It has been quite a week. A week of goodbyes and letting go. On Monday I had to put down my beloved cat Tommetje, after one last weekend of giving him all the love that I have in me. It was horribly sad and hard, but it is better like this. I know in my […]
A Tiny meet-up and no less than 3 possible places to live!!
Last Saturday I met two nice and hugely enthusiastic Tiny House lovers. I came into contact with them through this blog and we went for lunch in Alkmaar. How great to talk to like-minded people!

In the beginning… there was a feeling of discontent
I have no reason for being unhappy. I’m relatively healthy, have a good job, great friends, sweet cats, a nice house with a reasonable rent, fun hobbies… Just turn on the TV and you’ll see there are loads of people worse off than me. Maybe you recognize this: you know it all, but still… something’s […]
