Learning the Steps, Planning & Preparations, Thoughts & Musings

The little things…

A couple years ago, I was mentioning how I knew that this wouldn't be all sunshine & sparkles. I was trying to be realistic about how not-easy it would be to live in a tiny space and deal with traveling every couple weeks. I knew that it wouldn't be a piece of cake, especially since… Continue reading The little things…

Planning & Preparations

I’ve rounded the corner

I'm so excited! I will be painting with Kilz tomorrow morning, then the colors on Thursday. If all goes well, I should be done with the walls no later than Friday, then I can start on the floor. I am running a little late on that, but I discovered that porch paint will work well… Continue reading I’ve rounded the corner

Thoughts & Musings

Stabilization

Another long while before I'm able to come in here and share my thoughts with you all. There are so many changes since I last posted! I'm not even sure where to start, but let's see where the train of thought takes us, shall we? This morning I had the desire to listen to some… Continue reading Stabilization

Planning & Preparations, Thoughts & Musings

Closer and closer

I have nearly all my stuff in the living room now as I prepare for moving day. It feels strange to know that the next place I call "home" will be temporary but, in a way, they always are. This corner, in my 850 square feet apartment, contains almost everything that I'll be taking with… Continue reading Closer and closer

Hesitations

Even though my progress through the house-cleaning has been slow lately, I can see more clear spaces and organization. I even find myself annoyed when I leave fabric or yarn where it shouldn't be (which will be a great thing once I'm in a tiny space). I've gotten a few bins here and there and… Continue reading Hesitations

Conversations & Coffee

Lately, I've been taking a very hard look at how I use the things around my house and realizing that some of them are just not going to work in an RV. My French press, for example. To those who've never used one, you add fresh grounds to the carafe, pour in some boiled water,… Continue reading Conversations & Coffee

Thoughts & Musings

Memory Lane and New Paths

Now that the issue with Brianna's school has been settled, it's time to focus again on my plans as well as work on a few projects I have going. One of those projects is a story of my childhood that I intend to share with my dad since he didn't know me while I was… Continue reading Memory Lane and New Paths

Planning & Preparations

Slowly, slowly

As cold temperatures race through the country, I can't help but wonder how I'm going to handle the winters. Oh, I have ideas of adding insulation, possibly the under-floor heating, and lots of wooly rugs, but will that be enough? I know that I could just drive somewhere where the temperatures are a little nicer,… Continue reading Slowly, slowly

Planning & Preparations

A little less clutter

I've been working more and more on clearing things out so that I can be closer to ready when it's time to go. My old dresser has a new home, pots & pans have been sorted, clothes are chosen, even jewelry has been gone through. Most of these things are still in the house, but… Continue reading A little less clutter
