Simmie's Simple Living

Simmie’s Simple Living follows me, Simone, a British woman homesteading in Alabama, as I attempt to live for 365 days using only what I can grow, catch, raise, barter, forage, already possesses, is given, borrows or just floats her way through mind-melding and prayer. Truly living the NOPE lifestyle. No Outside Purchases Ever. No grocery runs. No Amazon. No backup plan. Here we'll learn together how to save money, cook from scratch, preserve food, garden, reduce waste, and make what we have go further. Real skills. Real life. No fluff. There’s a lot of experimentation and problem-solving and occasionally discovering that an idea has gone spectacularly sideways. 😆 This is about taking control, building self-sufficiency, and proving you don’t need to keep buying more to live well.

If you’re ready to depend less and live more, subscribe and follow the journey. I'm 53, arthritic, have ADHD (I'm not medicated 🤪) and if I can do this, you can too.

Hello All, I'm running out of ideas as to what kind of content you guys would like to see. What kind of things would you like me feature in future videos that you would consider interesting viewing as part of this challenge? Let me know! I will be going fishing next week as part of my 'catch' aspect to the challenge. This will be my first time!

Had terrible weather here over the past few days. Have been doing 'clean-up'. Thankfully, we're not in Mississippi though, my heart goes out to those affected there. I will be back posting my videos soon. Going through this really makes you wonder how our ancestors survived.

As I’m working through this 365‑day simple‑living challenge — growing, catching, bartering, foraging, raising chickens, existing only on what I have, cooking from scratch, ditching the grocery store, ditching EVERY store etc, my faith is shaping a lot of the choices I make. It's making me see things so differently now. My eyes are opening to what's important. Would you like to see more videos where I share the practical homestead side and the spiritual lessons that are presenting themselves to me on this journey?
