About Me

and How Home Plain and Simple came to be

My name is Kim Brenneman

I am the author of the book Home Management: Plain and Simple.

I am a Christ-follower, wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. A lover of all things creative, I love to write, garden, cook, sew, decorate, and plan events in my home and am an out-of-the-box thinker who likes to ask “Why”. I love helping women create beautiful lives.

I moved into my first little house over 30 years ago and promptly started having babies, 9 of them. I love them to the moon and back. Keeping it all clean, orderly, and feeding the tribe has been a challenge!

I’ve been writing about my life since I first started blogging in 2004. Way back then, I was in an email group of moms and we shared the struggles common to being a human living with other humans. We were all motivated to create a beautiful family life and shared our methods with each other. I started blog writing to better explain the things that I found helpful: the what, how, and why.

That blog eventually became a book.
I’m a practical, straightforward person and that’s how I write, plain and simple. I’m still learning home management skills and I keep writing and speaking about how I make the best days better. You can use what I do as a springboard for applying to your unique life.
