Late Enough is a humor blog (except when it's serious) written by Alex Iwashyna who went from a B.A. in Philosophy to an M.D. to a SAHM, poet and writer by 30. She writes about life, parenting, marriage, culture, politics and religion.

Alex is a winner of Top 25 Southern Moms - 2012

In what way is the South unique from other places you've lived or traveled?

The South is more friendly (to the point where this transplanted Yankee thought they were just being nosy for about a year). Everyone says hello and how are you and actually waits for an answer.

What outdoor activity do you enjoy doing most with your kids?

We love taking them swimming whether someone's backyard pool or driving out to the beach. There is just something magical about learning to swim and diving the waves.

What's a great destination for a family vacation in the South?

We love Richmond, Virginia, but we are partial because our children are born and raised here. We have history, culture and an amazing intersection of industry and nature, which I find fascinating. Plus, the mountains, the beach and Washington D.C. are only 2 hours away.

What's one of the worst messes your child has made? Please share a link to a photo if you have one.

My oldest got in my spice rack and poured allspice everywhere. But before I got mad, I found my camera and was able to laugh and enjoy how good we smelled and got to be the mom I wanted to be instead.
