It is a major time of change! This suits me very well. I like change. Same old same old for too long and I get bored. I also believe that every now and then you should make room in your life for new things. Therefore, I decided, after five years of working very actively for […]
A new adventure: Olstergaard!
I’ve been a bit withdrawn recently. It felt like I needed a period of rest and reflection. I had to let go of old things before I could start working on something new with fresh energy. That ‘something new’ has arrived! Yesterday the lottery took place for the lots in the new nature inclusive, circular […]
Small steps to less waste
I try – probably just like you – to take steps towards a lifestyle that harms the Earth as little as possible. Living in a self-sufficient Tiny House was a seven-mile step, but of course it doesn’t stop there! :) Another area where I would like to develop some more eco awareness is in how […]
The system is broken, so be a hero
I would like to let you read an article. Because this piece really touches me. It was forwarded to me from Cissie Schellings, with the caption: “look what fits tiny”. I totally agree with her!

Dear human being, you are needed
Hello, my dear. I would like to talk to you. I want you to know how I feel, the sadness about what we are doing to ourselves and our beautiful planet. Not because I want to make you feel bad, but because I want so badly for you to join me in resisting the course […]
No to fences, yes to privacy
One of the reasons people want to live in a Tiny House is to be part of a community. A neighbourhood in which you have a pleasant balance between privacy and sharing. In which you have your own independent Tiny House, but also easily make contact with your neighbours, share joys and sorrows, material things, […]
Hello autumn!
I love the fall season. I love the scents and the colors. The evenings when it starts getting darker earlier and earlier. Making the house cozy again with candles. The first time the wood stove can be turned on again. Forest walks, collecting autumn leaves. Pumpkins on the porch and in the cooking pot. Mushroom […]

I actually wanted to write a new book tips blog before the summer holiday period, but it just didn’t work out. So now here it is after the holidays. Well, reading books is always nice, isn’t it, and not just during holidays? I have a few gems for you: books that touched me and that […]
