If you’re not new to my blog, you might remember that in 2015 I got a group of people together to talk to municipalities about possible locations for Tiny Houses.

Gardening Jitters
Although spring is a long time away, I’ve already got the gardening jitters. I’m reading about gardening and I want to get going! Way too early of course, but you can always make plans.

Time to slow down
Dear people, I know that many of you are eagerly waiting for a sign of life from me, (or is that my ego talking? ;)) I imagine that you want to know how I’m enjoying life in my Tiny House. The fact is that I’ve been so extremely busy during the last few weeks that […]
