After selling their 2500 sqft house to downsize into 350 sqft tiny house, they said goodbye mortgage & hello adventure! They moved cross-country; their plan: live in 5 states in the next 5 years. Their tiny home is wonderfully suited for family life, including homeschooling & working from home. It has a standing-height master bedroom, kids' bedroom loft & school/play loft (possibly a future 3rd bedroom). ✨👉 Follow tiny house family adventures: @LivingTheTinyDream & linktr.ee/livingthetinydream

    I loved seeing this black successful family being able to be shown in such a great light. Being a black woman in America, it seems all too often that we are looked at like we don’t live normal lives like everyone else. Like the color of our skin means we live wild or something. I just loved this entire story. I love living tiny as well. Definitely looking more into this.

      My 15 year old (oldest kid) is almost 6 feet tall. I'm sure we could cram ourselves in, but we might not like each other as much. I hope to have each kid design and build a tiny home as a senior project (if time allows) so they have a place of their own even if it stays parked on our property. It would be a kind of final life skillset we could give them as they begin to spread their wings and leave our nest.

And that was cool too. I'm not in a tiny house, but as a senior now with grown kids who happen to be minimalist, I've downsized to quaint, cozy, comfy, chic senior independent living. And I love it.

      Yes, our grandparents & great grandparents lived in small home dwellings and knew how to manage with large families back in the day.
      My grandmother had 12 children and also raised my 4 cousins who lost their parents. They lived in a 4 bedroom small home with one bathroom. Years earlier they lived in a home with an out -house. So it’s doable to live in these new “tiny homes “ if it functionally efficient. More than ever the past few years, people are re-examining what is more important, especially after Covid . They are going back to basics. Spending more time with their family, traveling , having dinner together, young adults moving back in with their parents due to high rents ect It’s a new movement transitioning to slow down and have a better work / life balance, enriching experiences. I enjoyed this video because this family demonstrates that it can be done if planned appropriately. To be mortgage free is a blessing! God bless! 😊❤️

    Being a mother of three boys that are now 21,17, & 15, I wonder how long they can keep those kids in that small bedroom space. Maybe as they need more space they might find that they need to use the "school" loft as a bedroom. I live in an 800 sqft home and had my 17 & 15 year olds sharing a small room until last spring. I finally decided to split my small-ish rectangular livingroom in two to create another bedroom. The smaller livingroom was well worth the sacrifice to stop the constant fighting! Lol That being said, I like the way they divided up the kid's bedroom loft with a dividing wall that doubles as storage. The decals are a nice idea and easy to change out as their interests change with age. Overall, I agree with the other comments about this being a great tiny home. I'm from Massachusetts too and wish that we were allowed to have them here. When my kids are out on their own I'd love to get one, but don't know if I want to move...especially if it would be far away from them.

    • @LivingTheTinyDream
      @LivingTheTinyDream ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Moving one child to the 2nd loft is the plan and relocating the home school supplies. We are also considering a container build as the kids get really older. They’re adaptable so we’re enjoying every step
