The truth of the matter is that I live on an isolated cattle ranch in the middle of Oklahoma and that's not going to change.

Now I live in the middle of nowhere on a working cattle ranch.

I'm a thirty-something ranch wife, mother of four, moderately agoraphobic middle child who grew up on a golf course in the city.

It never occurred to me that I was going to have to talk to a camera. I don't know if I can do this.

My days are spent wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans, and frying calf nuts.

I've set aside a nice chunk of my advertising revenue each month for giveaways, like a KitchenAid mixer. I like buying them for the audience, because without the audience I wouldn't have the blog or the revenue in the first place.
