I Wanna Be

I think we all have someone that we may not actually know that is in the media that we think "I would love to have their life!" Mine used to be, in a small way, Martha Stewart. Not in every way, but mostly because everything she touches is so lovely. Well, I have found my new, "I wanna be her when I grow up" person. Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman http://thepioneerwoman.com/. She cooks, blogs, photographs, home schools (I actually have never nor will I ever desire to do this), gardens, writes books, and generally has the ideal life that I picture in my head. Now I am not so naive that I think she is not super busy, tired, stressed, and doing "real life" things that I do but it is like she is in my head whenever I look at something on her blog. She talks about my favorite stores Talbots and Anthropologie, her adorable Basset Hound Charlie (who now has his own book "Charlie the Ranch Dog") who is similar in many ways to Tucker, photography (in the way I wish I could take pictures), and sometimes the way she says something is exactly how I would say it if my own blog could become my actual way to make a living. I recommend making her blog a regular part of your day or week. It is well worth it!
