The Mom-Olympics: Settling “Mompetition” Once and for All

The Mom-Olympics: Settling “Mompetition” Once and for All

  Okay, moms, you know it’s out there. Mompetition. It’s a noun. It’s that guilt, that urge you feel when someone is mothering their little progeny better/craftier/more patiently/cuter/WTH…did they just step out of a magazine…than you are. Mompete is a (sort of) verb. It’s the time when you choose to craft/cook/volunteer/say yes…against all better judgment because you don’t want […]

To the Parents on the Sidelines at Kids’ Sports…

To the Parents on the Sidelines at Kids’ Sports…

  Recently at my son’s baseball park, I broke up the argument (near-fistfight) of two dads whose panties were in a wad about something that had happened on the field during their 6-year-old sons’ game. I told them they could beat each other silly, but to please take it to the parking lot so every kid within a […]

Give It Up, People: A Call for Anti-Resolutions

December 31, 2016 by Carrie On, Y'all Leave a Comment

Happy 2017, everyone. As “that time for resolutions” has rolled around again, I sincerely hate discussing all my promises to myself that “this is gonna be the year.” I am a liar. I can lie to my children without batting an eye: “Mommy sends Santa a monthly report, and this is going in it.” “We’re leaving.” […]

Carrie On the Holidays: In Every Single Thing

Carrie On the Holidays: In Every Single Thing

Years ago at church, our pastor showed a video during his sermon that a simple 8-note scale contained the best news in the world. That image has stuck with me, a piano-dropout myself from years ago. The narrator ignores his mother’s gentle attempt to bring him into the world of piano, and like every piano dropout […]

Carrie On the Holidays: Make Like Elsa and ‘Let It Go’

My family has a million Christmas traditions, dating as far back as I can remember. There are holiday traditions that I treasure and will always perpetuate, and there are traditions that, because of necessity, geography, having small children, and…time, have subsided a bit. It’s not that these traditions aren’t important to me, or that I’ll […]

Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! It’s that time again…to give thanks for all that we have, watch a lot of football, enjoy our families (of course, until 6pm on Thursday when all the pre-Black Friday mania begins…ugh), and eat some turkey. A couple of very lucky turkeys in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday will receive an official Presidential […]

Carrie On the Holidays: Bring On the Cheesy Christmas Movies, Hallmark.

Ellen: You set standards that no family activity can live up to. Clark: When have I ever done that? Ellen: Parties, weddings, anniversaries, funerals, holidays, vacations, graduations… –National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989) So the Christmas spirit has caught me a little early this year. We’ve been to a Christmas event at church, had hot chocolate, pulled […]

Retired Arkansas Home Builder Assaulted by Blogger Tired of Mopping White Floors

I have mentioned before that I’m not a cleaner. But today, I am briefly going to share my frustration at possibly the worst home décor choice in the free world: white floors. Behold my kitchen. It’s amazing, right? We bought this house in 2013, and when I saw the kitchen, it was love at first […]

Carrie: Giving Bad Home Haircuts Since 1988

This is a picture of me when I turned 10. I’m looking down at my birthday cake, and my bangs are well shorter than society or style recommended, even for 1988. This was a running theme throughout my childhood. When my bangs got too long for my taste, I would sneak into my parents’ bathroom, […]

Carrie On Parenting: Tales of a Preschool Convict

I am the worst mother in the world. Tate no longer loves me. He wishes I would go away on a green dinosaur and never come back. I know, you’re wondering what could possibly cause such a drastic reaction in such a usually good kid. Well, I wouldn’t let him have a Capri Sun with […]
