I'm at Bakerella's book signing in Austin! We're about to embark on a fun Girl Hunter Weekend to celebrate outdoorsyness, togetherness and my upcoming Girl Hunter book release. Amazon just named it a "best book of the month," which is pretty exciting.

In just a few hours, I'm going to be picking up two of my favorite people from the airport, Todd and Diane from White on Rice Couple. Then we're jetting off to Joshua Creek Ranch, the place where I shot that magazine cover a few months ago, and guess what we're doing there? We're shooting…
