Plus: It’s your turn to speak up for education Share with a friend Hey, y’all. It’s Amie. This week marked my eighth year in journalism.

Plus: The creepiest things you’ll find at the Poe Museum in Richmond Share with a friend Hey, y’all. It’s Amie. I swore I’d never tell this story, yet here we are. In 2018, Kody and I went to Baltimore for an epilepsy checkup at Johns Hopkins. He had a morning appointment, so we drove up…

Thank you for trusting us! Share with a friend Hey, y’all. It’s Amie. First of all, y’all ROCK, and I want you to know that! We’ve already reached 30% of our fundraising goal, and that’s all thanks to you.    Something else that I find really cool is that y’all are supportive of us here…

Join the conversation on impactful changes in your community Share with a friend Hey, y’all. It’s Amie.

My kiddo turned a year older; Monster Jam 2036,…

That means I get the privilege…

Share: A map of inclement weather shelters near you Share with a friend Hey, y’all. It’s Amie. I didn’t know what to write about, so I ate a snack instead. I think the world could use a little more honesty. And a smidgeon more marinara sauce.    And coffee. The best cup’s the kind that’s…

Your midweek snapshot of Virginia news Share with a friend Hey, y’all. It’s Amie. When’s the last time you made do with what you had? For us, it was Monday. Kody and I were already off work for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and the prospect of snowfall had us and Colton giddy.   We…

Plus: Stay up-to-date with us as the legislative session gets underway Share with a friend Hey, y’all. It’s Amie. What. A. Week!

Plus: Good news, 757! Share with a friend Hey, y’all. It’s Amie. It was the most monotone “woof” I’d ever heard.
