Is it really that different, cooking in a Tiny House kitchen? Well, there are some differences, but I can still make delicious meals in my kitchen. It isn’t that small actually, since I chose a pretty sizeable kitchen for my little palace. Healthy cooking is important to me and I’m using my kitchen a lot. […]
It’s my birthday!
Yessir, I’m officially one year older today. 42 years, wow! ‘And playful woman, what have you learned from this?’ (This is a reference to the Dutch television show ‘The big mister Cactus show’ – in case you were wondering ;) ) That’s a very good question. Let’s ponder on that one for a moment… 1) […]
Wanted: Tiny House residents!
Because of the enormous number of applications it’s no longer possible to apply for this project. If there are any more opportunities like this, I will put them on my website! My ultimate dream is to live in the forest. Well, in an open area in the forest; otherwise my solar panels would be useless […]
We’re jamming like crazy
My blogging activities are at a low level at the moment. I’ve been incredibly busy these past few weeks, and I’m looking forward to taking it easy for a while. How about a vacation! That’s coming soon; I just have to hang in there a little bit. Of course it’s great that things are going […]
Heavenly water from the Berkey
Until now, I’ve been using my collected rainwater for pretty much everything, except for consumption. For showering, washing, doing the dishes and washing my hands.

Workshop: make your own soap!
On a beautiful sunny Thursday I was sitting on my deck with Cisca from Zeepziederij aan het IJ talking about biodegradable soap and other care products. This was so inspiring that we decided to organize a workshop for making your own soap. For Tiny House residents, future Tiny House residents, or anyone interested in making environmentally and […]
One year in a Tiny House
Exactly one year ago yesterday was the day when the build of my Tiny House was finished and my dream home was driven to Alkmaar. Wow, a year already, what a milestone! Next Thursday I will have lived here for a whole year, back then it took me three days to move. I have such […]
Cleaning a water tank, 101
I was mentally preparing for it for a while now, it was high time to thoroughly clean out my water tank. This kind of chore is not particularly the kind of thing I look forward to. I was dreading the whole ordeal. Every now and then I take a look inside my tank to see […]
Warm weather, warm people
A couple of days ago I wrote a very personal blog. Though I was a little anxious to write so openly about parts of myself that I find to be less beautiful, and to show that everything is not always peachy in my life, I had no second thoughts about whether or not I had […]
