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

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.

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

I hate to play the I-live-in-the-country card, but it really takes all of the 'pack the kids into the car and run from here to there' out of the equation.

Knowing what I'll write about and what I won't has never really been a problem. I won't write about things that bore me.

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

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.
