TinyFest Midwest was this past weekend in Colfax, IA and it was soooo much fun!! Even though it ended up being a hundred degrees the whole weekend, which totally sucked at an outdoor event at the end of September, it didn't take away from the fun and excitement of the event itself...
Read MoreAfter two years of living in a tiny house, we have had plenty of Tiny House Fails. Our composting toilet breaking and leaking was a big one, water freezing in our drain pipe during the winter, mold and too much condensation in the cold months, and bug problems on the farm are only the ones I've written about on this blog. The list goes on: cracking our hips on the ceiling as we try to make the bed, hitting our backs or butts on the shelf as we go up our ladder, somehow still managing to lose gloves and other important items even though we only have 160 square feet to look for something!
Read MoreIf you've visited this blog in the past few weeks, you might have noticed that I created a new page titled TIny House Tour. I finally had professional photos taken of our tiny house and posted them so you all could see the glory that is Lil Blue! Most of the photos I've taken on my phone don't do it justice.

This blog isn’t going to be only about our tiny house, though that will obviously be a lot of what I write about. It’s our life, and it’s strange and new and different and exciting for us so it’s often on my mind to share with others.
Read MoreWell, my “tomorrow” came and went and I still couldn’t conquer my second bird. Here I am, two weeks later, after sweating over drafts and drafts, still not sure how to start this thing. But, instead of trying to craft the perfect real “first post” of this blog, I’ve just decided to hell with it all, skip the rules of blog-land, and just keep writing something that may not be exactly introductory. So, here is bird number two. (If you aren’t sure what birds I am referring to, check out my first blog post here).
