5 Mins with Eva Shockey

Eva Shockey does NOT let the grass grow under her feet. She’s a book author, mom, wife, house builder/designer (and probably avid pinner on Pinterest) and more recently, our version of “Martha Stewart” for the outdoors. But way cooler. Eva is hosting an evening TV marathon of “Last Man Standing” on WGN America on November 22 at 7 p.m. ET – which is a match made in TV heaven. If you haven’t watched past seasons of LSM, you really need to – then rejoice that someone at FOX got their head on straight and ordered a new season, which is currently airing. I’m sincerely happy for Eva in this new role and am glad it gave me the chance to chat with her for a few minutes. Read on, dear readers, and good luck out in the woods this weekend – or shopping if you are a ‘hunting widow,’ that’s cool, too.  – Michelle Scheuermann, editor, Archery Wire. 

 

Q: Eva, you’ve been SO BUSY these past few months – from raising a family to building a house – your insta-stories make me swoon with the choices! How do you keep it all straight and in check? What – or who – is your biggest helper?

A: I have an easy-going toddler (thank goodness!) who sleeps 14 hours a night; I get my work done after she goes to sleep (which is a Godsend!). I try to be as much of a full-time mom as I can, while still maintaining a demanding full-time career running. It’s not always easy, but I love being a mom SO MUCH and love my job too -- it’s all about striking the right balance. Since my daughter Leni was born, Tim and I have tried to get her used to going with the flow. We bring her along on most of our adventures and she loves it! I also have a husband who is the BEST. He fully supports me and the millions of things I have on my plate. And, now, we get to work together on a few outdoor projects, which makes life much more fun when my family is by my side to share in the fun!

 

Q:  What Thanksgiving traditions will we see in the Shockey-Brent household next week?

A:  Tim and I are both Canadian, so our Thanksgiving was technically in October (which we missed, because we were traveling). Leni is American and we reside together as a family in Raleigh, NC. This Thanksgiving, we’re going to do our best to celebrate American-style! In fact, we’re are currently building our “forever home” out in the woods outside of Raleigh. We have plans to make dinner and eat at the new house though it’s only half-way built. This will be the first of many holiday meals we’ll have there. 

 

Q: I love that you are hosting a “Last Man Standing” marathon on WGN America on November 22 beginning at 7 p.m. ET. What will we see from you during this time?

A:  I will be sharing tips and tricks about everything from how to shoot a bow to how to decorate your home for the holidays with some “outdoor flair” and will even be sharing some of my favorite  field-to-table holiday recipes, including my most requested Elk Jalapeño Poppers. 

 

Q: How are the Shockey's similar to the Baxters? How are you different?

A: We are an outdoor family just like the fictional Baxters characters. I wish I could spend a day with them, because they seem like a lot of fun and Colorado is stunning. Personally, I think my dad had his hands full with just one daughter, so he’s probably happy that he didn’t have three Evas, like Mike Baxter does - HA! 

 

Q:   Ok, have to ask – do you go Black Friday shopping? 

A: We don’t have Black Friday in Canada, so this is all new to me. Tim will agree, I’m not one to turn down online shopping or good sales. That means that the chances are pretty high!
