In many areas living small is just a bit different than living in a house of a regular size. I have already highlighted many topics when it comes to tiny living but I have never talked about smells in the house. In a small house, odors linger longer and are more present. Do you have […]
Under the sheep’s wool duvet
As you know, I live off-grid in my Tiny House, without connections to the electricity grid, water supply and sewerage system. I don’t even have Wifi ;) I have written about how I organized it many times; you can read about it all in my blogs. But the subject of heating in wintertime is still […]
What’s going on with…
It’s been a while since I’ve written about life in my Tiny House, or what’s going on with my animals. At some point you’ve covered just about everything, life goes on and things become ‘normal’. For me, that is; for you it’s not and I tend to forget that. You might like to read about […]
Simple living = more free time?
Some people seem to think that you have plenty of free time when you live in a Tiny House, and that it’s easy and simple. That’s what I thought too! But actually, living off-grid isn’t that easy. It means you have to spend more time organizing and maintaining basic utilities compared to a regular house. […]
More chicken nuggets
For my Facebook followers who don’t like chickens: I’m sorry! These last days a lot of pictures and texts starring chickens have crossed my Facebook page. Most popular were pictures of the chicks sitting on my head. I’ll cut down on the chicken nuggets from now on, I promise. But just in case you missed […]
Chicken tales
Do you remember the blog I ecstatically wrote about having my own chickens? Well, there was a twist to that story and a weird but happy ending. Marjolein style, as it were ;) Time to tell the rest of the story! I was thrilled with my new chickens, but they were less excited about me…They […]
Something to crow about
If you ask me, keeping chickens is an indispensable part of the Tiny House lifestyle. Ok, everyone should decide for themselves of course, but I’ve always wanted to keep chickens. And have a vegetable garden and a herb garden. Chickens are so much fun! It makes me happy, watching them scratching the ground. And now […]
No need for cold feet
Three blogs ago I asked you for tips about good quality slippers to keep my feet warm during the cold winter months. And boy, did you deliver! You sent me a big bunch of tips. And because of that, my feet are eternally comfy and cosy in my new fuzzy slippers. Thanks so much! And […]
Winter is coming, again!
We’ve had the first night-frost tonight! I bought a thermometer recently and it was 15°C in the house when I got out of bed this morning. That was at 6 a.m., I’m an early bird. ;) This is going to be the second winter in my Tiny House, hence the title of this blog. Last […]
Laundry: plan B
Remember this one: the Wonderwash? And that I used it in combination with an old fashioned wringer to do my laundry at home? Well, that was all fun and games for a little while, but at a certain point that’s done, so to say. It’s time for plan B! During an open house afternoon someone […]
