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.
