Let Vacation Begin!
July 27, 2016
Here I am! Finally at the cabin for 3 and a half weeks to do almost whatever I want! Almost…because we still have a room to put back together. To be fair, I’ve been on vacation for three weeks already. But I was in the Adirondacks for the first four days and then Iceland for two … More Let Vacation Begin!
Observing the Sabbath
June 12, 2016
Soldier Boy and I are very motivated people when it comes to the cabin. We are far better at imagining upgrades, finding materials and putting it all together for the cabin than for the house. When we are at the cabin, there is always something to do. Always something we can do better. Everything we … More Observing the Sabbath
Reflections on My Photo-A-Day Project
March 28, 2016
I have always loved art. Anything visual. I love colours and textures and lines and the stories that are told with no words. I love the creative process that takes you from an idea to a product. I especially love the challenge of putting a complex idea into one still image that can communicate not … More Reflections on My Photo-A-Day Project
7 Ways to Make More Time (and More Joy) in Your Life
November 5, 2015
“I don’t have time.” I hate that sentence. I hate hearing it. I hate saying it. I hate the fact that it comes to my lips a kabillion times a day.

As I’ve mentioned before, this movement is not just about living in a smaller, more efficient … More Tiny: A Story About Living Small
The Buy Nothing Project: Building Community and Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

When I talk about living the Tiny Life, the first thing that comes to mind is a small living space. And then people consider the lack of stuff. Then there’s self-sustainability aspect and the financial freedom that comes with it.

The First Step to Living the Tiny Life: Downsizing
September 20, 2015
The biggest question on everyone’s mind when they start thinking about the Tiny Life is “Where do I put everything?” Owning very little is certainly not the only aspect of living a Tiny Life but it is certainly the most identifiable and probably the most difficult thing to overcome. I have been trying for a … More The First Step to Living the Tiny Life: Downsizing
The Lost Art of Letter-Writing
August 30, 2015
It’s the last weekend of August and in this part of the world, that means that the days are getting shorter and the evenings and mornings are getting cooler. At the cabin, the wide branches of the trees keep the warm sun hidden. A few more weekends and we’ll have to light the stove to … More The Lost Art of Letter-Writing

July 28, 2015
If I were to google “What is the Tiny Life?”, I would get a lot of sites about the building of and the living in tiny homes. But living the Tiny Life is more than just having a small home. Sometimes you will find it called Simple Living or Minimalist Living. It often means being … More What the Tiny Life Means to Me
