Mama Mantra: The Convenience Outweighs the Fear - This may be a controversial post, but I am here to say that having children who drive is a situation where the convenience outweighs the fear! As a parent who is now working towards having her third driver (Cowboy W has his hardship permit now), I feel confident offering this… Read More »

Basically my life the last week…and I don’t hate it. 🥰 Feeling good and resting and healing. My pain is basically nothing, but I am still SO tired and taking two naps a day. I’m making sure I’m getting up and walking, and may even try and leave the house at the end of the week. The Cowkids are taking time to snuggle and hang out with me when they’re home, and I’m thankful to the friends that have brought meals to help The Cowboy out!

When you’re being a good patient and walking laps around the house and taking deep breaths before taking a morning nap…and your furry bestie has no clue what this craziness is all about…but is up for it anyway. 😂 Poor Captain is like “Can we just sit and relax now…or take this walk outside where it belongs?”

Meet the one who started it all…the creator of PrairieWifeInHeels.com!
Prairie Wife (Cathy Holman) is a city girl from Milwaukee who went country, all for the love of a cowboy.
She now lives in the middle of nowhere Wyoming with five children, two dogs, four horses, a mini mule, a couple of steers and pigs, and a constantly changing number of chickens and cats.
She began PrairieWifeInHeels.com in 2013 to offer support to other women, wives, and mothers.
And now, her message of living a life of grit and grace is for ANYONE.
She shares stories of her “joyfully chaotic” life on the Wyoming prairie both here and across her social media platforms.
On this site, you can find honest (with a bit of humor) posts about creating a life you love, parenting, life in Wyoming, and behind-the-scenes looks at brand development.
Eventually, all this writing led to speaking engagements, regular TV appearances on K2’s Good Morning Wyoming, and a weekly radio segment on K2 AM1030 in 2018. From 2018 to 2022, you could find Prairie Wife every weekday 6 – 10 am on My Country 95.5 KWYY on the My Country Morning Show. She received multiple awards from the Wyoming Association of Broadcasters for her on-air work. In the fall of 2022, she left the radio to focus more on her family and put more time and energy into building the Prairie Wife brand.
As a media personality, Prairie Wife continues to spread her message of grit and grace through social media content, speaking engagements, and leadership workshops across Wyoming. She is also a popular radio, TV, and Podcast guest who has emceed and auctioneered at over one hundred events.
She recently saw a need for social media and business/brand consulting as she began to form partnerships with local businesses and enjoys this new opportunity to give other business owners and creators the tools they need to take their passions to the next level through one-on-one consulting appointments.

While I’ve been resting and healing these last few days this kiddo has been putting in a ton of time on the mats! He worked hard, and placed first in both tournaments this week. Thankful to my fellow wrestling moms who sent us pics and video and kept us updated to how he did. 💜 So grateful to our wrestling family.

Earlier today I went in for my revision surgery (you can read more about my journey on my blog!) and I am so relieved to share that everything went well and I am safe and sound with The Cowboy ❤️❤️
Feeling very blessed and grateful for everyone’s support, prayers, and strength 💪🏼❤️✨ - the doctor is pleased and I am excited to start my TV binge/healing week!
