Praise for Carrie's Writing


"Carrie's 'Growth Spurts' column, which ran inย Parents & Kids Magazineย for nearly a decade,ย could make you laugh and cry (sometimes at the same time) but always rang true and always had a bit of wisdom for our readers. She consistently provided parents with anecdotes from her family life, which ultimately led to beautiful, and sometimes difficult, lessons learned."

"When reading about Carrie's next mom revelation, you end up reliving it yourself. It is quite the experience. There are tears, there is laughter... Next come the personal observations floating to the surface, and, of course, the necessary reevaluation of your own experiences with loved ones. And then, undeniably, there is the encouragement - the most delightful part, the icing on the cake, the reminder every tired, sleep-deprived, and overwhelmed mama needs to hear."
