Hi, I’m Pam, Founder of Housewives of Frederick County, a trusted local lifestyle and media platform serving women across Frederick County, Maryland.
For more than 12 years, I’ve been the go-to local resource for women who want to know where to go, what to do, who to trust, and which local businesses are actually worth their time and money.
Housewives of Frederick County is not just a blog and it’s definitely not “just Instagram.”
It’s a complete local media destination that reaches thousands of engaged women through my website, weekly newsletter, social platforms, and podcast.

A LOCAL BRAND WITH REAL REACH
Housewives of Frederick County launched in 2012 when my identical twin sister, Terri, and I started sharing local finds, events, and everyday lifestyle inspiration.
What began as a passion project quickly grew into one of Frederick County’s most recognized lifestyle platforms, consistently earning Best Blog honors from Frederick Magazine year after year.
While Terri has since launched her own business, we still collaborate on one of my favorite projects, the TwinSpired in Frederick Podcast, where we share real conversations, local stories, and spotlight women-owned businesses in Frederick County.
WHO THIS PLATFORM IS FOR
My audience is primarily women ages 45–64 who are:
• Household decision-makers
• Deeply connected to Frederick County
• Loyal to brands they trust
• Actively supporting local businesses
They come to Housewives of Frederick County for:
• Things to do in Frederick County
• Local events and guides
• Trusted recommendations
• Shopping, food, travel, and lifestyle inspiration
• Honest opinions without influencer fluff
And they come back because I don’t chase trends. I curate value.

• This website with evergreen, SEO-driven local content

WORKING WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES

If you’re a local business looking for:
• Real local reach

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
I’m a Maryland girl through and through with a soft spot for blue crabs, estate sale treasures, and a good laugh with friends.
When I’m not creating content, you’ll find me:
• Bragging about my Terps kid
• Hanging with my pets
• Singing karaoke with my twin
• Walking, gardening, and hunting for hidden gems
Fun fact: yes, that really was my twin sister and me on the ID Channel’s Evil Twins.

Hi Pam. Thank you for the Maryland hot crab dip recipe. I’m going to give it a try this week. Being from Long Island, I love blue claws, too. Yet it was not until I had the opportunity to live in MD in 2016 and attend a Christmas party at Mustang Alley’s in downtown Baltimore where I first discovered how much I love this dip. It was amazing! Have you tried it there? I have failed over and over trying to make it as good as Mustang Alley’s. But I will be in heaven if your recipe gets me there. Cheers!

Hi Gregory,
I have not been to Mustang Alley’s, but now I want to go and try their crab dip! I hope my recipe ends up being a winner for you!
Hi Terri,
Thanks for posting this and for making great food. I don’t see the use of the butter, or am I just blind?? I want to make this so bad but want to do it right as crabmeat is expensive.
Thanks for whatever you can tell me.

Hi Manny, which crab recipe are you wanting information on?
