How do those other ladies on social media do it?! How do they look halfway normal, or glowing and cute when they get up right away in the morning? In reality I know they are almost all pretending. They woke up hours before and did their hair and makeup, and staged the area around them before they made their video or took their pics. But even though I KNOW IT’S FAKE I still catch myself thinking unkind thoughts about how I look or care for myself. The truth is I am going to be looking exactly like this until the hour before I have to leave the house, and I absolutely have to start getting ready to be out in public. And even then, today I’m heading out in a baseball hat and no makeup because I have errands, therapy, and a walk with a friend so there is no need to waste precious time getting fancy! I guess I just wanted to remind you that there is a whole spectrum of “normal” out there. And for this gal it’s waking up looking like I’m Dorthy after the tornado picked her up and spit her out in Oz…and before the red shoes and glam squad found her. Thank God The Cowboy loves me and doesn’t even flinch when this comes at him to kiss him goodbye and tell him to “have a great day and make some money to pay those bills!” #real #normalisdifferentforeveryone #goodmorning #deinfluencing ...

Enjoy a weekend of inspiration and rejuvenation of your mind and body at the @elk_mountain_hotel with Wyoming’s own Prairie Wife at the 2026 Prairie Wife Retreat!

The Elk Mountain Hotel was built in 1905 and has been proudly serving its guests for over 120 years. The Elk Mountain Hotel is situated along the banks of the peaceful Medicine Bow River and sits among the cottonwoods at the gateway to the Medicine Bow National Forest in the quaint little town of Elk Mountain, Wyoming.

Join Prairie Wife (Cathy Holman) and other like-minded women for a weekend focused on creating a life you love…and getting out of your comfort zone! This year, we’ve added the option of participating in an 11-mile hike along the Rock Creek Trail on Friday morning. Then, enjoy a meet-and-greet and dinner on the first evening, and spend the rest of the night relaxing, stargazing, making new friends, and attending a book club discussion. Saturday begins with a full-service breakfast followed by a 3-mile-long moderate hike led by Prairie Wife. This hike will take you into the Medicine Bow National Forest and will offer just the right amount of movement and beautiful views.

Enjoy lunch with Llamas back at the Elk Mountain Hotel and then take some time to freshen up and rest after your hike before you sit down for a one-and-a-half-hour workshop led by Prairie Wife. This year’s topic is “Confidence, Aging, and Owning Your Power” After the workshop, you’ll create custom jewelry with jewelry designer Laura Hunter of @pureimpressions

Dinner will be followed by community time under the stars while staying warm next to a beautiful Fire Pit. End your weekend on Sunday morning with breakfast surrounded by new friends, and the option to have our event photographer, Amanda Henderson of @amandajophotowyo take professional headshots for you. Amanda will be along for the entire weekend, helping us capture all the special moments to ensure it’s an adventure you’ll never forget.

It’s amazing who you run into at the Denver Airport…especially when you planned it in December.
