Tiny House in Oaxaca
I ran across the blog of Mark Grossman and family this past week. It’s a wonderful journal that captures the step-by-step process building a tiny earthen home in Oaxaca, Mexico.

The Simple Life in a Yurt
One of my regular readers, EJ, passed this New York Times story onto me. It’s a wonderful simple living lifestyle story of two people starting a family in a remote part of the world. Their home is simple, a Mongolian-style yurt with no running water and a 3 mile walk to the nearest store in Seldovia, Alaska. Photo credit to Stuart Isett for The New York Times. Thanks again for passing this onto me EJ!

Ten Frugal Choices For Relocation
Frugal Dad recently posted an article on ten places for the frugal to relocate or retire. As people look to downsize one of the most common questions is where can they build a tiny house. I’m not certain if any of these ten places are ideal for tiny houses but they seem like a great place to start looking.
