6. Her Vice

Most people need a little bit of caffeine to get them through their busy work week and most of us find get our caffeine kick from coffee, or even tea, but not Sarah! Starring on a television show, balancing work and raising four kids is probably exhausting, but Sarah revealed she doesn’t rely on a cup of Joe each morning to get her day started. “I don’t drink coffee. No coffee at all ever. Never had a sip in my life. My parents never drank it. My mom was a tea drinker, so I’ll have a cup of tea. But I get my caffeine from diet pop, that’s my bad vice,” she said.

5. Favorite Thing on a Rainy Day

In an interview with HGTV, Sarah revealed her favorite thing to do on a rainy day and it sounds pretty awesome! “We have an old school popcorn machine, so we curl up in the family room and make movie-style popcorn and watch movies with the kids. Now if it’s a school day, I’d go shopping. If I didn’t have my kids at home, you’d find me at the mall. I’m a shopaholic!” she joked.

3. How She Met Bryan

When Bryan and Sarah say they’ve known each other for a long time, they mean a really long time! The reality couple actually went to high school together. Sarah was in grade nine and Bryan was a senior, so the two didn’t cross paths that much. They ended up reconnecting 10 years later through email after they had both graduated high school, university and their post-graduate programs. They had a mutual friend who copied them both in an email which sparked a conversation between the two which eventually led to them going out on a date! On their first date they went for sushi and saw The Lion King theatre production.

There is so much more to Sarah than what viewers get to see on television. She grew up in Oakville, Ontario, in a small family with two children. She has one older sibling. In university, she earned degrees in Political Science, English and International Business, but afterwards realized she wanted to be a teacher. She leaned on her passion for dance — she had trained as a dancer for 14 years. Baeumler gained her teaching qualifications in Classical Balelt, Modern Theatre and Jazz.
