Carrie Underwood shares her secret for staying grounded while raising her children.
“I don’t bring work home with me,” the country star said during an appearance on THE VIEW. “And it is the opposite of what I do everywhere else, like being on stage and being at home. These are two different people, pretty much, and I love that because it’s like they’ll come to shows, and they’ll see me do what I do, and I feel like they’re proud.”
Underwood continued, “But mom makes dinner. I’m usually covered in dirt, or I have farm animals everywhere, or I’m covered in poop or whatever it is. That’s mom, and I hope, more than anything, that’s what they take away from me and that’s what they remember about me. Like she was mom and every once in a while she goes and gets on stage.”
The singer and her family — husband Mike Fisher and sons Isaiah and Jacob — live on a farm just outside of Nashville, where they grow produce and raise livestock.

In a 2023 interview, Underwood shared that she hopes to eventually no longer have to purchase food at the grocery store and instead just live off the land.
“I love that our meals, especially dinner, it’s like you look on our plate and everything on our plates is something that either came from the garden or my husband’s a hunter, you know. The meat is something that he got,” she said. “We eat what we have. We eat seasonally. It all tastes delicious because it’s food.”
Underwood recently updated fans on some new additions to the farm: two lambs, named Magnolia and Murray.
“These mornings are so precious,” she captioned an Instagram video of the lambs. “It took a few days for them to willingly take the bottle…I’m still working on him. Trying to be a good mama to these babies!”
In another post, Underwood drew parallels between her life on the farm and her Christian faith.
“I love praying out loud in the orchard…it’s so beautiful and peaceful,” she wrote last summer. “I was about 15 seconds into my chat when I was surprised by a snake in the blueberry bush. Just a rat snake…nothing dangerous. But he was there…JUST as I began to pray.”
Underwood continued, “It obviously made me think…about God…about the devil. The devil is always there…watching…lurking…even when we feel at our closest with God. Being a Christian isn’t a free ticket out of trouble. The world is full of evil…BUT God is with us.”
For Underwood, life on the farm keeps her grounded and focused on the things that really matter to her.
