Frontier Follies: Adventures in Marriage & Motherhood in the Middle of Nowhere

A Great book, a great book of light reading full of interesting stories of love, laughter and family life. This is a book that’s hard to put down as Ree is relatable and down to earth and you are drawn in to her life. She is a hard working wife, Mother and business woman who has even found room in her life with Ladd to take on a foster kid, she had a priveleged upbringing compared to many but has brought her 4 children up to appreciate that if you work hard you reap the benefits all with a smile on her face and an encouraging word along the way.

Ree is so relatable and easy to read. I've since read her other book and loved both.Will definitely read them again at some point.

Excellent read and wonderful Christmas present would really recommend to anyone. Funny and sad all in one

Just finishing another of her books and looking forward to reading this one.

I had seen and admired the "Pioneer Woman" products in Walmart, but we don't get cable TV, only local stations, so I never saw a Food Network video of her cooking shows. I like reading Memoirs though, so when I was selecting my next book to read, I saw hers and got it. So glad I did. That first book and then "Frontier Follies" gave me many hours of enjoyment. She's such a down-to-earth, honest person and so witty, I had several "laugh-out-loud" moments. Toward the end of "Frontier Follies", I slowed down to "save" the last few chapters because I didn't want the book to end. Since reading and learning about her life, I've watched her videos on "YouTube" and was even able to check out through the library, one of her cooking books. I watched an interview she had and loved her answer about how she handles any negative comments, etc. She basically said she ignores it, doesn't defend or answer back. She quoted the St. Francis of Assissi prayer as her mindset about it, "Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace." I do hope she will continue writing about her life on the ranch. I feel like I know her entire family now and I want to continue to follow their lives.

Loved the book and love the woman who wrote it. She is amazing. Watch her show all the time.

If you like The Pioneer Woman then this book is for you! I actually purchased 4 of them at different times ... Apparently the book-arrivals were being "borrowed" by family and COVID-cleared friends before I had a chance to indulge. All with a thumbs-up by the perpetrators BTW.If you aren't familiar with The Pioneer Woman - you'll be glad you adventured into her world.Ree Drummond lives on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma and has a large extended family. I think her writing style appeals to almost everyone. City or country dwellers, large families or small, single or coupled, her outlook on life and recipes are terrific. If you've seen her show on Food Network, then you've watched her kids grow up over the last decade and are familiar with the "cast-of-characters."Reading Ree always lifts my spirits and allows me to try to pay it forward to those around me.

This book is a cute collection of short stories of Ree Drummond's life on her cattle ranch home.I had read this book from the library, and when I found out Ree Drummond was coming to a city not too far from me for a book signing, I wanted to get a copy for her to sign. The seller shipped promptly and it was an excellent condition, looks brand new!
