Welcome Homies!

Tiny Shiny Home
Feb 13, 2020
Hello and welcome to our little corner of the internet where we can create more of a community and connect on a more personal level. 

When we first started traveling full time, Instagram and Facebook were a great way for us to connect with like minded folks. It gave us a place to ask questions and learn from others, but now it's become a dark hole where all our content gets lost in the masses. 

We are craving more of a connection with the people who are on this journey with us. A place to learn from each other and offer encouragement. And a place where we can share our next big adventure with all of you.

For those of you who don't know already, we recently purchased land in southeastern Arizona and are creating our own little off-grid homestead. The land is empty. There is absolutely nothing there. No water, no power, no driveway. Just wide open land, but we have a plan. 

Beginning a homestead from the ground up is a huge endeavor. We'll continue living in our #tinyshinyhome while we work on building earthen structures and eventually our home. We want to document this entire process to share with others, but we need to create some revenue along the way to fund the dream.

If you've enjoyed following our family's journey, we'd love to have you become a #tinyshinyhomie by signing up for one of our monthly plans. Any plan you choose will greatly help us keep this content coming as well as give us a chance to get to know you better, too!

By joining our membership area, you'll be helping us create educational and fun content that we can share to help others wanting to do something similar. Every month that you support us you're literally helping our family purchase the tools we need to turn this barren land into a little oasis, and create content to share with all of you.

It's a big project, but with people like you, we can make this happen! ❤️

Cheers,

Tiny Shiny Home Crew

Hi! I spent more time looking back on some of your older videos. I became a sub when you met up with My Little Homestead. I have been following them for years. I signed up for your mailing list and it sent me to a video to learn more about your family and why you are doing what you are doing. In that video, Ashley you mentioned that your dream was wanting to make your homestead green. I wanted to give you a few links that I thought would help you do that very thing. You may already know them, but if not I hope they help. The three links I want to share with you are all about a guy named Jake Mace. He created a desert oasis right in the heart of the city in a suburb of Pheonix. He spent about five years turning his 1-acre yard into a literal fruit and vegetable permaculture enviornment. After he and his wife got a divorce, within a year he began traveling the world with a girl that is now his fiance and they are expecting their first child. They now have set up their homestead over the last three years near Vancouver Island in Canada and have great plans for more in the future. They live in a rain forest and he has started the process all over again using resources available to them there. Below are three links for videos either he has made or was made about him. I am sure these links will take you down a rabbit hole when you get a chance to watch them. lol They each offer interesting information that would be invaluable to your dream. Some may seem redundant at times, but it is the little nuggets that come out of them that make them worth viewing in their entirety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ93DLOXaKc&t=1735s&ab_channel=Handeeman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bcRUESwD08&t=2097s&ab_channel=OffGridAthlete https://www.youtube.com/c/AdventureswJakeNicole I love what you and your family are doing. I love being able to support your dream, and wish I could do more. But for now, this is all I can do. My prayers and blessings are with you and your family!

I finally decided to become a HOMIE. Being on a fixed income (75 yrs old) It' a difficult choice where I spend my extra pennies but the enjoyment I derive from your families journey makes my decision quite easy. There is nothing that I don't like about your multi-faceted presentations on U-tube. You guys ROCK and BTW, your children are amazing. I'm impressed with their hard work and dedication although I'm sure there is lots of negotiating behind the scenes. LOL Thanks to all of you.

Really enjoy your videos and watching your families journey in life. Also am enjoying the process of wrongs and rights in creating your shed, good information to have when starting my own builds. Y'all keep doing y'all and keep on keeping on!

Hi TSH Family!  I'm a 66 year old grandmother of 13, (hence Nana Pam) and have fallen in love with all of you!  I became a homie because I believe in what you are doing and want to support you even if I am living on a fixed income.  What you are doing and going to accomplish is SO important in this day and age!!  I wake up every morning, looking for the latest news from you, and go to bed dreaming about what I would do with my own high desert homestead (even though that will never happen for me - it's still therapeutic to dream about!) Know that I think about you all though out the day, every day, and desire the best of all things to come your way!  Love you all!  Nana Pam
