During an appearance on Today with Hoda and Jenna, she told the hosts about her morning routine: "The kids go to school, my husband usually takes them. The second they leave I gotta vacuum. I make their beds and check their rooms—make sure there aren't wet towels on the floor."
She continued: "Clean our room, go work out, garden. I'm always cooking something or canning something. I kind of live in the kitchen, making bread or something. And then, before you know it, they're back home, and I cook dinner and we eat as a family."

"It's such a battle, right? Even television," she said. "I notice if they kind of watch too much TV. They have an attitude shift. And I'm like, 'Why are you moody, what are we doing?' Sometimes they learn a lot from different television programs and movies, but it's a struggle."

During an interview on Today’s Country Radio on Apple Music Country, Carried explained: "I don’t want to go to restaurants, I don’t want to travel. I don’t want to go anywhere. I love being at home. I would literally never leave my house.

However, she says her former NHL husband is the opposite and brings her out of her shell.
"He’s got a million friends and we’re always hanging out with them. So yeah, I feel like we balance each other out."
