"Bobbie has a unique swagger complemented by a grace that I thoroughly enjoy and audiences respond to. Without a doubt, she is her own person, and has the ability to command attention without being outrageous or attention grabbing. Her written work reflects creative honesty. Furthermore, she has the skills to dissect complex nuances and easily transition those characteristics to crystallize the commonality of the human experience."

FIVE STARS - "Beautifully written, heart-felt and zany stories about real life and real people on this farm in rural america. Children are the number one crop on the Panek Farm. These stories resonate far beyond the page. A book for everyone." - Tim

FIVE STARS - "A great read for many generations Just Another Day is a refreshing read in a world that is saturated with online motherhood blogs and stories that don't always highlight the simple joys of raising children. Bobbie's voice is light and warm, her stories easy but filled with meaning and purpose. The stories are easily digestable and relatable. I have even read a few to my 3 year old, and just when I think he isn't paying attention, he will ask me what something is or what it means." - Emma
