New York Times bestseller
A down-to-earth, hilarious collection of stories and musings on
marriage, motherhood, and country life from the #1 New York
Times bestselling author and star of the Food Network show
The Pioneer Woman**, Ree Drummond.**
Once upon a time, I lost my marbles and married a sexy, Wrangler-wearing
cowboy named Ladd. That single decision would wind up setting the stage
for years of rural adventures (and misadventures), and while I can't
imagine my life being any different, raising a family in the "idyllic"
countryside has not been without a few bumps in the road. (Or were those
cow patties? It's hard to tell the difference sometimes.)
I'm excited to share this crazy collection of true stories from my
full-of-energy, hard-to-tame, wonderfully wild (and very weird) frontier
family. From the unique challenges of being married to a rancher to the
blood, sweat, mud, and tears of raising country kids, I'll pull back the
curtain and let you in on some of the sh*t and shenanigans that have
really gone on here on Drummond Ranch over the past two-plus decades.
You'll learn about marital spats, run-ins with wildlife, ER visits, my
parenting neuroses, triumphs, tribulations, love, loss . . . and how
manure has somehow managed to weave its way through all of it. To keep
things up to the minute, you'll also hear about more recent family
developments that have tested my sanity and pushed me to the brink. (And
pleasantly surprised me, too.)
This book is both a love letter and a laugh letter, and I hope you get a
big kick out of it all: the good, the bad, and the dirty. Mostly, I hope
it demonstrates how much I adore this family of mine . . . even if I
sometimes have to use rubber snakes to show it.
