Sourdough, Sewing & Simple Living for the Modern Mama

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.
