The Pioneer Woman

Yesterday I spent most of the day at Will Wyatt’s where Ree Drummond {a.k.a. The Pioneer Woman} was visiting for a book signing. Now I know that most of you know exactly who The Pioneer Woman is and that I might look silly explaining it, but for the 1% of you who don’t know what I’m talking about {ahem, husband, pay attention}, here’s a VERY brief overview.

The Pioneer Woman

I also did not know of this Pioneer Woman, a ravishing phenonmenon in American Culture, until just a couple of months ago. I still don’t know much but here goes…

The Pioneer Woman is a blog that is written by Ree Drummond.

On her blog Ree Drummond writes about her hubs {whom she affectionately calls Marlboro Man}, their four children, homeschooling, photography, cooking, and her life on a ranch.

She is self deprecating in a charming way that people can relate to… much the way you are with your best friends in the most honest of moments.

According to what my husband has seen in the few pics I showed him, she is “good lookin’”. He’s right ~ actually she’s gorgeous, in pics and in person also.

On October 27th, 2009, Ree’s Cookbook, “The Pioneer Woman Cooks”, was released.

She is currently on a whirlwind book tour that is bringing women and men alike, out of the rafters, and into long lines that they never thought they would endure just to meet a rancher’s wife from Oklahoma.

Her readers/fans feel a deep connection to Ree and her journey ~ they laugh with her, cry with her, cook, snap pictures, educate and love with her. Her followers hold her up on a sturdy pedestal.

We all need an icon and from my perspective down here, The Pioneer Woman reminds us that no matter how simple our lives may seem, they each have exquisite details that we should embrace ~ what a divine lesson.

Also, you should buy one of these cookbooks for every woman you know ~ they will make for a very merry HOLIDAY.
