7 thoughts on “Tiny Living from a Kid’s Perspective”
Now THIS is good parenting at its finest! It’s heartening to see a child discover that dreams are the start of real possibilities…and that he has the support of the adults in his life. Garrett however, looks like he might become a pretty big guy and might be needing a bigger space than the front loft – and sooner rather than sometime after high school! Here’s hoping he gets to make a head start on his own place whenever he’s ready!
Thank you very much Elisabeth! It’s been so heartwarming for me to see him genuinely embrace tiny living and see the benefits that it can bring his adult life. You are absolutely right on about needing more space. This kid is growing at a phenomenal rate! We have a plan to extend the size of his loft.
I love how you are raising your kids. I find it so important that they embrace the lifestyle they live. It’s such a big part of life especially when you have the opportunity to connect with nature and see the real world. My husband and I are at the point in life where we are questioning what we want out of a home. I’d love to live more off grid, grow our own food, etc here in Washington state. Living simple sounds grand!
Thank you Erna! Our kids are the future, and I am so grateful that my son is getting such a wonderful perspective. Happy to hear about you and your husband’s shifting perspective and goals. If you’re near the Seattle area, come see us next Saturday at the NW SolarFest: https://www.facebook.com/events/812270675607119/ 🙂
Really like your Tiny House Movement, especially since it offers the younger perspective of your son – never have seen that before – must be the first!!! I live in a regular house now, but plan on getting a Tiny House when I can afford it, and the vehicle to tow it. Or maybe a driveable house with a small car towed? Anyway, I Love seeing all the newest ideas around with Y’all and the other Tiny House Affitionadoes keeping all of us wannabes in the Loop till we are able go it on our own 2, or more wheels!!!!! <3 8~} <3
Loved hearing about how Garrett is enjoying and involved in your tiny house build. We lived on a 55 ft. tri cabin boat for several years with our 6 children. It brought us all much closer, having moved out of a 4400 square foot, two story, 5 bedroom house where we never knew where the children were at given time. the children loved it. Now my husband and I along with our 40 pound dog live in a 236 sq. ft. tiny house and still love tiny spaces.
