And I thought my house was tiny...

You have to check out these Tiny Tumbleweed Houses. The smallest featured home, the Biensi, is 70 square feet. A set of plans for the miniscule home--which can fit inside a parking spot when fully constructed--is $997 and the materials to make it will cost about $14,000. Those reluctant to build it themselves can purchase a finished home for about $35k.

Most of the Tumbleweed Houses are designed to be buit onto trailers, which can then be pulled by a truck...perfect for moving your home around on a large tract of land, or for a simple cross-country relocation. Just hitch up the trailer and you can go anywhere.

Watch this YouTube video of one such tiny-home dweller, where she drives her tiny home into a large subdivision... it's pretty funny!

Welcome to My Simple Home!

Many of us long for simplicity in our lives and in our surroundings. For those of us who are stay at home wives and stay at home mothers, simplicity in our homes is especially important as we spend so much time in them.

Part of the reason I started this blog is to motivate myself to simplify my own home in the areas where it needs some inspiration. To that end, and to encourage others, I welcome your comments, ideas, links and contributions. Please email me if there's a topic you'd like to see covered here.

Enjoy My Simple Home -- and yours, too.
