May 21, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 1 Comment

Every time a t-ball practice is cancelled, the coach gets his wings. Yesterday afternoon, I received the BEST group text ever. No practice tonight and NO GAME on Saturday morning? This is my kinda team! Can I tell you how happy things like this make me? Just…giddy, if we’re being completely honest about it. I […]

Carrie On Parenting: The (New) “Would You Rather” Game

May 18, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 3 Comments

Our friends laugh out loud when they see my husband Jeff and me play Rock-Paper-Scissors in parenting situations. The rules are time-honored: we play the best of three rounds, the winner may not gloat, and the loser must do the assigned task without too much griping. After all, he/she lost it fair and square. We have […]

A Dose of Sweetness, Reality, Humor, and Murder on Mother’s Day

May 10, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all Leave a Comment

You know the Mother’s Day when you get the sleeping late, the spa pedicure, the cut flowers, the showering of gifts, gift cards, and the afternoon nap? I got some (not all) of it. But I totally loved my Mother’s Day, complete with its dose of sweetness, reality, humor, and murder. Yes, MURDER. Sweetness: Breakfast in bed! […]

Y’all, A Versatile Blogger Award Nomination? Yep!

May 6, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 1 Comment

Oh my goodness! Someone thinks I’m versatile (not usually the first, middle, or last thing anyone would normally say about me), so I’m jumping up and down thinking that I might not be so bad after all! My buddy Brandi over at A Girl Named Wanda nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award, and I’m so grateful! […]

Carrie On Parenting: You’ve Gotta Love Childhood Innocence

May 4, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 5 Comments

When the doctor first handed me each of my three children, I couldn’t believe that here in my arms was a perfect, untainted little soul, a sweet baby smell, a head full of soft hair (at least for my kids), and, scarily enough, a blank slate, completely devoid of experience in how the world works […]

Carrie on Parenting: 10 Truths I’ve Learned as a Stay at Home Mom

April 28, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 2 Comments

Two years ago, if you had told me I would be a stay at home mom living in Arkansas, I would have laughed in your face and asked if you’d had your meds this morning. I was days from giving birth to our third child and an 11-year veteran high school English teacher in the Nashville […]

Carrie On Parenting: Worrying WAY TOO EARLY About My Kids’ Spouses?!?

April 14, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 2 Comments

In 2010 at a family reunion, we joyously cut into a “gender reveal” blue cake and officially prepared to welcome our second child into the world. A boy! A little brother for our daughter…nothing could have been more perfect. And then my grandmother looked over at me and said , “You know what they say: […]

It Ain’t Easy Bein’ RWG (Refugees Without Grandparents)

We joined the RWG’s back in 2013 when we moved from middle Tennessee, a mere hour and a half from our three sets of sweet grandparents, to central Arkansas, where those same grandparents who easily made day trips to see us and drove home to sleep in their own beds…must now drive 7.5 hours one […]
