I love black leggings with cowboy (I mean cowgirl!) boots, and other-slightly less trendy-things like my boys' Wrangler jeans and my husband's worn deerskin work gloves. I love most things country, because country, to me, is home.

I had been teaching myself photography.

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

Ninety-five percent of the time when I run a contest I've purchased the giveaway prizes with advertising money.

I want people to see how hard my husband and kids work on the ranch.
