I am a twin. I had a brother. We slept in the same bed. For 5 years. It can be done. My parents were in the same situation as you. And we was close . He's been gone for 10 years now. He had a bad heart. God-bless you and your family. And keep safe
I am 58 and it is refreshing to see a nice young couple on RU-vid who come across genuine and are just sharing their life and Information without yelling at the camera and making everything loud and sensational like many RU-vidrs do. You guys are off to a great start to your family life and keep everything in perspective. Your little house shows a lot of resourcefulness and economy, which is a wonderful way to live. Keep that and along with love you will go far.
Just an idea for the babies cribs... you can build crib bunk beds on the wall (kind of like mini Murphy beds lol) where you have the crib currently and have them be able to fold against the wall to access the closet and put those zipper enclosures around the beds to keep them in safely but still easy to put away and don't take up much space... hope that helps! 😊
@@tinyhousealaskalife Another idea that my parents did with me til I was 3¹/², I never had an actual crib, they put me in a Pack-n-Play. They are so versatile and fold away into a bag you can store away easily or travel with... My parents used it to put me to bed, to play safely nearby keeping me out of getting into things while my mom cooked and I had some toys in it with me or a movie on the TV, I used it out in the yard, and at friends and families houses for naps, play, and overnights... so easy to throw it in the car on the go! My mom swears by those and says she wouldn't have survived my early childhood without it! 😅
@@sashabenoit1518 mom of 5 here. First 2 kids we had everything and I mean everything. Looking back it was ridiculous lol. Pared down with each one and used a pack and play with the 5th. Loved it!
I applaud you both for building your own house/home…a roof over your head. What’s functional for you may not be good for others. Your children are still young, there’s time to improvise, you’ll learn to modify… safety is a must “first” to consider.💖
Pediatric NP here, poor little honey is grunting at times. Mama has a good grip (awesome!), but tummy is being pressed in, and up, affecting diaphragm and lungs. The few times she did have audible coos were super cute, but mom was so focused on giving the tour of their home, she wasn't paying attention to her breathing pattern. Love the home and the creativity that went into it, but the PNP in me took over, lol.(sorry)
I want what you have, maybe not in Alaska😊 Been shopping for vintage microwave, couldn't decide which one to buy until I saw yours. You have a lovely family and you're young and smart and happy. This is the way to begin young adult life.
I am so happy to have found your channel. Your house is so cozy! there is so much love in that house. You have a beautiful family! I love Alaska and am excited to find a new channel based out of Alaska.
I would build a covered front porch in the spring . Which can give you so much more usable / storage play area . Or dining area . Or used for a quieter office space . Or zones .
260 sq ft here with 1 child! Seasonal swaps are so important to me, I store my off-season stuff in a tote or 2 in the back of my SUV. It gives me an opportunity to go through everything seasonally and do away with stuff I dont use/need/doesnt fit, and helps things feel new to me again, curbing my shopping want for clothes. Also, order one of those miniature washers! They only do small stuff and its basically a tiny waterproof turbine ( amazon: portable clothes washer)... I use mine on socks, wash rags, and it would work for baby clothes! Mine takes USB ports and runs on less than 300W... great for camping! Might be handy in a tight situation for you. I think I paid 20 bucks and I just stick it in a bucket and let it do the work when I dont want to hand wash.
Hello, you have an adorable family. No worries, the twins are at a stage they don't mind the small space. Have you tried searching online for a mini bunk beds?You could probably even buy guard rails to up so they don't crawl out. Cute twins too! Love and Blessings from Virginia.
@@tinyhousealaskalife Okay sounds wonderful. Wishing you all of the best. I know it may be a bit overwhelming but it'll get better if you give it time. Blessings.
@@patriciacorpe6228 Oh wow, I didn't even know they existed. Just a thought that came to mind. But yes, her husband can easily build those stackable crib.
Now that is a tiny home that actually looks lived in, you both did an awesome job, I love it, and I love how you are making it work, especially with two babies. By the way, the babies are soo precious. I just noticed the date this was posted, I guess the babies are walking and into everything, bless their hearts. God Bless you all looking forward to seeing more of your videos. 🙂
When your babies start walking you'll find even if you put them in separate beds you'll find them sleeping together. My boys even though not twins I would always find them sleeping in the same bed in the morning. Awesome set up.
Love your tiny house, I live in my RV and it’s 19 foot by 6 very small but I love it I have everything I need you guys are awesome simple Mind simple life 💕👍🙏
You did the best you could with your space. Your space is realistic, not staged, I appreciate that. The ceiling is really beautiful, it gives a sense of space. With twins a washer and dryer would be very nice to have. I would choose them red to put beside the fridge. The storage for the spices could go underneath the shelves on the wall. But there would be very little space for the rocker. I was expecting stairs beside the bathroom for a loft and you have a closet instead. Hope you can get a bigger space soon. For $20 000 you did great.
I enjoyed the tour! We live in Ohio and about 8 years ago my husbands boss and his wife were in Homer. They are huge animal lovers and stopped at the shelter there “just to look”. They fell in love with and ginger kitty and flew him home to Ohio. They named him Homer of course!! 😁
Adorable babies !! Tiny houses are great for 2 adults. There isn't much space for crawling, learning toys/activity centers. The hanging cords, sharp corners 😮... so much to baby proof yet.
One of the goals of this channel is to show other people that you don’t have to have all these “things” that society says you need to be happy! So I hope through this channel we can share that with others!
@@tinyhousealaskalife so true and how many couples that accumulate so many things and yet very miserable it’s the people that makes a home. Lovely home and you don’t have to keep up with the jones I believe it’s a heart issue.💜
I love y'all set up. I think this is going to be the new normal because of the high prices.love your murphy bed and they cutie pie being close. God Bless your little family
I love your authenticity. Real life living. I am especially impressed that you do everything yourselves. Wonderful. I wish you all the best. Thanks for sharing a view into your world. Lovely babies.💌
Hello from Palmer, AK! Love your home, raised my first baby in a little under 300 square feet for almost 2 years. I actually enjoyed the challenge of trying to make a small space work and maximize it to the fullest extent. We are now currently in a space that’s a bit bigger, but went from no bathroom or kitchen to putting a toilet and sink in. Now waiting for spring to work on new projects. Anyways, loved seeing a realistic tiny home rather than one that you know is not the full picture. Thank you, loved seeing an Alaskan tiny home! We now have 3 kids, so definitely doable to have kids in a small space and children just love being with you all the time, even as they get older! Also, totally the person using a toaster oven and plug in stove, but if you get one big enough and buy a quality induction stove, you can cook/bake anything you really want. I cook/bake everyday probably more than most and have not had an issue yet. I also don’t have a sink in my kitchen, so have to walk all the way to the back of the house to get to our utility sink so that’s one of our spring projects to put the kitchen where the sink is. Very refreshing to see another family having to use and work with the space they have. :)
That will be so exciting when you get a real sink in your kitchen space! I know the feeling as we lived without running water for a little bit! Glad to have a fellow Alaskan watching along!
The twins are so cute, it's nice they'll have each other to play with as they grow up. One thing to remember as they do grow up, if you add some space to this home, is that these little ones stay tiny for such a short while, then they start growing into big tall people, some actually needing extra long beds. So You have to really plan for that. ❤
Thanks for sharing this tour. The way that the four of you are pulling this off is inspiring. Best wishes to you from the lower 48; I hope I can make it visit it Alaska someday
As much as I personally hate tiny homes, mostly due to me living in a super small apartment for 10+ years, your space is cute and functional for your family. I am sure you will eventually grow out of it but the memories you are making now will last a lifetime.
Congrats! We are also moving into 250-ish square feet in Maine with twins this spring, but it will only be for a few months while we build a 400sq/ft cabin over the summer, and our twins are 7, so major props to you!
That's what I would do, build what you need to be living in and add on as and when you need it. I think having the sheds outside to house the freezer and washer/dryer is a good idea too. I really like this.
Awesome job guys!! Thanks for sharing. Have you seen Jason and Julie Kreke RU-vid channel? They have 9 kids (I think) in a very small home. Maybe it would give you some ideas. Love how you’ve used the space!
You just came up on my feed and I subbed. I really enjoyed your tiny house tour and your babies are so cute. You house is wonderful- I look forward to watching your additions - I’m off to find the video about the Murphy bed you made!
Awesome! I grew up with a twin brother and as a girl it really was the the BEST relationship everrrrr. Still my bff to this day and we r 47. This reminds me of my parents telling us how they raised us in a tiny 300 square foot space until they grew their home. And we had rockers on there too. Your babies r the cutest n u look like the happiest new parents ever 😊 That's for opening your tiny home to us! Just awesome 😊 a fabulous labor of love lovely family 👪
Definitely think ahead - They hit 3 - - - Quadraple the SPACE - Trust me. It will set you up for homework space - play space. Also it will set you up for extra storage
Get another crib, and when they're older, make a pull out double day bed, where the parents sleep at the front of the house and make two day beds for the twins when they get older, where they currently sleep
I really like how you two have ur bed - I think for all the bigger your place is, you are managing very well. I agree once the twins are walking and growing you will need more space - just adding a bedroom for the children will probably increase your time of living in such a tidy home twofold or more. You've planned well for your space. I enjoyed your video.,,,,,,,
First of all.....beautiful family. Gal you do not look like you had twins 5 months ago! I love your tiny home. I have a tiny home too, roughly the same size as yours. I have way more room because it's only retired me and a bratty cat lol Absolutely think the murphy bed is fabulous. My favorite thing is the mobile! Keep well wee family
I love your place and that but, as the babies get bigger they're gonna need room to roam around especially when they start crawling. So if I heard you earlier, you're gonna be adding on. So that will be nice. It's nice to see that you're living your dream.I'm sure everything's gonna work out and I wish you the best.God bless all of you!!
A dishwasher is ALWAYS worth the space and there are many size options. Do add it to your priority list in your extension plans. With two little ones there are very many more tasks worthy of your time than washing dishes so well worth outsourcing that one to technology.
Very nice!!! I absolutely love how everything is organized and placed with such limited space. I actually have identical twins that just turned three. We live in a house right now that doesn't have any storage at all (no basement, garage, attic, one tiny closet) and I feel like we are just drowning in stuff. It helped to see all of your organization. Lol I forgot to add your babies are the cutest!!
Just seen you in my recommended and I’m glad I watched - I’ve subscribed to continue to watch. Gorgeous twins and very inventive use of all your space. Watching from the UK. X
The house looks bigger inside even with all the much needed things placed around inside. However, it drives me bananas with those tight bands around babies' heads. Imagine, having an elastic band around your head all day. They may be cute, but you end up with a fussy baby. Not criticizing, but just check the band for tightness. God bless you all!
Wow this is absolutely amazing. My favorite part in the ceiling. So beautiful and cozy. When you add on just think how exciting it will be to have more room. Love the Murphy bed also a great idea. You guys have a beautiful family and what you’ve accomplished is very impressive.❤️
Love your home, imwatch a ton of tiny homes and I'll say yours seems to be the most realistic and functional I've seen In a while. You did a great job . It is small but doesn't seem as small as it is. Great layout and design. I've got twin sons adu,to now but don't know if I could've done what you do . Would love to see day in life videos and cookingvideos as well.
You have a really cute and cozy home. Everything is so well planned. I am thinking off down sizing myself. I am currently going through my cupboards and clothing to see what I actually need and use.
Finally, a tiny house that looks like someone actually lives in it! I love your softspokenness, it's relaxing. Had to laugh at the canned moose, like it's an everyday item lol.
Hi I'm a new subscriber . Thank you for sharing your story , your house looks nice and cosy and warm . You are both really clever and such a lovely family . ❤
