HAPPY MID-FEBRUARY!
Not at all sure where January went, but it’s been a while since I did a little introduction, so here goes.🧡
I’m Maureen… My husband and I own Lockwood III Dairy in California, I own a portrait photography business, and I’m a children’s book author. I love running businesses, and really love our dairy, the cows, and educating and advocating for the dairy industry, especially when children are involved. Reading my books and sharing my story with children… that’s my happy place.🥰
I’ve been happily married to Darin for 38 years, have 4 amazing children, 2 wonderful sons in law, and 2 beautiful grandchildren. My family is one of my greatest blessings, with God right in the center of it.🥰
All of my businesses circle right back to our dairy.
I take family photos, high school seniors, etc… mostly at our ranch. A lot of my best photos include some of our beautiful cows.
I wrote three children’s books, sharing my true story about my extra special red Holstein, Clarice and her calf, Mitzi. I’m a little obsessed😅 with red Holsteins, which has turned into a business in the very best way. I now sell sweet little custom plushies to go with my books, and even Clarice The Red Cow blankets. I currently have over 20 stores carrying my merchandise, (across the USA) sell them directly from my website, and participate in Ag Days, Farmers Markets and various vendor events. I am so very thankful for each opportunity to share my story, and am always thinking about what will be next…🤔
I serve on 2 state boards for the dairy industry, including the California Milk Advisory Board and Dairy Council of California. I do a little traveling with both boards, help with projects, and do whatever I can to help advocate for California Dairy.
Oh, and when I’m not busy doing something dairy &/or business related, I love to spend time with my family, travel, explore and see and experience new things! Feel free to find me on Facebook to see more of that.😉 I try to keep it mostly ‘dairy’ here, (ours and our son’s) as I assume that’s why you’re following along!😅
I’m here to share! If you’re following, you will most definitely see red Holsteins, some Tongue Out Tuesday posts, learn a little about our farm and family, hopefully enjoy the content… participate in a giveaway now and then, and learn about what we do! I’m always open for questions, suggestions and feedback.
CHEERS!🥛
