Spring Salad Dressings to WOW Your Family

Hey y’all. I’m Kim!

I’m a homeschooling mama of 5, serial entrepreneur, and Jill of all trades. I love to learn new skills and create with my hands. Here at Plain Living you’ll find family meals that are delicious and nutritious, and tutorials for sewing projects to gift, sell, or bless your home. Plus, my girls and I are reviving the Hope Chest Tradition together, and we are sharing all of our projects along the way.

More About Us

Have you ever had to start over? Your whole life, from scratch?

You’re not alone.

After a lot of difficult circumstances in our life, we are starting a new life and a new homestead from scratch. We know what life we want to build for our children, and we are working toward that, one step at a time. Life on the South Dakota prairie sounds romantic, but in reality, it’s just the plain path the Lord has shown us.

Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. Psalm 27:11

We want to bring you along on this journey. We will begin by doing simple projects involved with homesteading, homemaking, and homeschooling. It’s about building our home- the only place that’s fully ours and within our power. Ultimately, we hope to help you find encouragement, identify goals, and create a realistic plan that grows with your skills and resources. You can learn from tutorials we already have, or learn along with us, real time!

Whether you love our from-scratch recipes, want to learn to sew, or enjoy our simple homeschool content, we are so glad you’re here.
