Hi Mamas -

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀 🌈 💚

If we had a little extra luck this year, it might look like more time, fewer calendar conflicts, and maybe someone else packing the lunches…or at least remembering it’s “green day” at school before 10pm the night before.

But since we’re all carrying a lot (and occasionally realizing the permission slip was due yesterday), we’re here with this month’s Carry List—our roundup of the things we shared, loved, and talked about recently.

Before we dive in, a quick reminder: in April, THE CARRY™ ALL will be moving to a new home on Substack. We’re excited about what this next chapter will allow us to build together: more connection, more conversation, and more ways for this community to interact with each other.

And because we want to build that space thoughtfully, keep an eye on your inbox later this week for a short survey. We want to hear from you. This has always been something we do for you, but we want to shape it with you, too.

Drumroll, please 🥁… we’re not carrying it all, but here’s what’s helped lighten the load lately.

Enjoy!
-The Carry™ Team

 📚 ^{BOOK (Carry Community Rec!) — Care for This Love by Hope Snyder}

After catching her boyfriend in a devastating lie, Tia Lopez leaves DC behind for a fresh start in sunny San Diego with one goal: focus on herself and swear off relationships for good. But when she meets Cole, a kind-hearted Navy corpsman, she begins to question everything she thought she believed about love. This sweet, closed-door romance delivers small-town charm, second chances, and just enough sparks to keep you turning the pages.

“A step backward, after making a wrong turn, is a step in the right direction.” Kurt Vonnegut

Between work, parenting, and everything in between, it’s easy to feel like we should always be moving forward. But progress isn’t always linear. Sometimes the bravest move is admitting something isn’t working and choosing a different path…even if that step feels like going backward at first.

Between the video and the comments, surely it will at least give you a chuckle - a big sister meeting her big brother for the first time.

The Trader Joe’s frozen meals we rely on for “I have 14 minutes to make dinner” nights are part of a massive recall because they might contain glass. Cool cool cool. Check the list if you’re a Trader Joe’s shopper!

This piece from Behavioral Scientist asks a question we don’t hear enough: what if our obsession with speed is actually making us… less intelligent?

We’ve built entire workplaces around faster replies, faster decisions, faster everything. But the article argues that constant urgency leaves less room for the kind of slow thinking that leads to creativity, insight, and better decisions in the first place.

In other words, maybe the smartest thing we could do is slow down a little.

Worth the read if you’ve ever felt like the pace of modern work is working against your brain.

Splurge: The viral Anthropologie jean shorts everyone raves about are the perfect relaxed, vintage-style cutoffs.

Save: Target currently has a nearly identical pair making the rounds for under $30, with the same vibe.

The verdict: If you want premium denim and a forever pair, go Anthro. But the Target version is a solid dupe that saves you over $100.

BONUS: Did you see Sophia Wilson? She’s back 6 months after giving birth and kicked ass.

Motherhood makes us better, stronger, more efficient, more courageous, more empathetic, and more visionary leaders. Period. 🔥
