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 […]
Time to harvest
Yesterday was the last day of my vacation. I had planned two and a half weeks off for myself. And I’ve already learned a valuable lesson: when you’re self-employed it’s an illusion to think that you can have a vacation at home. Especially when your work is so closely connected to your home: there’s no […]
Tiny House project Leusden
On May 2nd I posted an article calling upon people interested in starting up a Tiny Housing project in Leusden, where the former military campsite Waterloo will be up for sale. After that the applications were massive, causing us to have the first information meeting in a gym. I still get an application every now […]

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. […]

Book suggestions from Marjolein
I like to read. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always had a pile of books nearby with which I spent many hours in a cozy corner. There was only one downside at the library: the limitations on the amount of books I could bring home. I vaguely remember competing and winning in […]
Do you love your house?
Let’s get serious for a moment: do you love your house? Does it make you happy sitting on your couch and looking around? Do you feel content? Does it have exactly what you need and nothing more? Do you love the materials that are used; do you find the layout of the rooms practical; does […]
A new streetscape in Hardegarijp
On January 2nd, I paid a visit to Mill Home in the beautiful village of Mill, Noord-Brabant. I’ve known Gerard Dijkstra of Mill Home for a while; he’s a super likable man who heartily supports the Tiny House movement and philosophy. Every now and then we call each other to catch up on how both […]
