Cowboys, kids, and ranch life

  • The Hand That Feeds U.S.

    The Hand That Feeds U.S. is an agricultural resource that provides accurate information about agriculture for urban media and strives to clarify misinformation regarding U.S. agriculture, farming practices, farm policy, and biofuels.

  • Shopping the Old Fashioned Way at Motive Parts

    Motive Parts is a store especially designed for the rancher. It’s the perfect place for a man to do his shopping because he can pick up his ranch supplies and buy Christmas presents for his family; provided his wife likes Carhartt clothing and he does any Christmas shopping. There is no other place where a…

  • Tis The Season to be Hairy

    Biting wind and freezing temperatures forewarn me it’s going to happen, but when my husband decides to grow a beard, it takes me a while to warm up to the idea. I’m often resistant to the changes of his facial hair even though I like the end result. By the time I get used to…

  • I’m A Cruel Girl

    Actually, being a cruel girl is not my thing, but it is the brand of jeans I like to wear.   The first pair of Cruel Girl jeans I bought didn’t impress me. The denim failed to hold up after a year and I didn’t plan to buy another pair. It wasn’t until I started…

  • Man’s Best Soap

    My most recent column is about Lava soap. I give a humorous perspective on Lava, or man soap as I refer to it in my column. I had originally planned to do a blog post about Lava soap but came up with enough material that I decided to use it for a column. It should…

  • Krafting Food for Family

    Many of my best meal ideas, desserts and appetizers come from Kraft Food & Family magazine.  It comes out four times a year but all of Kraft Food & Family’s recipes are online. It’s one of my favorite recipe sources. I subscribe to this cooking magazine mostly because I’m really immature and like finding stuff in…
