Blizzard Bloghop Welcome


No, I'm not really snowed in! We are actually having a kinda sorta moderate day compared to the last few days. 

I'm participating in the Blizzard Bloghop hosted by Anne Marie at Household6Diva.com. If you found me through that link up ... Welcome to my little corner of the blog world.

I'm The Cow Queen. The royal family is a farming, ranching, homeschooling family of four. We preside over our kingdom which is the farm where Prince Charming (that's my dear husband) grew up. Now, the prince and princess get to have fun in those same fields and on the same river banks.

I hope you spend some time and find some things that interest you. Here are a few of my favorite blog posts:
A Prince Indeed!
Spring in the Kingdom
Monkey Business
A Blogging Benefit
Photography
Tiny Talk

I hope you enjoy your visit through my kingdom. I'm planning a bit of a change-up in what I present here. If you have suggestions, let me know.

Remember to go back over to Household6Diva and hop around some other blogs.

Presenting the Queen

Yep, it is true! I am a bona fide, crown- and sash-wearing Cow Queen. Well, I don’t really wear the crown (much) and the sash met its demise a few years ago, but I am still a Cow Queen.

You see, about 20 years ago when my hair was bigger and my hips were smaller, I was crowned the National Jersey Jug Queen. To my friends who are not educated in the ways of the bovine, the Jersey is a breed of dairy cattle. Remember “Elsie”? She is/was a Jersey. They are the cute brown cows with the big eyes.

Every year, the Jersey Jug Futurity Show is held to name a new champion and the owner of the cow takes home a “jug” of money as a prize. A queen presides over the day’s events, and one year it was me. I spent that next year traveling to a few events and representing the Jersey cow. My parents spent that year as royal chauffeurs!

During my official reign as Jersey Queen, I met many interesting people and had a royal time! Oh, my hair got smaller too! (Just so ya know.)

Ten years later, I met my Prince Charming (a former Jersey dairyman). With Wranglers and boots, he swept me off my feet. We were married the next year and now live happily ever after in our own kingdom. We raise a prince and a princess along with grass-fed beef cattle and strawberries.

When I began to put this blog together, Prince Charming is the one who developed the name for it. I guess he just can’t get over being married to royalty!
