I’ve always been attracted to the concept of tiny house living for many reasons:
I’m fascinated by them! Tiny houses are part of a current societal trend I find interesting—minimalizing the impact we have on the planet.
They fired my creative synapses! That creativity led to this novella, after all!
I’m a romantic at heart. Tiny homes are, gosh darn it, sort of romantic and intriguing and fun—especially as settings.
While it doesn’t fit my current stage of life, I have contemplated living in a tiny house. Maybe one day, but right now I see them as a fun second home to have on lakefront property. A place to get away to.

Fortunately, readers don’t have to live in a tiny house to enjoy “Big Love.” But what if you’re seriously considering taking the plunge to tiny- or small-house living?
That’s great! You’ll enjoy “Big Love” then, for sure. If you haven’t plunged yet, but are thinking about it, here are 10 things to consider—especially if you have children at home—that may take the romantic stars out of your eyes. Or not, if you are really committed to small house living.
Diane and Chris, who author the Small Home Family blog linked to above, have two children and live in a 400-square-foot tiny house.
What are your thoughts on tiny house living? Do you say “yes” or “no” or, like me, “maybe” in the right circumstances?
