It’s good [for me] to remember you have to get uncomfortable to improve.
Learning the sport of cutting has been humbling, frustrating and has pushed me way out of my comfort zone.
After stepping up my horsemanship game these past few years, I really came to appreciate how much our partners give to us and learned that the preventative approach is the best approach.
With the PHT Products and Sore No-More combo, I feel like I can do just that no matter the circumstance.

This past weekend, I was honored and humbled to receive recognition in COWGIRL Magazine’s 30 Under 30 Class of 2022. Being recognized has been a goal of mine since COWGIRL started featuring women in western making waves in the industry.
Throughout the entire weekend, we all experienced some genuine Texas hospitality and got to gather, network and collaborate. It was a weekend beautifully executed with opportunities for connection and celebration scattered throughout.
I haven’t carved out a piece of my blog yet for my avian friends due to many reasons: it is my first rodeo and to be honest, I wasn’t sure we’d make it to this point!
First of all, hi, this homesteading thing is new to me. To catch new readers up to speed, I’m from the suburbs, and us suburban folk go to the nearest grocery store to buy our eggs. Although now we still live in city limits, we have the space and naturally, I wanted to try my hand at raising some chickens! So I did what any responsible adult with no chicken experience would do — order 8 sexed assorted brown egg layers online. Yep. Online. They came in a box to our local post office and were happy and healthy!
Hey, blog.
I know I’ve put you out to pasture these past couple of months. There’s been so much to cover it exhausts me just thinking about trying to string the words together and share the good, the bad and the ugly. First and foremost, we moved! We’re back in Arizona enjoying the desert’s version of fall. Matt’s managing a ranch and working on his newsletter and my mobile office just packed up and followed him West (WFH perks, am I RIGHT?). Our house in Colorado sold relatively quickly and we moved in with family in Tucson while we were on the hunt for the perfect place. We’ve been looking seriously for about 3 months now and I’m pleased to say that 3 offers, a few ulcers and lots of tears later, we’re officially under contract on a house! Simultaneously, while living in limbo, my client roster has doubled and I am still loving being a full-time small business owner. I can’t believe I’m about to celebrate a full year in business. This business and I certainly grew up a lot these past 11 months. While the making it to the 1 mark of self-employed status and finding a new home headlines are shareworthy — they’re of course eclipsed by the newest member to the herd, Luna the bottle calf.
What do you get when you put ABBA, Post Malone and Duran Duran in a playlist? Eclectic material for a 30-second dance party, Grey’s Anatomy style, of course.
I’ll say it here for the whole internet to read: I do in fact care what other people think of me. Sometimes maybe a little too much.
