Laura is a small-town Wisconsin girl who’s made her home in De Pere for the last 15 years. She has a journalism degree from UW-Oshkosh and works as a copy editor and freelance writer when she’s not working on a novel, running, or teaching yoga. Her family includes her husband, two daughters at home, and an adult stepson and daughter-in-law, both of whom serve our country in the U.S. Marine Corps. What I love most about living in this area: Visiting the Brown County libraries, running on the Fox River Trail, and cheering for the Green Bay Packers!

Heather, a native Texan, currently lives in De Pere, WI. She is a wife and a mother of two little boys, three and five years old, they keep her busy and entertained. The Green Bay area is wonderful because it provides opportunities to spend time with friends and explore all facets of the outdoors.  

Amanda is originally from Manitowoc, WI.  She and her husband, Jeff, also spent several years in Kenosha. In 2007 they relocated to the Green Bay area for Jeff’s job. Prior to becoming a full-time SAHM, she worked in animal welfare and then a most beloved job for the public library system. She and her husband are blessed to be parents to 4 children – Lauren, Luke, Oscar, and Estelle (with baby #5 due in September).  They also have two beloved dogs Marley and Ryker. Amanda is passionate about encouraging and learning from other mamas in all walks of life. 

I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and moved to Green Bay in 2005. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Northern Michigan University and a MBA from Lakeland College. I manage two community-based residential facilities in Green Bay. I have two boys, ages 11 and 3. Moving to Green Bay from the UP was a great decision for me. There are so many things to do in this area and a lot of them don't cost anything. My boys love time spent outdoors on the Fox River Trail, Voyageur Park, and any of the public swimming pools/water parks in the summer.

Amanda was born and raised in Green Bay and returned to the area after graduating from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, where she obtained her degree in psychology and business. Shortly after moving back to Green Bay, Amanda attended Silver Lake College where she completed the master's program in management and organizational behavior. Amanda works full time and when she is not caring for her family or being a focused employee, she enjoys running, biking, skiing and hiking. Amanda lives in Green Bay with her husband and two children. She and her husband look forward to teaching their daughters how to ski and bike and hope their children enjoy being active outdoors. Amanda loves that the Green Bay area has a lot to offer in terms of trail systems (great for biking, running, hiking and skiing!) and Green Bay is conveniently located to some great ski hills all within a few hours drive.

Hello! I’m a tall mom, with a tall eight year old son, a tall six year old daughter, and a tall husband. My height may be the first thing people notice when we meet, but once they get to know me they learn that I’m hopelessly optimistic, compassionate to most, and usually on-the-go. I’ve called Green Bay home for the majority of my life because of its tight-knit community, the friendliness of neighbors and much of my extended family is nearby.

Hailing from a small town North of Green Bay, Aly met her husband just after high school graduation and they married four years later. One Army deployment, a house purchase, several years, and a pregnancy later, they made the move to Green Bay. Finding they fit in with the small city, family friendly lifestyle, they made Green Bay home. After a few years of working in the health insurance field, baby #2 made an appearance turning Aly into a full time Stay at Home Mom. Aly is passionate about books, buying yarn (and starting projects), playing with her boys, Veterans mental health, and Hallmark movies.

In her free time, she loves visiting Door County and exploring marinas on both the Bay of Green Bay and Lake Michigan. She works from home and is always trying to find ways to strike a balance between family and work. She graduated from the University of Minnesota but hopes you won’t hold that against her. On Wisconsin!

She is originally from the East Coast and met her husband, who is from Suamico, WI, while he was in the Coast Guard. Sarah and her husband have two little ones less than two years apart. They love the Green Bay Area to take part in an active lifestyle, from camping to hiking, there is a tremendous amount of beauty here.

Hello friends, I am so honored and excited to be a part of such a wonderful uplifting group of women! My story begins a little over 10 years ago when I moved from the greater Milwaukee area to a little town called Green Bay for my undergrad at UW-GB! Little did I know, the sights and sounds, the food, the craziness of Titletown Sundays, and most importantly meeting my husband Billy (a professional midwesterner)  would make me want to call this place my home. I cannot believe the amount of growth and character our beautiful town has achieved in the few years that  I have lived here. We have become avid farmer market hoppers, cafe/brewery/winery enthusiasts, and self-proclaimed “foodies.” Billy and I love raising our girls, Tovah and Liesel, to appreciate the world around them and to enjoy where God has placed us in life. We love to celebrate the diversity and eclectic nature of Green Bay by supporting local businesses and being an ally to all who call Green Bay home. When I am not juggling two toddlers at home I love traveling locally and across the country with my family, updating our 70s Dutch colonial home, and serving in our community.
