EDITED: This month’s contest is over. Thanks for entering and if you missed out this time, keep your eyes peeled for next month!
I’ve always wanted to hold a photo contest and have decided to make it ongoing (assuming it is successful).  Welcome to Blue Ribbon Photos, my first ever photo contest.  I’ve got bigger things [...]

Have you seen these swing sets?  These beautiful wooden swing sets that when you look at them, you go wow?  Clearly it’s more than a swing set, it’s a whole playground!

I have a terrible memory but I truly don’t recall ever having a swing set or even a little swing for that matter, I could [...]

This is basically a shotgun post. I’ll be busy this morning vlogging my new treadmill & me walking on it. I’m very excited about it and have never been more motivated to lose weight. I even have a cool little surf shelf to try out if I feel like I MUST have my [...]

Edited to add an outfit for people with a budget! Both came in at under $18!
I was recently hired by Sears to help promote their clearance sale, offering 75-80% OFF ORIGINAL PRICES ON FALL & WINTER APPAREL from now til April 18th, and because I’m a new fan of frugal, I knew it would be [...]

I had a really interesting chat with Stacy from Mom Central while at the Mercury Mambo party at SXSW.  She basically called me out on what my goals are and where do I see myself in the future (blogging wise).  I didn’t have an answer and have done nothing but thought about it since then.
I [...]

If I could walk everywhere barefoot, I would.  Since I can’t though, I look for funky flip flops that  bring out the inner cowgirl in me.  This is probably the only fashion thing I do, find cool flops to wear that is.
These HOT Cowgirl Flip Flops came from Saltwater Cowgirl.  They were extremely comfortable and [...]

Wow! What a fun conference to attend. I was able to attend the conference thanks to my sponsors, Walmart and ConAgra.
Saturday, I arrived in Austin at 9am. I took the standby flights at 5:50am to get there early so that I’d have just a little bit more time to network and hangout [...]

I’m fortunate enough to have some wonderful opportunities to travel but they are all without my family, which breaks my heart every time I leave.  I’m thinking it’s time for a family vacation and was told about Kissimmee Florida.  Now I’ve been to Florida before back in my younger years but I still remember it [...]

If you don’t know already, I’m here in Austin at the SXSW conference and so far, am enjoying everything about it.  I’ll be blogging bits and pieces throughout my time here so today I’m featuring one of the vendors, Music Skins.  They have skins for everything from laptops to the HOT iPhone 3g (like I [...]

We decorate our house with junk mostly but several pieces are real cowboy gear that has been retired.  When I say junk, I mean old things like whiskey jugs and gas cans and pieces of branded barn wood.  We have this shelf over the fireplace and it’s pretty much the focal point of the house [...]

EDITED:  If you buy something from them and you tell her that A Cowboy’s Wife sent ya, you’ll get FREE SHIPPING:)
You had to know that I couldn’t go to Austin this weekend without wearing some cowgirl chunky jewelry right?  Boy did i find someone who’s got some cute stuff and some of it with a [...]

If you don’t already know, I live in a town that is known for holding the Largest Rattlesnake Roundup and people from all over the world show up just to see these rattlers and perhaps even eat some!
We hunted today for a little bit, just me and the man so I’m sharing photos today instead [...]

Me and Mommysnacks battle on the dance floor at Les Deux in LA……..of course  I win!  Lots of celebrities have been here including Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West, and so many more.  So much for wordless huh.

There are two main reasons why you should know your blog’s key demographics, for yourself and for advertisers.
FOR YOU
Knowing your readers a little more can help you determine what topics you might want to talk about. For example: When I started my food blog, I did a lot of cooking from scratch type [...]
