ANNOUNCEMENT: Tiny House Blog Welcomes A New Voice

How many of you are familiar with the “Tiny House Living” concept? It’s an idea that’s been around for awhile but has been gaining incredible momentum over the last few years. If you’re into things like minimalist living, sustainable living, small spaces, tiny houses, cabins, yurts, RVs and travel trailers, chances are you’ve heard of Tiny House Blog; a great resource with some very inspiring ideas.

All over the world people are being inspired to seek out a simpler life. It wasn’t until several months ago that we realized we are already part of this movement.

Andrew Odom has been following our blog since the very beginning. He quickly reached out and introduced me to a not-so-tiny online community of like-minded people.  Andrew Odom writes for Tiny House Magazine, Tiny House Blog and his own website, Tiny r(E)volution. He and Kent Griswold (founder of Tiny House Blog) then recruited me to offer my perspective about living in a tiny floating home and write a couple of articles for Tiny House Magazine.

Today, I have much bigger news.

Today, Tiny House Blog officially welcomes a new voice to it’s team of writers. You guessed it… YOURS TRULY!
