Ree Drummond

I'm a writer and a photographer - I'm totally aware that doesn't always translate to TV.

In many ways, our marriage is anything but traditional. When I started my blog in 2006, Ladd was the only one that really understood what I was doing, probably before I even understood what I was doing. He wasn't tech-savvy, but he just got it and was totally on board with it.

I'm working on a second cookbook and am working on my love story, 'Black Heels to Tractor Wheels.'

I'm as flawed as the next person. But maybe I inspire women because I'm an example that you should never assume that where you are in life or what you're doing is going to remain exactly as it is forever.

If I were a single person living in a city, I could support myself, but I probably wouldn't have a blog, because I would have nothing to blog about.

With the exception of an occasional cocktail party with friends, my holiday entertaining mostly centers around smaller get-togethers with family.

My days are spent wrangling children, chipping dried manure from boots, washing jeans, and frying calf nuts.

I'm a thirty-something ranch wife, mother of four, moderately agoraphobic middle child who grew up on a golf course in the city.

I think a common misconception about a small town in rural America is that everyone believes the same way, and nothing could be further from the truth.

The truth of the matter is that I live on an isolated cattle ranch in the middle of Oklahoma and that's not going to change.

I had been teaching myself photography.

Ninety-five percent of the time when I run a contest I've purchased the giveaway prizes with advertising money.
