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

February 10, 2016 by Carrie Tinsley 5 Comments

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 […]

Share.the.Love Kidsclub: A New Way to Play in Conway, Arkansas

While booking my son’s 5th birthday party at Share.the.Love, I was able to sit down with owner Erin Conner to find out about Conway’s newest kid-friendly place to be. When I hear about something cool my three kids and I can do, we try it. Walking into Share.the.Love Kidsclub, a new place for children and […]

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. […]

Pardoning More Turkeys: Carrie On Y’all 2015

Pardoning More Turkeys: Carrie On Y’all 2015

Last year, I became fascinated with the Presidential pardoning of two lucky turkeys who would not, in fact, be executed in the name of feeding some huge family for Thanksgiving. These two fortuitous fowl (a main turkey and a back-up) would instead live out their days being adored, petted, and used as the Grand Marshals […]

10 Times I’m Glad Social Media Wasn’t Around

10 Times I’m Glad Social Media Wasn’t Around

I have this love/hate relationship with social media, as I’m sure we all do. I LOVE seeing friends from the past having babies, posting funny things about their kids or jobs or people who annoy them, and keeping up with the lives of people whom I love but can’t see all the time. As the […]

I Don’t Want to Be Famous: Thoughts on the 49th Annual CMAs

I Don’t Want to Be Famous: Thoughts on the 49th Annual CMAs

Last night, like millions of other people, I watched the 49th Annual CMAs (Country Music Association Awards). Many thoughts ran through my head…Which guy is Florida, and which one is Georgia? Wow, did country-Katy-Perry crash this party? Oh, that’s Kacey Musgraves. Why is Darius Rucker dressed like a Storm Trooper? Can Carrie Underwood be more […]

Why You Should Do a Family Halloween Costume

Why You Should Do a Family Halloween Costume

Halloween is just around the corner, and if your kids are like mine, they’ve been planning for months what costume they’ll don as they zip around the neighborhood ringing doorbells, asking for candy, and being startled by teenagers in gorilla masks. Perhaps you’re a Pinterest mom who is all about having perfect handmade costumes for […]

Targeted Marketing Fail Part 3…This Keeps Happening

Targeted Marketing Fail Part 3…This Keeps Happening

Y’all, it just so happens that, on my ONE-YEAR BLOGIVERSARY (this is a thing…I’ve been writing here for a whole year now!), a little magazine was dropped into my mailbox, and the ridiculous targeted marketing people have somehow missed again. I’m not sure what they believe about my glamorous life here in Arkansas, but I’m not above […]

Carrie on Parenting: Mama Tried

  Despite my Sunday learning, Towards the bad, I kept turning. ‘Til Mama couldn’t hold me anymore. And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole. No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried. Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied. That leaves only me to blame […]
