Plain Living on the Prairie
Hello and welcome! I’m Kim, wife to awesome missionary pastor pilot Scott and Mama to 5 wild kiddos! Our journey to the prairie took nearly 15 years and along the way, we managed to develop a host of skills with the goal of creating a practical home. We are raising our children to live Christ centered lives to let their “lights so shine before men”. Our biggest tool right now is using our Hope Chest Project as a guide. Whether it’s homemaking, ministry or homeschooling, we have experience we want to share! Our learning process was difficult and sometimes lonely with a lot of lessons learned the hard way, but we don’t want it to be that way for you! Join us as we share our heart to build a bigger table, make disciples, and build a plane ministry along the way.
