  • Lately this has been our favorite spot. We can watch the kids play in the grass while staring at the Sandias 🍉🌄 as the sun goes down. It’s paradise! Summer is treating us well! . . . . . . #skoolieconversion #rvfulltime #tinyhousemovement #skoolie #homeiswhereyouparkit #moderncamper #tinyhouses #minimallife #offgrid #tinyhousetalk #busconversion #tinyhouseliving #tinyhouselife #travellife #tinyhomeonwheels #tinyhomebuild #tinyhouseswoon #homemadehome #outboundliving #simplelife #livinggreen #vanlife #tinyhomes #tinyhousefamily #tinyhomes #camperlifestyle

  • We get asked often “why are you choosing to live in a bus?” People automatically assume we are homeless, out of work, or financially unable to afford a home. That’s not the case for us. We love this life, we moved out of our bus after 6 months of living in it and realized we missed the simplicity. Living in a bus is challenging but one of the most rewarding things we have ever done. It’s changed all of us for the better! It’s helped us to realize that nothing is worth being in debt! No house is worth stretching ourselves too thin. We know at some point a house is in our future but right now we are really happy right where we are. Our kids are mindful of what they bring into our home and know the difference between want and need. They have learned to find joy in nature and quality time with people and are kind hearted and friendly to everyone. We love living day to day and changing our plans for the future as much as we want. We love this #buslife for now....ask me again in January when I’m freezing and I may say something different 😂. Each winter we get a little more resilient and a little less high maintenance, but right now I couldn’t ask for anything more . . . . . . #skoolieconversion #rvfulltime #glamping #tinyhousemovement #skoolie #homeiswhereyouparkit #moderncamper #tinyhouses #minimallife #outdoors #naturelovers #outdoorfun #outdoorfamilies #unpluggedchildhood #bekindtoall

  • This skylight is beautiful right?! But it’s summer and it’s hot! During the winter it’s an awesome way to heat the back of bus. Right now it’s getting hot back there by 11am. So we are brainstorming ways to nicely block the sunlight during June, July, and August. I wish we would have built a small wood trim around the top that could support a small curtain like what @navigationnowhere has over his skylights but it’s too late now. Anyone have any suggestions??? . . . . . . #tinyshower #tinyhouseliving #tinyhouseonwheels #subwaytile #skoolieconversion #loveyourhome #toohotoutside #summerheat #skylights #busconversion #minimalisthome #energyefficiency

  • We no longer have the wood burning stove in the bus and I’m trying to figure out what to do with that space. Whenever we have it open we get asked constantly “what are you going to do with that area?” I laugh because we don’t really need to do anything with it. I’ve thought of putting up a coffee bar, adding shelves, a few cute decor pieces but I’ve never found the perfect items. Back when I owned a house it didn’t matter if it was perfect. Every wall needed to have something on it. Now we only allow perfect items into the bus. Perfect and functional. I’ve had to take back countless items to stores because they don’t serve the purpose well. Sometimes I miss the freedom of just browsing target for the next cute decor item but I love the way my mind has shifted to being mindful of purchases and only buying things that we need or will serve a specific purpose. Tiny living has changed me for the better. . . . . . . #letterfolk #livingtinyproject #minimallife #simplelife #loveyourhome #mydecorvibe #skoolielife #busliving #buslife #tinyhouseliving #offgridliving #homesteadlife

  • If my bus could talk I know she’d be crying her eyes out. Today is the day we say farewell to our BFFB (best friend forever bus). The Grey Wolf was the spark that started this journey for us and the Millers. Who knew that the day Denver sent us a selfie from behind the wheel of this school bus we all would be living where we are now. We celebrated Everest’s 1st birthday in him, hid from the rain in Seaside, Or in him, countless beers and late night desserts were consumed in him. I know it’s weird to get emotional over a bus but he was the start of this entire journey. Grey Wolf we will miss you and there’s no other butt we’d rather follow on the road. Godspeed my friend!!! The new owners are great people go show them some bus love @thesearchforsimple_ . . . . . #skoolieconversion #skoolielife #buslife #buslifeadventure #skoolie #homeiswhereyouparkit #schoolbusconversion #offgrid #roadlife #travellife #rvlife #tinyhomebuild #lifeontheroad #sustainable #simplelife #rvthereyet #minimalhome #camperlifestyle #campinglife #fulltimerv #openroadlife

  • Good morning and Happy Friday. We are loving the gorgeous sunshine this morning. We have a lot to do this weekend, I feel like we always have projects to get done around the bus. That’s #buslife right?!

  • One of Brandon's many hobbies is making his own kombucha. He's always tinkering with his recipes and tweaking things to make the perfect brew. Although, he usually has a batch going, there are plenty of times when he needs to purchase kombucha; usually when he's out or he's between batches. Having tried every brand and type under the sun (and spending quite a bit of $), he always goes back to @healthade. It's hands down his favorite brand of kombucha. Honestly, he likes @healthade because it actually tastes like kombucha and not like some sugary juice drink. Thank you so much @healthade for always bridging the gap between our homemade batches. . . . . . . #kombuchaaddict #FollowYourGut #HappyAde #partner #kombuchalove #kombuchatea #skoolieconversion #rvfulltime #vanlifedistrict #tinyhousemovement #skoolie #kombuchalover #homeiswhereyouparkit #moderncamper #tinyhouses #minimallife #offgrid #livetiny #booch #boochie #kombuchalife www.health-ade.com

  • New plant, who dis? • Now that old man winter is gone we have finally be able to refresh our plant collection. During the winter three of our plants froze to death, it was a sad time! I had kept them alive for an entire year (which is a record for me) and when they died I was so sad. Winter in the bus is already hard and then losing the plants that brought green into our cold lives made me long for spring more. I’m determined to keep these alive this year. I bought only succulents in hope that they’ll hold up the way my cactus did.

  • One of our favorite cities to visit 🌉🌁 and today we were able to enjoy it with some of our favorite people, our family. Went to Molinari Delicatessen, The Taco Shop at Underdogs and Kara’s Cupcakes, Sausalito, Lumbar Street, Ghirardelli Square, Bakers Beach, and we drove the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a busy but amazing day! Now we will be heading to Sacramento and Reno to celebrate the life of our amazing Aunt Laurie!

  • I spent the first 20 years of my life refusing to be empowered. Refusing to see my worth or my strengths. I doubted myself in every aspect of my life. I never felt good enough and never allowed myself to realize I was more than enough. This wasn’t because I didn’t have the support of people, but because I lacked confidence. This was most likely due to a rough childhood, but at a certain point you have to turn from the hard times and make a choice to turn towards a better future. • At 28, a switch flipped for me. I had spent too many years doubting my worth and I decided I no longer was going to allow the world to dictate how I saw myself. I decided I was going to be unapologetically me. I still say “sorry” way too much but I’m working on it. Though Im not sorry for who I am! I am a strong women, who loves Jesus, I am thoughtful and a good friend, I have a passion for supporting other women, homeschooling, building things, laughing, and cheese GLORIOUS 🧀. I love my family and my friends fiercely and I cry when I sing worship songs at church. I also cry when I see others cry, or when I watch birthing videos, or proposals or sons dance with their moms at weddings. Ok, I cry a lot! I’m not ashamed anymore to be who I am! • I think once I had my baby girl, I realized I never wanted her to be ashamed of who she was. I want her to be empowered not just because she’s a women but because she’s a wonderful human! I want her to love herself and use that confidence to love and build others up. I want her to be kind, make people feel loved, laugh at dumb jokes, hell, laugh at everything (people who laugh a lot are the best people to be around! @tamfarm), cry, be welcoming, grateful and be unapologetic for who she is and what she loves. I hope all of you women out there feel proud of who you are, because each of you are amazingly unique and wonderful! In an effort to support and encourage one another tag your best girlfriend and let me know why you think she’s amazing. Also thank you @coveredhands for our matching shirts.
