Fall is upon us, and while the weather is still a little too warm for chunky sweaters, jeans, and knee high boots, I’m finding that I’m O.K. with that. Frankly, I’m not quite emotionally ready for all my cozy cold weather clothes yet! Thankfully there are a bunch of new… Read More »

School has begun and with it my schedule is much more structured…and jam packed.

One of my favorite things about pregnancy is cravings. Nothing tastes better than giving that baby belly what it wants. With Cowboy J, it was bacon, popcorn shrimp, and onions. With Cowgirl G, it was cookie dough blizzards, banana splits, and Queso dip. Cowboy W was curry and chicken-fried steak. Cowboy… Read More »

I first met this week’s Prairie Wife of the Week while I attended the University of Wyoming, when she began to date one of The Cowboy’s close friends.
