The Road Rage is Here
Sometimes it’s just unavoidable: we have to drive cattle down the road.     Unfortunately, there are people on this earth who actually want to drive down this same road. It takes them where they need to go, you see. Roads are funny that way.   Some of them ...

His Element
We worked cattle right before we left, and I brought these photos along with me.     I miss the ranch, but the trip is going really well. My oldest boy is having fun checking in and out of hotels, riding escalators and elevators, and eating in restaurants.      ...

Everything’s Up to Date
Kansas City was wonderful. A local independent bookseller, Rainy Day Books , organized two signings there, which meant I had to rein in my agoraphobic tendencies twice in the same 24-hour period. In addition, I had to take two showers, apply deodorant two times, and try twice as hard not to ...

Wishing We’d Worked on Penmanship Skills
This was an unexpected development. Had I known my boys’ penmanship would come into play on this book trip, I might’ve spent a few weeks drilling before we left. But at least I can tell myself the following: 1. They’re boys. 2. They don’t have much practice ...

The One That Got Away
Before I continue with today’s posting, I thought I’d provide you a little glimpse into the world of Taking Your Two Young Sons To Your Book Signing Events. Have you ever visited? It’s a cold, dark, frightening land filled with hidden dangers and terrors everywhere you ...

Monday Morning Cow
  I have things to say.   So please…lend me your ears. Ear. Whatever. Incidentally, did you know that famous speech by Mark Antony is one of the most well-known examples of rhetoric? So glad I could be here for you this morning.   I have so many things ...

Excitement in The Wal Marts
  Marlboro Man and I drove over to Little Rock, Arkansas Monday night for a cookbook signing in a brand new Wal Mart. After having a week of signings in charming little independent bookstores in Denver, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix last week, I had no idea what to expect. But Wal Mart and ...

Be Vewwwy Quiet
He tries to stay home. He tries to stay on the porch. But eventually, Charlie feels the call of the wild. (We’ll talk about the pink another time. It was a personal choice, though—that much I can tell you.)   We have a set of wooden steps near our pond—steps too ...

Cows Don’t Care About the Backstreet Boys
Cows don’t care about Bonnie Hunt, book signings, or bestseller lists. No, really. They seriously don’t care. Just ask a cow if you don’t believe me. Just saunter up to one of them and ask, “ Did you guys catch that Bonnie Hunt episode where the Backstreet Boys ...

A Word to the Wise
If you’re a fair-skinned redhead…     And you painstakingly and meticulously exfoliate and apply a high quality self-tanning cream to your face, chest, neck, arms, hands, and head…     And your sister-in-law grabs you on your way out the ...

A Recap.
  I can hardly put my feelings about the past two weeks into words. The release of my cookbook. Launching it in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and our wonderful little small town. Traveling with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law Missy to Denver, then Salt Lake City, then Phoenix. Meeting ...

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.
This is how Charlie greeted me when I returned home late Saturday night.     And okay. This is how he greeted me.     But this is much more fun. Much more freaky. Much more disturbing. And you know what? I like disturbing. After four kids and thirteen ...

The Homefront
Marlboro Man, Charlie, and the kids have been living without me since last Sunday morning. We knew this first leg of the Griswold Book Trip would be a little tough, not just because I was going to be away from the four punks for six whole days, but also because I brought my sister-in-law ...

Oh No I Di-in’t
thepioneerwoman.com — Oh yes…     I did. And I might have completely blocked it from my memory had my sister-in-law Missy not snapped these photos. So thank you, Missy. No, really. Thank you. It’s best that I see the truth. I ... (more) Oh No I Di-in’t
Thelma, Louise, and Their Mother-in-Law
I’m on my Griswold-Style Book Trip right now, and because Marlboro Man and the kids had cow, soccer, calf, and manure obligations this week, I dragged along both his mom and Missy, Pesky Tim’s wife. We blazed first to Denver so I could sign cookbooks and meet some very nice people ...

A Grandmother and a Gentleman
Mike and Ga-Ga drove out to the ranch Saturday to spend the day with my mom, the kids, and me. Ga-Ga wanted to see my mom on her birthday, and Mike wanted to fold my laundry. Ga-Ga drove. Mike navigated.     Mike doesn’t drive. Mike rides. Mike rides in cars, taxis, ...

Hooker: The Next Generation
She’s one of Hooker’s puppies.     Do you remember ? It wasn’t that long ago.     I love her.     And she loves me. I know it. I can just tell these things. I communicate with all animals on a very deep level. Call me ...

We’ll Get Back to This Baby in a Minute
But first… Some scenes from last night.   It was Oklahoma City, my second home turf next to Tulsa. It was a wonderful, magical night.   When I signed these gals’ cookbooks, I wrote which article of clothing they were wearing that I loved. For example: ...
