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.
