We had big dreams for my daughter’s tiny home—two bedrooms, a bathroom, even a porch. But life had other plans. In this video, I share the real story behind why we had to scale back, what we’re doing instead, and how we’re building hope one step at a time.
You’ll hear how we ended up choosing a smaller pre-built shed, how we’re keeping costs down, and why sometimes starting small is the smartest choice. Whether you’re building your own tiny home, downsizing, or just trying to make ends meet, this one’s for you.
