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.

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.

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.

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

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