Cybersecurity is for EVERYONE - When I think about “Cybersecurity,” I immediately imagine a guy slumped over a laptop in the back of a van with computer screens and blinking lights all around him. He’s talking into a headset and giving instructions to his teammate inside a building a few blocks away. As he rapidly… Read More »

When I think about “Cybersecurity,” I immediately imagine a guy slumped over a laptop in the back of a van with computer screens and blinking lights all around him. He’s talking into a headset and giving instructions to his teammate inside a building a few blocks away. As he rapidly types codes into the computer, you hear him exclaim, “We’re into the system now!”
So basically, what I’m saying is that I don’t feel like “Cybersecurity” really has anything to do with me… a 40-something mom of 5 living in the middle of nowhere, Wyoming, working as a media personality.
And I’m guessing that more than a few of you feel the same way as me…and we’re all wrong.
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, devices, and sensitive data from digital attacks, unauthorized access, and damage. It ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information by combining technology, processes, and user awareness. Source: www.cisa.gov
That seems like something we all need to know about!
Thanks to @caspercollege you have a chance to do exactly that. The 2026 Rocky Mountain Cybersecurity Symposium (RMCS) offers a powerful convergence of innovation, education, and collaboration in the fight against cyber threats. Spanning four days, this hybrid event includes a cutting-edge pre-conference workshop followed by a dynamic mix of keynote sessions, breakout talks, and hands-on workshops across multiple topics and experience levels.
Learn more at rmcscom.com and find out what speakers I’m excited about at PrairieWifeInHeels.com

When I was 13, we drove from Milwaukee to Wyoming for a family reunion. I told my parents that when I grew up, I was going to move to Wyoming and marry a cowboy. ✅ married almost 22 years and five kids… I think it was the right decision. #mycowboy #wyoming #bebrave
Last branding of 2026 and it was a great one! #wyominglife #cowboyup
Grocery day around here (while time consuming and devastating to the bank account lately) is one of my favorite days! We try to only go every 10 days and often make it work for two weeks. This helps us to eat up everything we have (though I swear no fresh fruit lasts more than a few days anymore) and keeps us a little more on budget. So when it’s grocery day, I’m always excited because I get to have my favorite foods! This is my go to for lunch, a salad that has all of my favorite flavors from my trips to Europe. Arugula (rocket as they call it over there), feta cheese, olives, dates, tomatoes, and a balsamic vinaigrette! So good 👏🙌
Today we said goodbye to SpanishSon2.0 😭 We are so grateful to his parents for trusting us with him these last 10 months. We’re thankful for his kind heart, his sense of humor, and his willingness to try anything even when he knew he’d probably hate it. It takes so much bravery and trust to come to another country and join a family you don’t know. Thankful for the time we had with him (and his older brother) and it’s nice to know we will always have family in Spain! 🥰

Great night at @davidstreetstation with @chanceywilliamsybb helping The Orrs Hope Foundation with all the amazing work they do for Wyoming families! 💜
And just like that it officially feels like summer!
It has been a while since I shared a candid “blogger at work” pic with you! Welcome to today…I have 2/3 BIG projects done (they all come with a paycheck and deadlines) and I’m working away on getting the main part of the last one finished before I can be fun mom this afternoon. Unwashed hair (look closely you can see my weave showing lol), no makeup or contacts, my fav worn in sweats and a hoodie, work spread out around on the counter, and dishes piled up in the sink…Not pictured “Gossip Girl” playing in the background. Remember what you see online is never the full picture. #gritandgrace #keepingitreal #bloggeratwork #workshopsandkeynotes
