life is. I would like to give a big thanks to Kate, from richmondmom.com, for all of her assistance with regards to my business. Not only was Kate truly professional with regards to advertising on richmondmom.com, but she also went out of her way to point out other marketing ideas, and to lend a helping hand. She is prompt to return any calls/emails, and her rates are very affordable. Thanks to richmondmom.com we have not only met our quota clients for this year, but we have over doubled the quota in the first six months! I highly recommend Kate for any of your marketing needs, and richmondmom.com as a place to advertise businesses for mothers, parents, and children.
