It never ceases to amaze me how much our family can consume in yogurt. If I have 2 QTs and the kids see one person getting a serving… I can almost guarantee at least 1 QT will be eaten in that sitting. Which is totally OKAY, but I wanted to see if I could find a way to lessen the cost of a healthy treat!

Baking has always scared me… mostly because it takes measuring and I rarely measure (exact) food items, which results in failure for baking. BUT its like playing with playdough… and who doesn’t remember doing that ?! Whilst broken down here in Valdosta GA for 2.5 months I got bored and decided I was going to try to bake/make as many home staple foods that I could. I actually got a really good handle on a homemade bagels, some bread (loaves…
Continue reading...I’ve never considered “sharing my recipes on a blog. Mostly because it is a lot of work, especially if you cook without measurements like I do. Its a dash of this, handful of that, or I am using a 1/4c just to use for a scoop… maybe 3/4 ish cups… so it can be hard to translate it to measured directions. If I get a ton of questions about a specific recipes on Instagram, I’ll try and do my best…

After celebrating living our first year Living tiny & nomadic I was asked more than a few times this week to share some of the things that we don’t like about living tiny… and honestly it was a STRECH. It’s not that there aren’t parts of living tiny, its just a matter of what can you as an individual can handle. Over that past year, slowly the things that “kinda” bothered me, bother me less. We are having too much…
Continue reading...The kids have all sorts of money making entrepreneurial ideas and are always seeing something that they’d like to purchase. It’s time to teach them smart financial decision making skill sets that will not only set their minds up for success, but their ability to have as many adventures as they are financially capable of with good banking techniques. I’m sure if we all blindfolded ourselves in a room, asked basic questions regarding bad financial decision-making, hands would go up….

Want to budget travel? Get in your car for a good old fashion road trip! While we are parked in Vermont and still have our car, we figured we should go visit Maine! With Shiang-ling’s mom visiting for a week and friends that could “pet sit” we figured we could pop away for a little getaway! Is it crazy that we literally jumped in the car with a few things to hope to see and just went for it. No…

Don’t blink, time flies when you’re having fun. As our videos show on our YouTube channel and Instagram account you can see it. I can’t express what this time living tiny and nomadic has meant for someone like me. A father who was constantly away, missing all the small moments, and only catching a few of the bigger ones. This new lifestyle has not only impacted my perspective on family and my newfound understanding of tribalism and village mindset, but…

Ladies, I bet you can remember getting your period for the first time or when your little boobies started to grow and everything they accidentally hit HURT so bad! What about growing hair in all the places or shaving for the first time? I remember shaving for the first time like it was yesterday. I was maybe 8 or 9. I went to the bathroom after dinner and my dad left his razor out. I don’t know why but I…

Appreciation… Personally, Johnny here, that’s what comes to mind. Especially as we, assuming most were raised in areas where the advancements in life seem to be more eternal and never ending as our next breath. By this I mean: clean water from a tap, a market with a variety of local and non-indigioues species of vegetables, meat, and foreign foods, fuel for vehicles and gas stoves, the list goes on… Wait, wait, wait… Slow down, we’re talking about living in…
