Ree Drummond Marks 57th Birthday With Rediscovered Throwback Photos

The Food Network host’s ranch-life brand grew from a 2006 blog to a long-running TV show.

Overview

  • On Jan. 6, Drummond shared about 20 images spanning from her toddler years to early motherhood, saying she had thought the photos were lost forever.
  • Her caption called them “grainy snapshots of some ages and stages,” and she joked that a striped rugby-shirt picture was her “Pete’s Dragon phase.”
  • The collection features moments from a sixth birthday party, ballet performances, prom, her 1996 wedding to Ladd Drummond, and a newborn in her arms.
  • Daughters Alex Drummond Scott and Paige Drummond Andersen posted birthday wishes as fans commented on Paige’s strong resemblance to her mother.
  • Drummond, who reaches 4.4 million Instagram followers, launched The Pioneer Woman blog in 2006, which led to her Food Network series premiering on Aug. 27, 2011.
