We purchased an RV! A nearly 40 year old RV. A 1977 Dodge Rockwood to be exact. 20 Feet of Moving House. It gets a whopping 10 mpg (motor homes in general don’t get great mpg) – and I can’t really drive it any faster than 60 mph – but I still think it’s GREAT. Sure it’s just a little …

How To Sell All of Your Stuff
In February, Mark and I sold nearly all of our belongings in an epic 3-day sale (and we gave ourselves just under a month to prepare for it!). Here’s what we learned in the process: 1.) GET HELP!! Seriously – get as much help as you can. We absolutely could not have pulled this off or exceeded our sales goal …
Be Less Busy and Live More Life
We just arrived today at our latest cabin in the woods – deep in the North Carolina mountains. Other people are always making choices that affect you everyday – and mostly without your permission. They make decisions, rules, and schedules that decide how you will spend your time, for you. You know that’s not right. Of course we’re given the illusion of …
Why Your Family Should Travel

See a dining room table? Buy it. You want the rest of my sandwich I’m eating at the moment? BUY IT. Oh – …
What Leads Us to this Adventure
Three weeks ago I was house hunting in my city, just trying to find a home near my kiddo’s preschool and our awesome friends. Keeping life as status quo as possible. Now we’re selling everything and moving to a mobile life in the mountains, renting vacation homes on a month-to-month basis and saving up for our own TinyHome. I’m still …
Downsizing All Our Stuff
Stuff. So.Much.STUFF. Before we decided to shift to a nomadic lifestyle, we were already planning a massive downsize. Because, like most Americans, we have way too much stuff. This house we’re about to leave is the largest space we’ve lived in, and over the 2 years we’ve been here, we’ve managed to fill every closet, every storage space, every shelf …
What’s Our Plan?
Update 1/1/2016 We moved back to Atlanta last November. We got a house, we inserted our son back into preschool – and started working again. We’re about to leave for Hawaii in a few days – for just over a month. Right. Hawaii for a little over a month. We’re sorting out what all this means – being nomadic – …
