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

I'm a writer and a photographer - I'm totally aware that doesn't always translate to TV.

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

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.

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

I had been teaching myself photography.
