The Building Begins


IT'S FINALLY BEGUN!

I'm so excited that our foundation of our house has started! Besides the trailer the floor is one of the most important parts of our entire tiny house project! I can't believe that it's finally here!


First we had to move the trailer. We were hoping to build it on the back acre of the house we are living in but it just wasn't going to work. By the time we got started working the grass was growing over-top of the trailer and doing any of the work under the trailer just wasn't going to happen. There would be way to many bugs and creatures living back there. Not to mention the fact that there is no electricity in the back and we would have had to spend several hundred dollars on extension cords just to get the power we needed to run the tools to build and we need every penny to go into this house. So instead it was moved out front to sit next to our house to give us easy access to power and some small shelter from our porch for tools that will be used throughout the whole building process.


The next step was getting all the materials gathered into one place. Hubby headed to the store and bought all the new supplies we would need. He had to make two trips because even with his large diesel truck he couldn't get it all. (The picture above is only one trip). We also need to stack all the pallet wood nicely so we can use it for the flooring when we get there. We still need to breakdown a few more pallets but we have most of the flooring ready when it's time.

The first steps to our tiny house have started! It's so exciting to actually be moving forward with our dream!

The League of Incredible Vegetables: Movie Review

Picture borrowed from  Christian Film Database Another movie review! I was so thrilled when I was walking through Best Buy before Christmas and saw this  DVD sitting on the shelf. If you are a boy mom like myself you know that they love super heroes. I struggle to find age appropriated super hero movies for Monkey to watch. He loves Spiderman, Batman, Iron Man, ect. and he has not seen any of the movies/shows that go along with them. Wait...he did watch The Avengers with Daddy one day while I was out. I haven't seen that one so I can't say what I think of it for a 3 year old. Anyway, I love Veggie Tale movies! I think that they do a good job of teaching lessons to kids in a way that they understand and I love the lessons they teach! This one is great because it is about fear and how if you trust God fear can't freeze you. If you have kids, especially boys this movie is great! It helps them get the superheros they want to watch without the bad guys th...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...
