Car Line Courtesy: Sadly, Not So Common Anymore

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

As a mom of three children, ages 7, 4, and almost 2, I sit in a lot of car lines waiting for my kids. I wait to drop them off, I wait to pick them up, I wait. And wait. I attempt to appease those unlucky kids who are in the back seat also waiting […]

Part 2: Dear Targeted Marketing People, Oops, You Did It Again!

March 26, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 4 Comments

Part 2: Dear Targeted Marketing People, Oops, You Did It Again!

  The other day, I received a comically-inappropriate-for-my-stage-of-life magazine in the mail, and I proceeded to match the magazine’s outfits with my daily activities as a stay-at-home mom to three young kids. I laughed it off as a marketing mistake and moved on. Well, guess what? Another copy of Mercury (not the magazine’s real title) […]

Dear Targeted Marketing People, I Think You’ve Made a Mistake.

March 14, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 7 Comments

When I retrieved the mail the other day, it was the usual bills, coupons, and magazines, but one clothing magazine, which I shall call Mercury (not the magazine’s real title), mystified both my husband Jeff and me. Don’t get me wrong. Years ago, my college Visa and I had an uber-blast ordering from Vickie’s Secret’s hottie college girl […]

Carrie On Parenting: A Gyno-Comedy of Errors

February 24, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 5 Comments

We all dread that yearly appointment…you know the one, ladies. So imagine my horror when I discovered that my husband Jeff, who normally is a prince about child care if I ever have an appointment, would be out of town on a business trip when I attended my first gynecological appointment in almost two years. I am normally […]

A Manifesto of Work That’s Never Done…

February 10, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 4 Comments

    The need to finish. I’m not a huge list-maker, although I’ve been known to make lists and add random things that I have already completed just to cross them off. Similarly, my husband Jeff is recovering from lifelong OCD…I say “recovering” because one cannot possibly maintain a truly OCD level of cleanliness and order and simultaneously […]

The Importance of Morning Mojo: Thursday-10, Carrie-0

February 1, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 1 Comment

You may not have a term for it, but you know exactly what it is: morning mojo. It’s that sweet spot where you can let your kids sleep just long enough, but then when they get up, they have plenty of time to get dressed, strip the bed someone peed on overnight (oh wait…that’s just my house), eat […]

Some Assembly Required: The Doofus Guide to Trampoline Installation

January 20, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 3 Comments

In our backyard, we have what is tantamount to a crop circle. It is an 18-foot circle where the grass hasn’t yet grown back after the Wal-Mart above-ground pool fiasco of 2014 (a story for another day). I look out at that void and think two things: 1. I am SO, SO glad that the […]

Carrie On Parenting: Raise Your Glass to an Unproductive 2015

January 9, 2015 by Carrie On, Y'all 1 Comment

There are many metaphors for the phenomenon I’m experiencing: hamster on the wheel, attempting to climb the slippery slope, two steps forward/three steps back, etc., etc. When it comes right down to it, I’m feeling a little under-appreciated by my family, and A LOT like I might never be a productive member of society again. This has […]

Carrie On Parenting: Sippy Cups in My Wine Fridge

December 21, 2014 by Carrie On, Y'all 2 Comments

“MILK!!!” Sawyer, my youngest who is 19 months old, is learning to talk. He has a few favorite words: mama, no, Good Girl (his name for our dog Lexi), and milk. He yells “Milk!” approximately 88 times per day, and that is where my story begins. I have a cabinet full of sippy cups…they have multiplied, […]

Jobs I’m Now Qualified to Hold After Becoming a Mother

November 20, 2014 by Carrie On, Y'all Leave a Comment

I have been a stay-at-home mom for exactly 18 months now. Though we miss my salary (heehee…I was a high school English teacher, so it’s not like Donald Trump has left the building or anything), Jeff and I both agree that this is the best move for our family right now and for the foreseeable […]
