All the water we’ve missed this spring seems to have saved itself for September. What a bucketload of water! It’s a real swamp around my house, but thankfully I’m high and dry. It’s nice that my water tank is loaded, but that’s only helpful with a working water pump… Unfortunately, it broke down. I have […]
Setting boundaries
Ever since I’ve been living in my Tiny House in Alkmaar, my house has received a lot of attention. That means unexpected visitors at unexpected times. At first I had strangers at my door on a daily basis. They had read about me in the paper or had heard me on a talk show. In […]
The Tiny kitchen
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
April? You could have fooled me
April was not exactly a pleasant spring month now, was it? It has been pretty chilly now and then, the nights especially were literally freezing! Thankfully my newly sprouted seeds in the garden survived, even though I neglected to cover them up during the colder nights. I have only had to fire up the woodstove […]
Laundry: less is more
I don’t own a washing machine. Well, yes I do have a Wonderwash, which is a hand-powered washer often used on camping trips. I can do small loads of laundry in it and it works just fine, but at some point you get a little tired of that. ;) It only works when the weather […]
Tiny cuisine: becoming a vegetarian!
I was planning to take the day off, but I felt like writing today. So why not write a little blog! ???? I’ve been cutting back on meat for a while now. I don’t buy my meat at the supermarket, only on exceptional occasions and even then, I get organic meat. Usually I ordered meat from […]
New new new!
Woohoo! After weeks and weeks of hard work, finally today my new website is online! Until now I did everything for the website by myself – you can come a long way with WordPress. But it was time to take the website to the next level and I asked David Web & Media to help me […]
The mystery of the missing slippers
How on earth do you do it: losing things in your Tiny House? I mean, in 20 square meters of living area, there are only so many places where you can put your things, right? But I managed to do it somehow. It was Friday the 23rd of December, I had invited a few friends […]
