My Story
Hi, I’m Raye, the heart behind Minnesota.Raye. I’m a mom, maker, and aspiring homesteader who believes in finding beauty in the everyday. After being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2020, I began exploring natural ways to heal my body and slow down my life. Along the way, I rediscovered my love for creativity — whether that’s through crafting, gardening, or cooking something from scratch.
This blog is where all of those pieces come together — motherhood, wellness, and creativity — as I build a life that feels more intentional, grounded, and true to who I am
