This blog is a glimpse into my life. A glimpse of a day, a meal, a story, a travel adventure or something that inspires me. Life is good in the country!~~BCW
















About Me

My photo
Hello. My name is Wen Hayes. I live in a log cabin in the middle of the sticks. While some gals claim to be "accidental country girls", I take full responsibility for my actions. I knew exactly what I was getting into..well, sort of..when I met and fell in love with my country boy. From the rolling hills of Oklahoma & Arkansas, to the majestic vistas of Montana~~that Mountain Man of mine has moved me across the country seeking the next big hunting & fishing adventure. He has taught me to do things I never thought I would do...from cutting up elk meat to operating power tools & heavy equipment. Projects like reclaiming (a fancy word for tearing down) a 100 yr-old barn in the dead of winter to the biggest project ever~~building our log home. This is all in a day's work around here. That man is everything I never knew I always wanted! So 27 yrs, 4 states, 3 kids, 28,470 meals later (I actually did the math) & countless adventures later~~here I am, living life in a log cabin in the Ozark Mtns.

You Gotta Start Somewhere: Becoming BlogCabinWoman


Okay, so I'm finally giving this blogging business a try. I don't know why I've been so intimidated by it. After all, it's just a kicked up version of Facebook. Odds are that my family will be the only ones who read it and that's perfectly alright with me.

Last winter, my blogging curiosity peaked and I spent way too many snowy afternoons online "doing research". Keep in mind that I am technically challenged. I'm a rookie, a newbie. People in my neck of the woods would call me "green".

I've never had formal training in computer technology. My first experience with the Web was back in 1999 when students in the special education department (the "special kids") at Clyde Park High School in Montana gave me my first lesson. Scary...I know. I'm fairly certain that Libby, Shane & Raymond have all gone on to prestigious computer careers and left me in the dust.

So please bear with me on this blogging journey. Being clever and witty everyday seems hard. Taking great photos, worthy of sharing ain't easy. Coming up with interesting & funny stories in daily life can be a challenge. My hat is off to my favorite bloggers for keeping it real, addictive and yummy.
I'm looking forward to starting with this first post under my belt. It gives me something to look forward to & is a great opportunity to journal the blessings & adventures in everyday life.


POINT OF THE STORY: Enjoy the journey. You gotta start somewhere.

    I like it! Keep up the good work. And even if it is just us family - GREAT - at least we can keep up to date with what's going on! I love the design and the picture of the cabin...which I would still like to actually see in real life someday! :) I'll settle for this for now though!
