Meet Carrie

Hi! I’m Carrie and I don‘t have it all together. I am a busy mom to two crazy kiddos. Being a mother has made every imperfection in my personality come out. Which is why the following is my tagline for life:

A little bit of coffee and a LOT of Jesus helps me get through the day.

I married my college sweetheart and the two of us are often found making each other laugh at our own weird quirks. Quirks you ask. Yes I have lots of them.

Here’s just a few:

I have a slight Chicago (Chic-ahhhhh-go) accent that my hubby loves to point out
I used to be a collegiate track and field runner. Now I’m just lucky to get 2 workouts in a week!
I often wait until the kids are in bed before I break out the really good snacks because I don’t want to share!
I know people by what kind of car they drive {not so much by names}
I call myself a “wanna-be” photographer. I’m in the process of learning how to take awesome shots.
Without my contacts, I’m blind as a bat. Seriously–my eye glasses are as thick as the bottom of a coke bottle!
I was once stopped in security for what appeared to be a marijuana grinder (see that story here)

Meet the other real-life characters in my life:

My hubby my hilarious “partner in crime” is a teacher, a cyclist, and a source of entertainment to those around him. He loves to make people laugh which is one of the many reasons I married him. He often helps me see that I can relax a little and I don’t have to take things so seriously.

I should also mention one important thing. In all my DIY project posts, I talk about “us” doing all the steps. That’s a complete sham. My hubby does 99.9% of all the work on our projects.

My Daughter is a spunky, hilarious-just-like-her-daddy girl who loves to spend time reading and playing with her family.

My Son (aka Sir-screams-a-lot) is my cuter than anything, final addition to our crazy family. He melts my heart and drives me crazy simultaneously. That takes some serious talent!

Here’s a little taste of what you’ll find at Carrie This Home:

There are three main things I love to blog about:

Easy Cooking. I am a self-proclaimed lazy cook that loves finding easy recipes so I can keep up with my busy life.
DIY Projects. My hubby and I spend quality time at the home-improvement store dreaming up of big changes/improvements we can make to our home.
Helpful Tips. I want to give each of my readers something useful to “Carrie” home.
My life and struggles. I’m far from perfect and I love to encourage others to find strength in Jesus.
