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 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.

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.

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

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

As The Pioneer Woman has grown and the revenue has grown, the prizes keep getting better, and that certainly feels good.

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