The chaos of modern life can be a bit overwhelming. Maybe that's why so many of us feel this pull to minimize our lives and break out of the rat race. These next five homes-from hobbit holes to earthships-really get my creative wheels turning!

We've officially been full-time van lifers for more than a year! When we began our van conversion, we weren't sure exactly what we would need for full-time van living, but we had a pretty good idea. There were several things that we waited an unnecessary amount of time to purchase, and the small investment made a world of difference! Here are eight essentials to include in your van build! 

I have to confess, we are a little obsessed with the tiny house movement. There are so many alternative ways of living & making something uniquely your own. These skoolie’s have us dreaming of cozy spaces and maybe even more kiddos, haha!

I remember spending hours on Instagram scrolling through images of converted vans and dreaming of what life would be like once we finally took the plunge and built our own. I knew there would be things that would change, but we were ready for it! Or at least we thought we were.
