MEET SARAH

Hey there, fabulous friends! I'm Sarah, the passionate soul behind this wonderful corner of the internet. Welcome to my world of women's lifestyle, where we talk about everything from family and fashion to beauty, food, fitness, home, and, of course, everything Minnesota!

What started as a personal journey has blossomed into a thriving community of like-minded individuals. After becoming a wife, I wanted to share the valuable lessons and experiences I've learned along the way. So, here we are, embarking on this exciting adventure together!

Over the past 14 years, this website has grown beyond my wildest dreams. We've been featured on every major TV network in Minnesota, even making waves on national news outlets. But what truly sets us apart is our down-to-earth content for everyone. I believe in being real, giving honest feedback on experiences and adventures, so that other moms and wives can learn from my mistakes and discoveries.

So, grab a cup of coffee (or tea, if that's your thing) and make yourself at home. When you visit my site, I want you to feel like you're chatting with a good friend. Together, let's embrace the joys and challenges of life, celebrating our journey as modern women, wives, and mothers.

I'm so glad you stopped by, and I hope you find a few useful tidbits! If you have any questions or feedback for me, you can reach out to me at realhousewivesofmn@gmail.com.

Hugs and happiness, Sarah

PS- While you're here, check out our newly released children's book, Chloe and the Quest for Courage. Illustrated by my daughter, Adley! Now available on Amazon (and linked below!).
