Carrie On Parenting: An Ill-Placed Elf on the Shelf Display

Carrie On Parenting: An Ill-Placed Elf on the Shelf Display

Let me start by saying how wonderful Target is and how no mother could live without its giant red carts, crazy good deals, and endless home goods cuteness. However, I witnessed a conversation the other day that Target and Elf on the Shelf folks might want to know about. I dropped all of my kiddos […]

Lobster Murder 101

March 20, 2017 by Carrie Tinsley 1 Comment

Lobster Murder 101

There are few things my husband Jeff enjoys more than a delectable fresh seafood dinner, preferably starring a big, juicy lobster. Long ago, we gave up the idea of going to restaurants that don’t serve us from a drive-thru window. We have three kids, and two of them are wild boys whose idea of a […]

Dear Online Grocery Shopping…Where Have You Been All My Life?

March 15, 2017 by Carrie Tinsley Leave a Comment

Dear Online Grocery Shopping…Where Have You Been All My Life?

Two big box stores in town are now competing for my online grocery shopping business, and I may never darken the door of a store again. Y’ALL. All I had to do was get on the computer and add items to my virtual shopping cart. Did I mention, friends, the cart is virtual? No one is asking to go to the […]

Carrie On Y’all’s Redneck Therapy Session

Carrie On Y’all’s Redneck Therapy Session

People handle stress in many ways…some see counselors or therapists, some exercise, some drink or do drugs. Some people talk about their problems, and others lock their pain away deep inside. To relieve stress, I write, cook, or do something crafty (sometimes with a drink in hand)…  But sometimes I make questionable decisions to lighten […]

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: Make Like Elsa and ‘Let It Go’

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 […]

Carrie On the Holidays: Pardoning a Few Turkeys, Y’all

November 20, 2016 by Carrie On, Y'all 1 Comment

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 […]

5 Reasons I’m Celebrating My Kids’ Independence

5 Reasons I’m Celebrating My Kids’ Independence 

Today, in addition to celebrating the many beautiful freedoms I enjoy as a US citizen, I also want to celebrate the independence my three children (ages nine, five, and three) are gaining. They’re growing up fast, y’all. When America was born, our fledgling nation declared its independence from England. We started our own thing, made our […]

You’ve Still Got It, Mama

You’ve Still Got It, Mama

Someday I’d like to introduce my kids to ME, the ME I was before they were born. That girl was fun. She read and wrote all the time and had dinner with friends in cute bistros. She and her boyfriend (now husband and father to the three kids) got lost on back roads in her […]
