I haven't been working at my "out-of-the-home" job the last couple weeks.
This creates several different situations in our Tiny House.
1). My son has to do a lot more of his homeschool work. For some reason he's been begging me to go back to work.
2). I have been able to focus on my animals: 3 goats, 2 new kids, 6 chicks, 2 ducklings, a rabbit and a hen.
3). I have time to go on walks and enjoy the sun, rain, sun, rain, sun, rain weather pattern we have been experiencing lately.
4). All the bedding in the house is getting washed thoroughly (I tend to focus on washing the essentials and other things don't get washed quite as often when I'm working).
5). Food calls out to me ALL DAY LONG and I am rarely able to resist...which of course means I need to go clothes shopping.
6). We eat healthier because I actually have time and brain capacity to think of a recipe, plan for the recipe, buy the ingredients and make the recipe...whew! Wears me out just thinking about doing that and working my "out-of-the-home" job! Full-time working momma's are my heroes!
7). I enjoy my tiny house more because, guess what? It's CLEAN and ORGANIZED! A tiny house is SO MUCH more enjoyable when it is clean and organized. I know almost every house is more enjoyable when it is in this state however in larger houses the mess can be less noticeable and a lot of things can be swept under the proverbial rug. I know. I had a 1700 sq. ft house. First, it was VERY hard to keep clean (even when I wasn't working) and second, one pile of papers, a couple blankets left out (even folded), a duffle bag left by the front door, etc. was not even HALF as noticeable in a 1700 sq. foot house as it is in a Tiny House!
When you leave a pile of papers out in a tiny house, you don't have anywhere to bake food.
When you leave a couple blankets out in a tiny house, you don't have anywhere to sit.
When you leave a duffel bag by the door, you can't get out the door!
Easy clean and (fairly) easy organizing is one of my absolute favorite things about living in a tiny house. Not only is my house staying cleaner than it probably ever has, I have more time to do the things I enjoy...like making my son do his school work...he might not like it but I'm super excited that we'll be done with school in time for summer break!
Oh and because they're just too cute ;)
