This internet has really gotten the best of me. As I down my 2nd cup of coffee, Adam is still asleep and Eunee is on my lap… I stumbled upon The Tiny House Blog.
For those of you who know us, may know that we have been talking more and more about having a baby sometime in the near future. Well, my nesting craziness must be in full gear (at least that is what I have heard it is called) I am cooking way more than normal, reorganizing the house on a daily basis(all 350 sq.ft) in a much more intense way than normal and dreaming of where on earth I want to end up and in what kind of a home.
Adam and I talk often and have decided at least at the moment that we definitely want an open space. The idea of small and multifunctional is a must for us. We have learned that we don’t need a lot of space, we would like enough space though to live comfortably with a child and of course have a guest room for company…but we are not in need of anything in excess.
This my friends is a Modern Cabana. It is bascially 2 or 3 prefab boxes placed nearby connected by pathways. I can already imagine having an eating space and kitchen in one, a living space and guest bedroom in another, a master bedroom in another..all connected by beautiful walkways. (I can hear the question already…what about rain or snow…as for snow… I won’t be living anywhere near snow so don’t worry about that one, and as for the rain..bring on the nature!) Each one runs between $11,000 and $30,000 depending on the size and windows etc. that you want.
I wonder if you can custom make one of the boxes a second story?…
I absolutely love it.
Another option is a shipping container house. They appear very similar to this box house idea. I kind of love it as well! Numen has some amazing photos and floor plans. 
There are no official prices, but their site says that a house runs between $100 sq/ft to $150 sq/ft. I am in love with the idea of windows and nature and I know Adam is too. Put a little deck on that baby, grow a garden out back, get some canoes!
So someday, when we find the right place, have saved up a bit more money and are ready to make a forever home… the ideas are all stored (no pun intended) and so ready to go!

Intentionally and incrementally. Most families who live this way did not leap from conventional to adventurous overnight. They built remote work capacity, paid down debt, tested longer trips, and had increasingly honest conversations about what they actually want from their lives. The leap feels bigger from outside than from inside.
Different for every family. For some it is long-term travel. For others it is weekend adventures close to home. What connects them is intentionality about how time is spent and a preference for experiences over accumulation. The version that fits your family is the right one.
By finding stability within the adventure rather than treating them as opposites. Routines, rituals, and family rhythms travel with you. Familiar foods, bedtime routines, and predictable family dynamics provide stability even when the location changes. Kids need consistency in relationships more than consistency in geography.
That people are fundamentally similar across cultures in what they want for their families. That comfort zone is a smaller circle than it feels from inside. That the things worth having in life require effort and discomfort to get. And that time together doing hard interesting things is the most reliable source of family closeness.
By getting clear on why you made the choices you made and returning to that clarity when the outside noise gets loud. Most families living unconventionally describe an initial period of explaining themselves that gradually gives way to just living the life. The explaining becomes less necessary as the results become visible.
