How does one welcome himself back? Kind of an awkward thing. But, at the risk of being awkward…welcome back Drew. It’s been a long time. What have you been doing?
Truth is, I’ve been doing a lot.
About a year ago I woke up and felt like Tiny r(E)volution had run its course. We had posted some 496 entries and talked about just about everything we could expound on regarding a tiny house on wheels, an RV life, etc. Come to find out, there was more inside us though. We just had to take some time to step back, refresh ourselves, transition into a new adventure, and find our voice(s) again. So now, a full year later, we are back.
Today finds us living in a small house (860 sq.ft) in eastern North Carolina. We are on a foundation and have fallen back into a lovely homesteading situation. We have a good sized garden. We raise chickens. We adopted a dog. Heck, we even have a lawn tractor and a barn to store it in! Life is good. Each morning I get to work while staring out a window that faces about 4 acres of potential farmland. Our now 4-year old daughter gets to play outside and run barefoot through the grass. Our dog has no fence and it is nothing to see ducks land in the pond next door. And while we may live in version 3.0 of Tiny r(E)volution – a version that has a cinderblock foundation – we are still very “tiny minded” spending even more time focusing on sustainable life, neo-homesteading, DIY projects, and more. So that is why we are back.
We have always tried to talk about where we are in life and how it is part of a tiny lifestyle that is so much more than square feet. We try to address a tiny lifestyle that is about the social, mental, academic, spiritual, and emotional aspects of a downsized existence. Please get ready for more videos, more emotionally invested articles, more DIY tutorials, more interviews, more giveaways, and more r(E)volution!
Welcome back.
Yay! I look forward to MORE from you! You are one of the characters who contributed (unbeknownst to you) to my tiny journey abs I’m all the more inspired. Indeed, welcome back!
Well Demere. One thing is for certain. I AM a character alright. HAHAHAH. Seriously though. Thank you so much for hanging in with us and welcoming us back. It is much appreciated. And BTW…I LOVE your tiny house. The diamond shaped stained glass, the floor painting, etc. So wonderful!
Excited to see read the next chapter of the story.
I am so excited to write it Karen!
Andrew I’m so excited to see what new articles inspiration you have for those of us who want to live tiny I recently downloaded your plans for a pull out bed to be used on the lower floor of a loft were so excited about starting to build this weekend thanks so much for all you contribute
Enjoy making that bed. Be sure to watch the YouTube video. It will help tremendously. And I hope I can continue to inspire.
Life is change, right?
That Tiny mentality you talk about is what I’ve been shouting about to anyone who will listen: that it’s not just about only owning 50 things, but ever so much more (and it’s not about a number!)
Welcome back o/
Parker
Let’s shout it together, shall we?
as I only just recently came across your blog via the tiny bed, your absence hasn’t been noticed by me 😉
but your present life sounds very nice, I’ll get into reading about your tiny phase over summer holidays.
But hey – welcome back!
Thank you Amber. Great to have you join us.
Thank you…all for coming back!
Thank you for having us back!
Welcome! I appreciate hearing your perspective. So much of the conversation about tiny house living centers around getting started and figuring it out. Fewer people discuss what it’s like to live in a tiny house, and even fewer share about the experiencing the ebbs and flows and shifts of life as things change. We’ve been living in our tiny house for two years now, and are starting to explore our other dreams.
I would love to hear more about what y’all are thinking about and what y’all have learned.
-D
Welcome back, Drew!
Thank you Alek. It’s good to be back!
Yay! Glad you are back. I too was inspired by your posts etc. Take a peek at what we’ve been up to at dreamsbytheacre.blogspot.com.
Looking forward to seeing what you have coming.
WOW! Congratulations to y’all Kim. Y’all have truly remained dedicated. So very cool.
We’re looking forward to whatever you contribute in the future. 🙂 Pushing towards the day we can move out to our Tiny in the Woods.
Thank you Jay. I am headed over to look at your site now.
