it was amazing

Ree Drummond, known to most of us as The Pioneer Woman offers a look into her family and life on the ranch. Born and raised in the city, life is now much different than it was as she was growing up. She lives about an hour drive from any major store and has raised children as her husband, Ladd, raised cattle.

Ree offers a rather humor filled look into her life as a young wife, an older wife, and a mom as well all while talking about her life on a ranch with cowboys and cattle. She shares some embarrassing moments as well as just a look into exactly how she lives her life outside of filming her TV cooking show, writing cookbooks, and all the other projects she has in the works.

She talks about kids, her husband, animals, cowboys, food, and many other subjects that many of us women deal with in our lifetime.

I feel that this book was 5 stars because it kept me interested and it was easy to read. I would recommend it to any wife, mom, or female.

    Thank you so much for your kind comments! I love Ree Drummond, and painted and decorated my entire kitchen with her things and colors. I had been wondering if her book was good, and now I know. I will keep an eye out for it. do you watch her shows? I have them all set to tape, and have made many of her recipes.

      Yes, I do. I have made some of her recipes as well and my kitchen has quite a few things of hers as well. I got a nice skillet for Christmas from my daughter that was from her collection.

    This would be interesting. I enjoy her and I'm sure I'd like to know more about her.

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
