Welcome to our small house living blog.
We're mad about small homes here. Little can be lovely, functional, family-friendly and something to be proud of.
A small home needs to have excellent storage, and often multi-functional furniture. Kitchens need to be organized and garages and bike storage well-thought out.
If you're living small with kids, or have a baby on the way and are wondering what you really need for a baby or even if it's possible to raise kids in small homes, this site is here to help.
I'm a mother of two rambunctious boys, and we do just fine.
I'm here to help you downsize efficiently, declutter to your best ability and ensure the gear you keep or buy serves you well.
