There aresomethings even an open book like Drummond doesn’t announce to the world.
It’s not easy for family, when your mom or wife is famous for sharing your life.
I’ve found a comfort level there of sharing.
So don’t worry Marlboro Man, you’re safe there!
Fortunately she’s had a solid partner to walk that path with her.
“I don’t believe that romance conquers all and love conquers all,” DrummondtoldBookPage.
“But the passion I don’t know it propels you forward through the tough times.”
Despite homesickness, and her parents' divorce, she found strength in her marriage.
My heart would race when I was around him."
When she pulled the Asian hot wings out of the oven, her family looked less than enthused.
“Where’s the real wings?”
her husband Ladd asked.
“I don’t trust them,” remarked a friend.
Drummond laughed and pulled out a pan of traditional buffalo wings from the oven.
“I’m just kidding, guys.
I wouldn’t do that to you,” she said.
Others followed, tweeting and writing to Food connection.
Drummond has yet to comment on the matter.
They have a modern marriage, and don’t accept the traditional roles.
“They’ve always been a team,” Drummond’s mother, GerretoldTheNew Yorker.
Not for the Drummond kids.
“I mean, I have manure on my porch right now that I have to clean up later.
We’re very grounded here in the country.”
Drummond also homeschools her four children.
Seriously, where does she find the time?
Drummond replied, “Oh, now you want to do school!
All of a sudden, schoolwork is soundin' pretty good.”
Good job, mama!
One night, she went out with friends and noticed a cowboy in the bar.
It wasn’t long before Drummond ditched her stilettos and sushi, for cowboy boots and steaks.
People are absolutely obsessed with her life and family.
When asked about the overwhelming public interest in her family life, Drummond just rolls with it.
There’s nothing extraordinary about me or my story.
She grew up in an affluent family with a stay-at-home mom and an orthopedic surgeon dad.
At the time, she “wanted to be Jane Pauley,” asshe toldThe New Yorker.
But life doesn’t always work out how you imagine sometimes in the best possible way.
“I sure raised my eyebrows,” her father told theNew Yorker.
The change took some getting used to for Drummond too.
Think the fame fell into her lap?
But it’s rarely that simple.
“She’s quietly, insanely ambitious,” her friend and fellow blogger Ed Levinetold theNew Yorker.
The Pioneer Womanwas namedWeblog of the Year at the 2009 Bloggie Awards.
She seems to work on her blog and books constantly.
I’m home all day," Drummond told the magazine.
I just make things work within the life I have."
But not Drummond, and now she’s ready for her next project children’s book author!
“I have a new children’s book coming out this spring.
And it was… a transition, to say the least!
“I had been teaching myself photography,” DrummondtoldThe Huffington Post.
I wound up posting 12 or 13 photos, and the response was really favorable.
Even if somebody already knew how to cook a steak, they enjoyed watching it unfold through pictures.”
Her recipe section quickly took off, and Drummond was even offered a cookbook deal.
“Neither of us really jumped into it…
However, in her case, a show turned out to translate very well.
However, despite its run-down start, the Merc is thriving.
“You know, I started my blog on a whim.
It grew into something I’d never planned.
Cookbooks came, and my TV show,” Drummond said.
“Never could I have pictured any of that happening.”
Much like her original blog, Drummond wants her space to be unique.
She has thought about the user experience from start to finish.
“We’re trying to make it an experience for people who come.
I think that’s why we’ve had so much fun,” she told Channel 4.
She’s going to be portrayed in a movie by who?!
The thought of leaving everything behind for love and a simpler life is definitely appealing.
