Get Carried Away: Jumping Off the Hamster Wheel
http://www.get-carried-away.com/2013/10/jumping-off-hamster-wheel.html
Wednesday, October 2, 2013. Jumping Off the Hamster Wheel. I hustle across the AstroTurf in a ragamuffin group of middle-aged women who arise before. The sun to swing Russian kettle bells in the name of fitness. We banter as we “choose our weapons” our trainer teases, and I step to the side to pick one of the larger, heavier bells. 8220;Are you training for something? 8221; one of the ladies asks. That miniscule encounter stuck with me, and it wasn’t until a few weeks later that I realized why....Just be...

Get Carried Away: Weight Loss and Motherhood
http://www.get-carried-away.com/2013/05/weight-loss-and-motherhood.html
Thursday, May 23, 2013. Weight Loss and Motherhood. Sweat and tears and kettlebells and lots and lots of coconut oil and meat and veggies. And all that hard work is paying off. As he has grown from a backpack-toting baby to a dashing toddler, and I've dropped 60 lbs. And counting. Recently I had a realization while trying to brush the teeth of my two-year-old, who was in the midst of a screaming fit (which made trying to brush teeth really fun.). Weight loss is like motherhood. 1 HAVE A SUPPORT SYSTEM.

Get Carried Away: California Coastal Cruise
http://www.get-carried-away.com/2013/04/california-coastal-cruise.html
Saturday, April 20, 2013. Over Spring Break, we took a 7-day California Coastal cruise with about 20 members of my family. It was a great vacation. I was looking forward most to having absolutely no time commitments- no meetings, no set schedule, no decisions bigger than whether to lay out or read. The night before we left, I was sitting on the floor of the kids room amidst a sea of clothing (nothing like packing at the last minute! We embarked (I love that word! After one more relaxing day on the ship, ...

Harris Happenings: Bye Bye Training Wheels!!
http://summirlovin.blogspot.com/2009/10/bye-bye-training-wheels.html
Thursday, October 8, 2009. Bye Bye Training Wheels! Yesterday Joey's training wheels came off his big boy bike. We did a lot of talking about it and put them in the trash together and started working on riding his bike. Today Joey waited very anxiously for the trashman. He waved goodbye to the trashman and his training wheels. Joey and his bike minus the training wheels! Check out this quick learner! Yeah he crashed at the end of the video. He was riding shortly after the crash. View my complete profile.

Harris Happenings: August 2010
http://summirlovin.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 13, 2010. Drownings are hard to hear about. Watch this link: http:/ today.msnbc.msn.com/id/38533071/ns/us news-life/. This makes me so sad. I feel there should be some sort of drastic seriousness about water.maybe I'm missing something. I know there are warning signs about not swimming in dangerous places. I know there are tons of programs across the country getting people of all ages to swim. BUT surely this is not enough. There are lots of drownings. This is wrong on so many levels!

Get Carried Away: Swirling in 2012 Goodness
http://www.get-carried-away.com/2012/12/swirling-in-2012-goodness.html
Sunday, December 30, 2012. Swirling in 2012 Goodness. It's that time of the year. You know, the time AFTER the most wonderful time of the year. That weird week where Christmas music is still playing and we're still pretending like we can still eat whatever we want because its still the holidays and we say, "Hapy New Year! With the same merry-christmas-gusto but it just doesn't sound the same. It's also the time when we reflect on the past year- what was, what could have been, and what will be. Our younge...

Get Carried Away: August 2013
http://www.get-carried-away.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 6, 2013. What is it about birthdays that make me so retrospective? It's like my very own personal New Years resolution do-over opportunity, but with cake. Here's the very start to my Life To Do List. Some of the things I know will never be crossed off, because they are not things I can "master," just get better at every day. Carrie's Life To Do List (just the beginning- not in any order of importance). Travel to Europe with Nick. Volunteer for an organization I truly believe in. Subscribe...

Get Carried Away: February 2014
http://www.get-carried-away.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 3, 2014. It's something I've been thinking about a lot lately. In a good way, not in a you-only-appreciate-something-when-you-don't-have-it kind of way. Lately, Nick and I have been enjoying TED Talks on YouTube. Today, I watched this one-. What special gift do I have that will make this world a better place? I'm going to start by taking the suggestions from the end of this TED Talk on how to create lasting, positive change. 3 Gratitudes- trying to do this at dinnertime with the family.
