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!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

The ABC's of Our Family

I got a great idea from this lovely  blog  about doing a ABC photo book through out the year. Each week taking one photo that goes along with a letter. I have seen lots of great ideas for different photo blog ideas but all seem like to much work and something that I know I wouldn't be able to do. This one seems reasonable for our crazy life.  So to start off I have chose a great picture that I took of Rex and M playing together one day when he got home from work. Rex is so ADORABLE in this picture I just knew this was what I had to use! Plus I already know what I'm using for next week even though the picture hasn't been taken yet.  So here it is.......ADORABLE Rex playing with his Daddy! Oh I just can't get enough of this guy. Also as a little side note to how adorable he is...he kept posing for the camera once I got. He didn't care that Mommy was watching him play and wouldn't even look at me but soon as the camera was out he had to keep turning and...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
