Sometimes less can be so much more…

We moved into a 400 square foot bus and most people might say we’re crazy for it. At times I’ve wondered if we are crazy. Is this way of life right for our family? Then I look around. I see our kids running and playing. Smiling and laughing as they chase after each other. I see the beautiful landscape that surrounds our home. Mountains as far as I can see. I see a more relaxed side of my husband, we’re joking with each other and enjoying each other’s company more than we had been. I realize our family is closer than ever. We’re not constantly on the go rushing from one place to another. Life seems to move more slowly. We enjoy our time together and cherish the memories we’re making. I never would have thought moving into a smaller space would bring so much happiness to our family, but we are thriving. I feel so grateful to live this life of freedom and adventure. If I could go back to when we first thought about traveling full time and tell myself one thing, it would be that everything will be okay and this is exactly what we need. That everything will work out in the end and so much lies ahead for us. Sometimes all you need is less. Less stuff, less house, less stress.

Maybe less really is more.
