Hi!! I’m Kristin, the heart behind Live Simply with Kristin. 
As newly empty-nest empty nesters, Ryan and I sold it all and live full-time in our cozy camper—trading big house stress for simple joys, freedom, and adventures together.
Here, I share wholesome recipes that fit tiny spaces, fitness tips to stay strong on the go, small-space living hacks, and the beauty of intentional, less-is-more living. Grateful you’re along for the ride—let’s keep it simple and joyful!
