I’m going to take my commentor Carolyn’s advice and do a little therapeutic writing. I opened my bloglines reader this morning and clicked on my “interesting” folder. The folder mostly contains personal blogs that I read just for pure fun. I may accidentally learn something while I’m there which is my favorite way to learn. There is something delicious about starting out reading some random article that contains one little gem that catches your eye and leads you on a trail of treasures you didn’t even know existed!

That is how I found Confessions of a Pioneer Woman to begin with. The writer’s name is Ree and she is a self-confessed ” spoiled city girl” who made the transition to “domestic country wife”. She has four kids and calls her husband the Marlboro Man as she blogs and photo-journals life through her eyes. I have laughed every time I have visited her blog and for those of you with a culinary interest she also maintains a cooking blog where she chronicles the recipes with step by step photos of the country dishes she has learned to cook.

This blog is NOT for sissies – the real ranch stuff happens here so visit because it’s worth it but don’t say I didn’t warn you! There are cows, kids, and laughter!
