Plain Living

Hey y’all, I’m Kim! Here at Plain Living Home, I share what we make and use in our own home on the South Dakota prairie. You’ll find from-scratch family meals, fresh-milled flour and sourdough recipes, and simple sewing projects to use, gift, or tuck into a hope chest. Whether you’re baking your first loaf or threading a sewing machine for the first time, there’s a place to start here.

This blog is a window into my world – a place where I share my experiences, triumphs, and challenges as I navigate this crazy little life we’re leading.

Psalm 27:11

Plain Living Home | From-Scratch Food, Sewing & Simple Living

Plain Living Home is all about rebuilding life from scratch—one practical skill, family meal, handmade project, and faithful step at a time.

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.

A Plain Path, One Step at a Time

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

After a season of hard things, our family is doing exactly that: building a new life and a new homestead on the South Dakota prairie. It’s not always romantic, but it’s the plain, quiet path the Lord has set before us.

“Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path…” — Psalm 27:11

Here you’ll find what’s actually working in our home — from-scratch recipes, simple homesteading projects, sewing tutorials, and homeschool days lived in real time. Whether you’re dreaming of your own little homestead or just want a warmer, slower kind of home, you’re in the right place.
