Tiny House Living

In this issue of Small Living Journal the authors discuss a number of financial benefits of living simply.

Small Living Journal – Issue 12

In this issue of Small Living Journal we share some of our experiences and how we’ve worked through them. Some of us have also included what we expect to encounter along the way and how we plan to move through those future obstacles.  We hope you find it useful to hear our stories and look forward to your comments and questions.

Small Living Journal – Issue 11

The latest issue of Tiny House Journal focuses on the appeal of tiny homes. I usually contribute to the Small Living Journal but got too caught up with another project. But I did actually write a short article a while back that explains  why I’m so taken by tiny houses, in case you were curious.

Here’s a excerpt from the introduction from Issue 10 of Small Living Journal:

I guess it shouldn’t come as any surprise that members of the Small Home Movement are nonconformists. If they weren’t, odds are they wouldn’t be so attracted to an idea so radically outside the norms of mainstream America. Starting with Thoreau and his $28.12 and 1/2 cent house, small housers have all marched to the beat of their own highly-individualistic drummer.

Even knowing that, however, it still catches me off-guard to discover how different the motivations and exact solutions are of various members of the community. For that reason, I thought it might be worth the SLJ writers taking some time to discuss the personal appeal and perceived advantages of tiny homes.

The latest issue of Small Living Journal is focused on food and cooking in tiny houses. You might have wondered how people who live so simply actually store and prepare food, and now a little bit of that mystery is revealed. Small Living Journal

No matter the size of your home, big or small, careful attention to interior space design, clutter, and organization can help you achieve a more practical and peaceful home. It can also free your brain and lower your stress. There were two post on this recently.

Community is the topic of the current issue of Small Living Journal. As people downsize their homes they tend to find themselves spending more and more time in their communities.

Small Living Journal – Issue 6: Community

For the most current issue of Small Living Journal we focused on our dreams, goals and plans for the future. You’ll notice that each of us has a different approach which is probably due to the diverse nature of our backgrounds. The one common thread is that living simply is helping us realize our dreams. Read about out Future Plans in Issue 5 of the Small Living Journal.

In this the third issue of Small Living Journal, you’re invited to take a peek inside the authors’ own homes. Some float, others roll, some are for the city and others are out in the country. All the articles focus on the lessons learned by living small and the reasons downsizing is so important.

The second issue of Small Living Journal was published this week. This is the bi-weekly webzine on the small home movement. This issue focuses on downsizing and contains several well written articles by leading folks in the online small living community.
