Nerdy Carrie: I’m Opening a Literary Cocktails Bar

November 12, 2014 by Carrie On, Y'all 1 Comment

Last December, one of my favorite magazines, Reader’s Digest, plugged a great coffee table book that I just had to have. Sadly, Jeff didn’t get the “hinty-hint-hint” (read: lots of shameless hints) that I wanted, nay, needed this book. When it didn’t appear under the Christmas tree, I took matters into my own hands and grabbed […]

Carrie On Parenting: Last Night, I Put Baby in the Corner

November 3, 2014 by Carrie On, Y'all 8 Comments

With apologies to Dirty Dancing fans for this (terrible) borrowing of phrase for reasons completely unrelated to Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray, and with apologies to the patrons of Buffalo Wild Wings in our Arkansas town last night from about 5:05-5:20pm…I humbly submit this post. So last night, we were “those” parents, and Sawyer was […]

The 5 Stages of Supermarket Cart Grief

October 29, 2014 by Carrie On, Y'all 6 Comments

A few months ago, I had a really, really tough day in the grocery store. While I was pushing my cart through the five stages of hell (oh, I meant the canned goods aisle), I considered the stages of my grocery store cart development while parenting. The Baby-Carrier-on-Top-of-the-Cart-Handle Stage:This stage is meant to lure unsuspecting parents into thinking, […]

Carrie On Parenting: Lowering the Crib

October 24, 2014 by Carrie On, Y'all Leave a Comment

Yesterday morning, my almost-18-month-old Sawyer attempted a full gainer dive out of his crib. Lucky for me, I had just gone in his room to wake him up. I was hanging clothes in his little closet a few feet away and was thus able to go horizontal in a move that could only be duplicated on […]

Learning to Climb Onto My Soapbox

October 22, 2014 by Carrie On, Y'all Leave a Comment

Friends, I am nothing if not a good girl. A little wild at times, yes. Fun at parties? Absolutely.  Did my parents, friends’ parents, or teachers ever chastise me for this tastefully well-kept secret that probably everyone in our small town knew? No. Why? They never commented because, for all my fun, party-girl ways, I […]

Carrie On Relocating: The Initial OMG…

October 17, 2014 by Carrie On, Y'all 12 Comments

On May 21, 2013. I was three weeks out of my third C-section, driving Sarah and Tate to school and daycare in our little Nashville suburb while lugging beautiful baby Sawyer in his carrier to get them there. My cell phone rang, and Jeff began the conversation with, “Are you sitting down?” This is not the […]

Carrie On Annoying People: A Tale of Two Mail Carriers

October 16, 2014 by Carrie On, Y'all 8 Comments

I am a friendly person…this is an inherited trait, passed down from many generations of Southern women who know what is best, how everybody should act, and how they should conduct themselves in the presence of others. This leads me to question the conduct of one USPS mail carrier in my new hometown in Arkansas who […]
