Ok, so totally not related to simple living, or building tiny, or anything like that - but it is our family blog and I want to show children pics 😀
Rough recovery
Whew, ok, well now that we got that little blog post mix up fixed, back to new thoughts! Life has been interesting since Baby Girl's arrival. Mr. Littlest finally started talking to me again, even snuggled with me and asked to hold Baby Girl! Poor little guy just couldn't understand how he asked for a boy (named…
Guess what…?!
Edited to say: in my wonderfully working "got it all together" mind, I thought this was published last week. Ahem. Oops. Yet, sadly, goes along with the rest of the post... Mommy brain fog... Lord help me... us...Sorry for my slackerdom the last few weeks. (And yes, that is totally a word! Spell check so…
5 Random Thoughts
Cause I am just in one of those moods.Mr. Man got a job!! Praise God!! Its kinda sorta like in a similar field as before but much less stress - and we don't have the overhead. Praying it works out well. The owners were concerned about me being due this week and having him take a couple…
Rethinking this whole “off grid” thing
I'm a wuss. I am not afraid to admit it. I'm a southern girl whose mind is never far from the beach. I prefer hot weather over cold any day (ok, until it hits the triple degrees LOL Then its just miserable!). Friday blew in our first real cold snap. At naptime the children were sweating in…
Hold every thought captive
This pregnancy has been unlike any other. Besides the obvious - moving states again, camping for months, DIY'ing a house, job losses.It is the first time I have been ready to be done being pregnant - like since halfway. I embrace being pregnant usually. Yes, heartburn and all! It's amazing, it's exciting, it lasts such a short time…
A busy day ends in glory
A busy day! Lots of needed projects accomplished. The Girls and Littles did a lot of picking up outside. Mr. Man did work on the windows, the front porch and a few other things. Bou tackled this project. I think it turned out pretty good! The idea was adapted from a Pin I saw that…
Happy 10th Birthday Girly!!
Another one has hit double digits. Despite my pleas to stay 9 just one more year, she refused, declaring she is 10. Sigh. The time is going so fast. She is growing into such a little lady. So proud of you Girly - thank you for being who you are 😀
A child’s first gift
Another one of my favorite things about being back on our land. I am pretty sure I get more enjoyment seeing the huge smiles on the children's faces as they bounce towards me, hands behind their backs, Mr. Littlest hollering "mama, we got something for you".They are wildflowers. Or sometimes beautiful, white, fragrant onion flowers…
Why are we putting our lives out like this?!
Frankly, after reading some of the comments on articles about other Tiny Housers, even I question it. Yesterday, another article - Tiny Homes hit the Big City mentioning another Tiny House Family - was on the front page of CNN! Exciting for sure - until you get to the comments. Some people are very kind, writing words of encouragement and…
