A Journey Home

Hey everyone! We're Erik and Meghon and we're aspiring tiny housers! The tiny house movement has been sweeping the nation and we're dying to join in! A tiny lifestyle isn't for everyone, but we've had a few years to decide that it definitely is for us. There are a number of financial and environmental benefits to living small, and we hope to cover a lot of those here. Erik and I have been dreaming of a tiny house for around two years. Now that we're engaged (YAY!) we want to really dig our feet in and get our tiny life started. We want to share our journey here! Every step of the tiny house journey is important, and we want to document ours for a couple of reasons. We want to strive to be a part of the wonderful tiny house community. We hope to connect with other aspiring tiny housers, and tiny housers that are both still in construction and finished with their builds. We hope to contribute to the sharing of knowledge and resources that the community has to offer. We also want to help others like us. Our goal is to raise enough money, with the help of our gofundme campaign, to build our tiny house, and to donate to other tiny house campaigns. We will continue to raise money for this cause long after our build is complete, in an effort to make an impact on the earth, in the effort to end homelessness, and in an effort to help others achieve their dreams.

Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them!

We were never meant to live life accumulating stuff. We were meant to live simply enjoying the experiences of life, the people of life, and the journey of life - not the things of life.

Customizing minimalism to your needs:

My current rule is that I only keep things that either have a use or are sentimental items.  Some people don’t keep sentimental items.  Its all up to you to customize minimalism to your needs.  Don’t feel like you need to get rid of things you don’t want to.

Why Minimalism?

Save Money- In the beginning it may seem as though you are spending heaps of money but  by the end you will be saving more than you know

Stress Free-This can help save you lots of stress because minimalist livin’ is simple livin’

Clutter-less-The whole reason for becoming a minimalist is to declutter your life, your house and  your mind. 

Environmentally Friendly- If you choose to go full out and become a true minimalist, your way of living could have a helpful effect on the environment.

Freedom- More time to do the things you love rather than stress about life

Quality Possessions-  Quality over Quantity is a huge part of this life style

Aesthetically Pleasing- Your house and wardrobe will become visually pleasing 

More Time- To spend with kids, friends, family, to workout, start a hobby, learn a language, the possibilities are endless

Healthier Mind and Body- You will have more time and money to put in to help  better yourself

These are just some of the countless ways minimalism is a great way of life. While its not for everyone, the few who do brave the process will be rewarded in time.

Our path to minimalism is a long, hard one to walk and I think I'm a little more excited about getting rid of all of our stuff than Erik is, but we're both equally excited for the outcome!
