10 Things I Want to Say to People on House Hunters

April 19, 2016 by Carrie Tinsley 5 Comments

10 Things I Want to Say to People on House Hunters

My husband and I love HGTV. We sit around at night after the kids have gone to bed, drink a few beers, and make snarky comments about the unendingly picky, weird people HGTV finds to be on its flagship program House Hunters. Honestly, these people aren’t all bad, but we have invented a House Hunters […]

5 Reasons He Loves The Masters, Girls

5 Reasons He Loves The Masters, Girls

After extensive research (my friends and their husbands), I’ve come to the very unscientific conclusion that most women don’t like golf. Before all you golf club-toting divas pin my ears back with how much you love golf, let me say…I love it, too. I don’t enjoy playing golf…I’m way too impatient to have ever been […]

The Stairs

April 6, 2016 by Carrie Tinsley 1 Comment

The Stairs

I have no idea if the stairs in my home are architecturally holding up my house. But they are the center of our home, quite literally, sometimes figuratively. Situated right in the middle of our house are sixteen steps which I trudge up and down every single day. The stairs are a catch-all. When I’m […]

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, […]

We Are All THAT MOM

February 25, 2016 by Carrie Tinsley 2 Comments

We Are All THAT MOM

 When I began writing about motherhood and my small and not-so-small stumbles along the way, a beautiful thing happened. Instead of the “laugh with me” attitude I expected from everyone atop their perfect motherhood mountains, I received “Me too’s.” Your kid dressed as a Disney princess for four months straight? Me, too. Your kid talks […]

Living in Tiny Houses with Children

Living in Tiny Houses with Children

If you are an HGTV fan (I am obsessed), then you’ve no doubt been alerted to the tiny house craze that is sweeping the country. Nomads and down-sizers everywhere are selling their suburban sprawls and moving into the most adorably constructed dwellings on the planet. I’m not gonna lie. As a non-cleaner, I’m on board […]

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 […]

Santa Baby: The Mom Version

December 24, 2015 by Carrie Tinsley 3 Comments

Santa Baby: The Mom Version

Okay, y’all. There is a radio station in Little Rock that starts playing Christmas carols on November 1. Naturally, I’ve been listening since then. I have heard Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby” approximately two million times, and I’m pretty sure she has it wrong. I don’t need a yacht. Or the deed to a platinum mine. […]
