Petey Boy and his Family's journey to a simpler, healthier and more sustainable life.
2013 was a crazy year for the Fat and Crunchy Family. We moved across the country, added a new member to the family, and worked on some fun projects. As you are aware, I’ve let the blog stagnate and I’m sorry about that. I thought I’d be able to get back to it once we were settled. But the truth is, it still doesn’t feel like we have settled at...
Hello All, Our family has a few things to share. Those of you at the December Tiny House Chat know this already, but I thought we should share with everyone else. The first one is that we are expanding. In fact, by next month, we should have a brand new member of the family. A second little boy. Hurray! Second big announcement is that we’ve moved! Not just down the...
We did this interior painting in September. We did a white wash look on a few walls and a full white for most walls. Abby and I came up with a great idea to add a unique quality to our living room area. We stenciled a quote on the wall. “Live Simple. Dream Big.” Here is Abby putting up the tape....
Happy Holidays Everyone!...

I have neglecting posting for too long. We have been so busy… as you can imagine. Though I am constantly thinking about it and taking pictures for it, I just forget to make time to actually share those with you. If you want more frequent updates… you can follow me on Twitter or Tumblr… but those also have non-Tiny-House things mixed in. But the good news is that I have...
I started a weight loss journey on started May 17th, 2011. Each week I thought I’d weigh in and let y’all know how I was doing. By week 6 I stopped recording… because by week 8 I wasn’t losing weight or actively trying. BUT, wouldn’t you know it, I’ve started to try again. And I’m down to 299lbs. (started at 324). This is a large milestone and is very motivating....
A few people have pointed out that we haven’t posted our updated Tiny House layout. Whoops. I’ve been meaning to do it… but just have been too busy. Having said that, I’ve got some time today to sit in front of the computer and give y’all a look at our layout. Here is the general floor plan with the loft transparent.The Left side of this picture is the front of...
Wow… it has been way too long since I updated. It has been a busy summer. We have made lots of progress. Most importantly is that we have the exterior 97% done. All of the vinyl siding is up and the metal roof is on and looks sweet. Check out the pictures below. P.S. I’ve started a Tiny House Photo album on Google + that people can stay up to...

Otherwise, scope out the video below. If you are new here, check out our Tiny House Journey to get see why we are doing what we are doing. If you’d like more...
