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.

I'm working on a second cookbook and am working on my love story, 'Black Heels to Tractor Wheels.

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

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

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.

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.
