Living in a tinyhouse can be a challenge on days like this.

On a normal day, we would spend a lot of our time outside, which you kind of have to when you live in a small space like this.

When you live like we do, Spending a lot of time outside has it's obvious advantages.

• The fresh air, kids sleep much better when they have been out all day.
• The space, when you have 4 kid's space can be a relief.
• The kids can run and jump about as much as they please.
• There is a lot less to tidy up to do outside.

But when it rains it's a whole different story.

You really have to get creative on a rainy day in a tinyhouse, especially when you haven't owned a T.V for the last 5 years.

It is very important to keep the little one's busy and entertained on a damp wet day, or you will end up bang smack in the middle of world war 3.

Toy's are great and work very well to keep them busy, for about 20mins.

The Family Band.

This always works a treat, the kids love music time and after 10 minutes we all swap instruments so this can keep them all busy for a least an hour, we all get to show our skills and it's great fun to just bang away without worrying what it sounds like, unless of course, you happened to be parked next to us at the campsite.

After jamming it's nice to calm down with a bit of Jenga.

It's very important to have lots of puzzles and family games for day's like this, we don't have a lot of storage space, but when you have 4 kid's you have to fill at least half of that space with kid's stuff, or there will be trouble.

Living in a tiny house can be a challenge sometimes, and it takes a lot of getting used to, but the pros of living like this way outnumber the cons.

• The kids sleep way better because they sense you are close by.

• It's way-way cheaper living like this, we only have one bill for insurance, thats it's
• You get to change your view whenever you please, we love to park up mountains or by the sea.
• If you don't like your neighbors you just move.
• You feel completely free, freedom is priceless.

Cons.

• You have to go for a walk to use the toilet, or dig a whole if there isn't one.

Once we was having some mechanical work done on the truck and we had to go and live in a house for 2 weeks, we really hated it and couldn't wait to get back to our little cozy cabin on wheels.

We love this life, it has brought us all together as one unit and the bond between us is stronger than ever before.

peace and love to the world.
