My Website Dream

I'll get back to more handmade gifts tomorrow, for today I just had to share my favorite blog/website right now. Some of you are probably familiar with it already.
It is
www.thepioneerwoman.com This is the kind of site I want to have someday.

Here is her bio information that I find myself reading again sometimes because I simply love this woman. She is pretty well known; on her last blog giveaway, she had almost 12,0000 entries.


Howdy. I’m Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman. Welcome to my frontier!
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 attended college in Los Angeles and wore black pumps to work every day. I ate sushi and treated myself to pedicures on a semi-regular basis. I even kissed
James Garner in an elevator once. Then, on a brief trip to my hometown, I met and fell in love with a rugged cattle rancher. Now I live in the middle of nowhere on a working cattle ranch. My days are spent wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans, and frying calf nuts. I have no idea how I got here…but you know what? I love it. Don’t tell anyone.
I hope you enjoy my website, ThePioneerWoman.com. Here, I write about my decade-long transition from spoiled city girl to domestic country wife. I post photos of cows, horses, and my four weird children, and frequently include shots of cowboys wearing chaps.
In my Photography section, I include
Photography and Photoshop tutorials. In my Cooking section, I post step-by-step photos of all the cowboy-friendly dishes I’ve taught myself to cook through the years, and in Home & Garden, I chronicle the start-to-finish remodeling project of an old guest house on our ranch. In my spare time, I also manage to write, take pictures of nature, and compose ridiculous poetry in an effort to chronicle this bizarre, beautiful, and often hilarious journey I’m on.


What I like the best about her site is the photography advice she and her contributors give in easy to understand instructions. Her pictures are beautiful and she is self taught, and they definitely inspire me to keep on learning about photography (my most enjoyable hobby). She is the kind of lady you want to take a long walk with and learn about life. Whenever I read her entries and look at her photos, I think we are destined to be friends.......well, maybe some day.

Okay, enough about my favorite blog site! Take a peek for yourself.

I hope someone inspires you today to do something new, take a chance, learn something, and live the life you're dreaming of.
