I know, i know . . . living in a tiny home “Skoolie'“ is totally in right now, and I am part of that hype!

Well, I am here to tell you what it is really like living and Mothering in a Tiny Home School Bus!

I’v now been adventuring with my two toddlers, puppy, and my love Shane since April 2018. Holly heck what a dream come true it is, but also….. holy hell none of those Tiny Home Instagrammers ever told me about so many of the things I have experienced. So here it is, I’ve written about the top 10 things you should REALLY know about before moving into a mobile tiny home with your family!

As we enter the realm of new motherhood our sleep deprivation and concern for baby can get the best of us if we don't have the right help. After delivering our newborn, sleeping enough to heal and keep our sanity can be a real struggle and can even seem unattainable at times. I remember staying awake some nights praying for help, not really knowing what help meant. Well, I finally found the answer for you mommies out there who need more peace of mind and sleep! Owlet baby monitor is the new best friend to the sleep deprived mother and father! . . .

I absolutely LOVE our new Mountain Buggy Duet Stroller! I've had this stroller for almost 4 months now and it is definitely the perfect stroller for us. Both of my children fit comfortably in the seats and enjoy the smooth ride. As an infant my son was able to lay in the seat when it was completely reclined back. He is now 4 months old and the straps easily adjust small enough to hold him in a safe seated position. My daughter is almost 2 years old and she loves her stroller! When I bring it out she runs right over to it, climbs in, and attempts to strap herself in. . . 

Have you ever taken the time to think about what's in your child's toys? What are they made of and where do they come from? What is in your supplements and creams? How do they affect your health?

These are all very important things to ponder. Children and babies are very likely to put their toys in their mouths and rest their gentle skin on them. Little ones are also likely to to get into your products, lick the sunscreen off of their arms, and are much more sensitive to chemicals than you might be.  Many toys are made out of toxic plastic or other materials that have not been tested for safety. Wood toys can be a safer alternative but don't forget to consider the paint that covers them. Finding safe toys for our children these days isn't as easy as you'd think! . . . 

As a young mother of 2 young children I am faced with the dilemma of whether my children should be exposed to, allowed to use, or play with technology. There are many views and opinions about this and I respect many of them. In my perfect world I would live in a more secluded area away from the city, away from telephone lines at each corner, away from televisions at each gas pump, media on billboards and so on. I'd live in a place where we went to the neighbor's house to deliver a message and walked to the local store to place an order. However, this is currently not my immediate reality.  As I thought hard and long about this came to a place of realizing the most important thing is to be truthful with myself and my children about our current reality. . . .

After my journey of labor and delivery it seemed to me that I would never be able to catch up on sleep, recollect enough energy to go on strongly, or break out of my delusional state of being. I felt as if I were in an airy dream coated with sweet babies and doused with achiness that would never fade away. So. . . it is one month later now and I STILL feel these things! However I must say with each day the delusional state fades away a little bit more and the dream I am in becomes more acceptably my reality. . .

As many mothers enter the mid stages of pregnancy they begin to wonder, get excited about, or anxious about their babyshower. "What will it be like? Is anyone going to throw one for me? Who do I invite? Can I host it myself? Should I make a registry?" There are so many questions that can go running through a mother's mind and I have one simple answer from my experiences of having 3 baby showers . . . make it what YOU want it! After all, it is your pregnancy, your baby, and your dream come true...

"At the threshold of delivering a new life into this Earth, still in awe at the magic in my first born baby, captured in wander at life itself. Motherhood was meant for me, I was born to create life" ~ Mommy Misty Jame

The further I allow myself to slip into and disappear fully into the world of Motherhood and creation of life, the more comfortable and fulfilled I am with my duty here on this Earth. As the rest of socializing becomes distant and the focus magnifies on the village I am creating and part of with my family, I begin to feel safer and can rest softly into my role. Babyboy is coming soon...
