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.

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

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

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.

I attended college in Los Angeles and wore black pumps to work every day.
