A week ago, I was carting boxes and bags up the steps and down the steps, leaning over and reaching under all kinds of things, despite the awareness that the days of doing so had passed me by. By Tuesday, day after move-in day, my back was reminding me of my stupidity. And by Wednesday,…Read more Perspective, it’s all about perspective!

I’m not sure if this is a tiny house thing, or this tiny house thing, the one located at the end of the road and surrounded by beauty and quiet (note the end of the road), or the revelation of an addiction. But I do miss people! And communicating with them so simply, at least…Read more Withdrawal !

Welcome to my living and dining rooms; it's not all in this picture, but you get the idea. I brought pillows from home; see the most specialist on the left? The quilted one? Our Beth made that for her dad many years ago. Above this space is the first of two, each with two mattresses.…Read more So, it looks like this!!

That’s what I heard, following our conversation about living in a tiny house. It was followed up with something like “There’s not enough space for the both of us. I’d have no place to get away.” Honestly, my first thought was “That makes me so sad. You're practically a newly-wed, and we’ve been married fifty…Read more Never in a Tiny House, I Couldn’t!

Yesterday, we bought under-the-bed bins for the tiny house. I am so thankful this tiny house actually has room for a regular bed! Anyway, it has a bed, but no dresser, thus the bins. And we each have two. I transferred our clothes from the suitcases, and I think two a piece will do it,…Read more Shoes, I love shoes, but…

So you start thinking about how big can I cook in my little kitchen, and that requires lots of thoughts about the pots and pans and conveniences you put in your boxes. I…Read more You still have to eat!

Did you ever wish you could have taken your house, or car, or RV for a test drive, something more than the 20 minute one you got at the dealership or with the real estate agent at your elbow? If you are thinking about tiny house living for whatever reason, like less floor space=less cleaning,…Read more Taking it for a Test Drive

Hmmm, no matter where you live, you have to have dishes. God calls us to exercise hospitality and one way of doing that is feeding people. So having the right dishes is a no-brainer, but all dishes don’t come in the same size, nor the same density or breakability. And most people have good dishes…Read more Dishes, I have to write about dishes!

“What are you going to do with your stuff?” That’s one of the most asked questions we hear about our tiny house adventure. It’s a valid question too. We have been married over 50 years, having spent 25 years in our three bedroom home complete with  a finished basement. Then we have three married children and…Read more Downsizing!

To answer that question, I must back up a long way, back to 1971 when I was a young wife with two little ones and another on the way, my husband a Bible college student. I imagine you all could relate to some part of that situation, up to your ears in little people and…Read more Just What Makes a Tiny House a Home?
