Tiny House Plans!


I shared our official plans on facebook but I know not everyone saw it so I want to make sure and share here. These are the final plans. Nothing can be changed now because we have already framed all the first floor walls.


This is the first floor and we have all the walls framed. It's exciting to see things coming together. I can finally start to visualize what it will look like and how small it will actually be. I love it though! We are so excited to see it coming together and the boys are starting to be able to see it too. I think that's the most exciting part! Goose can give you a complete tour of where every room is going to be. Goose loves being outside hanging out with Daddy while he's working.

I have been asked how in the world we are all going to fit in this tiny house and I'm hoping this will show some of the ways we are going to make it work with a growing family. The boys will both be on top bunk beds and we are making the bottom beds to fold up against the wall so they have more floor space to play. The new baby will be sleeping in a family bassinet for a few months and then the baby will be in a pack-n-play that will either be in the boys room or in ours. We will have to wait and see the temperament of the baby before we decide. We are also going to be building a reading loft above their room that we will fill with books, pillows and stuffed animals and other quiet activities.

Our tiny house is on wheels but it is only going to be moved once. We chose to build our house on a trailer because we needed to build it where we are living and then move it. We couldn't build it on our property but once we move it there we will be taking the wheels off and putting it on a real foundation. We have even worked out a way to expand our tiny house into a larger house in the future as the kids grow if we feel the need to do it. We also have considered that when our boys are about 10 to 12 they can start building their own tiny house to move into by 16 but of course staying on our property.

Next summer we will also be building a deck around our house as well. Our plan is to have at least a 15 foot deck off the front with a patio cover to keep it shaded. We want to go around the whole house but for starters it will just be the front. And don't forget we will have a full 10 acres to care for and currently it's a complete mess so next summer we will have plenty of work to keep us busy and out of the house.

So yes we are a growing family that is moving into a tiny house but we are going to have plenty of space both inside and outside to enjoy together as a family. We won't have a lot of space to disappear and get away from each other but I don't really want that kind of life for my family anyway! When we need a break from each other we can head outside and get some work done!

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis.  I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out.  Granny and Great Po...
