In the last few weeks I have been sitting in on the ICC code meetings to help formulate a standard for full time residential units built on chassis. – I’ll pause here for emphasis on that – To date, even with the success on Appendix Q in 2016 and the codification of it into Appendix […] The post Another round of IRC? appeared first on MiniMotives ..read more

We’re old hat at this minimalist family thing. After twelve years in 232 s.f. We have a flow down about ‘stuff’. With the big consumer holiday right around the corner, I thought it was a pertinent time to share how we approach gift giving with the kids again, now that we’re swiftly approaching those tween […] The post What We’re Shopping for this Holiday Season appeared first on MiniMotives ..read more

An Updated Tour

Every couple of years I realize that a bunch of things have changed about our house. Sometimes it might be ‘we’re pregnant again and so inclosing the patio.’ Other times it might be ‘we moved 300 miles and are now off grid.’ I think this is the most profound change so far, it’s the ‘we […] The post An Updated Tour appeared first on MiniMotives ..read more

Our beloved Denver Dog walked gently over the Rainbow Bridge on May 10th, just a couple weeks past his tenth birthday. For a Great Dane he was pretty ancient. For our adored family member, he was far too young to leave us. It has been several months but I still remember the day well. I […] The post Dog Daze appeared first on MiniMotives ..read more

Here I am, celebrating my 40th circle around the sun and I want to share just how grateful I am! This is a thing I do on milestone birthdays apparently.

I have been noticing a major change within the tiny house community. These changes are concerning but I don’t really know what to do to help anymore. I am open to ideas. I will preface this by saying that I don’t run a ‘tiny house business’. It’s never been my intent to make money from […] The post Tiny House Patterns appeared first on MiniMotives ..read more

How We Teach Kids About Money

11M ago
These kids of ours started their first real business ventures this summer and after sharing, I got a few questions on Facebook about what our kid’s ‘opportunity account’ is. I decided it was time for me to write down our general financial efforts when it comes to how we teach our kids about money. We […] The post How We Teach Kids About Money appeared first on MiniMotives ..read more

I have committed to writing an article for Tiny House Magazine every month this year. I can’t guarantee that they will include them BUT it’s helped keep me in the routine of writing! It’s been extra fun since I have focused a lot less on tiny houses and a lot more on raising kids and […] The post Practice Makes Progress appeared first on MiniMotives ..read more

My Midlife Crisis?

1y ago
I’ve been having a bit of an existential crisis, or maybe it’s just a midlife crisis, I don’t know. Who even am I and what am I for?!? It was spurred by Facebook though, so my relationship with that platform is changing. Coincidentally, just before this happened, I read the book ‘Ten Reasons For Deleting […] The post My Midlife Crisis? appeared first on MiniMotives ..read more

Chicken Coop!

1y ago
This spring we got our first animals for the ole homestead: Chickens! Chickens are a logical first choice. It seems like it would be easy to not get too attached. It SEEMS that way but these feather friends give us so much entertainment that it’s hard NOT to get attached honestly. I certainly have my […] The post Chicken Coop! appeared first on MiniMotives ..read more
