If you live in the city or the suburbs, cowgirl blogs like The Pioneer Woman are pure lifestyle porn ... and not just because of the incredible food photography. If you're feeling particularly cubicle-bound, or you just want to gaze at photos of fuzzy baby livestock or bacon-based biscuits glittering like quartz, check out three country girl blogs that will definitely have your reconsidering renewing the lease on your chichi apartment.

Foodie Farmgirl is a former city mouse who moved from California to a 240-acre ranch in Missouri keep sheep, chickens, donkeys, and children. Her garden looks like it was conceived by Bon Appetit, and everything she makes is from scratch, from chocolate cupcakes to an heirloom tomato sauce. Check out her recipe for Mexican Monkey Cake. You will not be sorry.

Heart of a Cowgirl is living her dream (and ours) by running a bunny ranch (no, not that kind) in Arizona. As if she couldn't get any more Lemondroppy, she also sells her own jewelry on Etsy and is a crack photographer. Oh, and she occasionally gets to babysit her friend's baby pot-bellied pig. We know. We know.

Cowgirl's Country Life is a meat-obsessed Jill of all trades, who can not only keep livestock and cook, but also raises shrimp (really!), builds her own smokehouses, welds, and is an expert outdoorswoman. With posts like a how-to on making your own bacon-smoked bacon (yep), prepare to be impressed as you are hungry.
