Why do I want to live in a Tiny House?

It's the lifestyle. I want to be free of the hold that the world has on people. It is a vicious money cycle that I hope to slip right around and not have to deal with much anymore, and teach my kids to skirt it as well. People in this world work to afford their lifestyles, and I just don't want to be driven by money. I want to do something in life not because I can or cannot afford it, but because I want to do it. And, I intend on teaching my children the same thought patterns. 

What kind of wonderful people will they grow up to be if I teach them about wanting experiences instead of things? There is a generation gap that is currently being bridged. Our parents (the baby boomers) grew up working hard, for everything. They also taught our generation to work hard. But, when it comes to us teaching our kids, the newest generation, the baby boomers have harsh judgements for them. "They think life comes easy, they don't have to work for anything, they get things handed to them and are now feeling entitled."

But, here is where we bridge the gap, the middle generation is learning things. New things. That our parents weren't necessarily right, about how we should go about life. So, we build tiny houses and we make them roll their eyes. And, we teach our kids that anything in the world can be theirs if they but want it enough.
Thinking with your heart creates attraction and pull for things to simply come to you, if you are wanting them. I grew up working hard for everything I had. And now I have realized that it does take action, but it also takes attraction.
Building this tiny house is my movement into what I have learned. I have worked my butt off in the past to pay my bills. What bills? Rent? ----> I'm building a tiny house CHECK Food? ----> Gardening, Foraging, Berries, Canning, Hunting, Trapping etc CHECK ... and so on ... I do have a business, I work HARD at collecting food and preserving it, BUT it is something I LOVE to do. CHECK
Moral of the story: do what you love. Don't work in the hopes of doing what you love on your days off.

Our adventures in Tiny House Building

For those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Jamie C. Hill. I have two small boys named Nickolas (8) and Gibson (4) and we are excited to be embarking on building our own Tiny House. 
We seek a life of freedom, adventure and carefree joy. Recently I (Jamie) decided to quit my job and build a tiny house for my children and I. I was missing their growth. I was missing their evenings. I was missing bedtime and stories and snuggles. This tiny house is our solution to more quality time with each other. 
We enjoy eating off the land, catching sea food, foraging mushrooms, gardening, berry picking and preserving any and all food we can aquire. Food around the North Olympic Peninsula, which is where we live, is easy to come by if you are resourceful and a hard worker. The next largest expense in life is housing, so we are now going to tackle that with our current tiny house plans! Then, we are free to spend all of our free time with each other!

The picture above is a picture of Joshua and Shelley's house that they built on the Tiny House TV show. I just purchased my plans from them and I am excited to be building a very similar tiny house, because it is one that the boys and I like and can see ourselves living in, happily. 

With building a tiny house, I am excited for the possibilities of feed the kids dinner at night, and bathing them, and reading them stories and tucking them in for bed. And I will no longer worry about working to live, or living to work. Our goal is to enjoy life as a family and explore and seek joy in all aspects of life.
