Rook’s Landing is a little homestead near Stillwater in Oklahoma. This site started as a small blog called ‘Our-OK-Family’ and has grown along with us. Professionally, we are a microbiologist and a computer scientist, but we are also parents, musicians, and writers with a small crew of critters.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind our awesome family of readers that the articles we write are opinionated pieces, sharing our stories of what has worked for us, and that we hope will work for you too, but as with all things in life, this is something we cannot guarantee to you. And none of our content should be considered medical, financial, psychological, or other professional advise.

We share our words to help, and we truly hope that they do. As such we will always work to the best of our ability to provide you with the best and most accurate information we can, and will reserve the right to change an opinion or change the focus of our site as we learn and continue to share and grow with our community.

With love & respect,
Ryan and Michelle
