New article: This Was a Lot Harder Than Expected.

It’s late ⏰ I’m tired 😴 We’ve been in the tiny home for two months and somehow I’m still dealing with builders, tiles, cushions, kennels, Airbnbs and a never-ending to-do list.

This article was written somewhere in the middle of all that.

Why we don’t have a washing machine inside our tiny home.

It surprises a lot of people, but it was a conscious choice.

We actually have two laundry systems.

The first is a small caravan washer that sits outside the tiny home. The second is our local laundromat, which we use when the weather isn’t cooperating. With all the rain lately, drying clothes outside has been almost impossible, so we’ve been spending around $32 a week if we make two laundromat trips.

When we get a few dry days, we use the caravan washer and clothesline instead.

The biggest reason we chose not to install a washing machine inside was moisture.

Tiny homes have a much smaller air volume than a standard house, and I was concerned about introducing extra humidity and increasing the risk of mould over time. For me, the convenience wasn’t worth potentially compromising the home.

I also spent quite a bit of time researching the vibration and movement washing machines can create in tiny homes and decided I’d rather avoid it altogether.

Not that the laundromat is always glamorous.

Loading baskets, wrangling two toddlers, folding clothes in public… it can feel like a whole afternoon.

But somewhere along the way, we’ve realised these slower tasks have become part of our lifestyle.

The boys help load machines, sort clothes, and learn that caring for a home takes time.

It’s not always convenient.

But slow living rarely is.

That said… we are looking forward to creating a more permanent outdoor laundry setup once our deck is finished.

Tiny living is always evolving.

Would you rather have a washing machine inside your tiny home or outside? 👇

Sometimes I wonder how many moments in life I rushed through because I was always focused on the next thing.

The next goal
The next problem to solve
The next version of life that would finally make me feel “settled.”

But lately, I’ve realised something…✨✨✨

This season I’m living right now is one I once wished for during harder seasons of life.

And learning how to actually receive it has been its own journey.

🤎Not perfectly
🤎Not romantically
🤎Just slowly

Today’s Substack piece is a reflection on that feeling … learning how to appreciate what’s already in front of you before life moves onto the next chapter again.

People think the tiny home is the story…
but really it’s what the tiny home made possible.

More time together.
Less pressure.
Slower mornings.
A nervous system no longer constantly operating in survival mode.

I used to think success looked like “more.”

More money.
More productivity.
More achievement.

But lately I’ve been learning that sometimes the real flex is creating a life where your body finally feels safe enough to rest.

Tiny living didn’t magically heal everything overnight… but it created space for us to actually hear ourselves again.

And honestly?

That has changed everything.

✨ A Quiet Year of Becoming ✨
I almost didn’t write this post… mostly because this year felt like a blur of growth, change, and quiet lessons that only make sense once you pause long enough to reflect.
But I did finally sit down and wrap up my year in words.

This past year I wrote 23 articles… about identity, emotional growth, conscious living, tiny home dreams, and learning how to let go of old versions of myself.

Some pieces surprised me (hello, Gift Guide 😅), others stretched me emotionally, and a few changed me in ways I didn’t expect.

I wrote about:
• navigating identity shifts
• moving through emotional pain
• living more intentionally
• eco-living & community
• and the beginning of our tiny home journey
It’s been a quiet year of becoming… and I finally shared it all in one place.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re in between chapters, or slowly evolving into someone new… this one might resonate 🤍

Trying to capture behind the scenes as much as possible especially in design mode.

But it is exciting and overwhelming and I got honestly 100 tabs open on my laptop 💻 running at the moment

5 browsers on all handles
20 on my overall designs and Pinterest, Instagram, Canva, ChatGPT, suppliers and more

In Canva alone I have created 10 different whiteboards of every room to piece of furniture I have considered to put into this tiny and customise…. It is so detailed it’s crazy 🤪

Off to bed now… 😴 try to share more tomorrow
