We are the "Big Family," although a family of six doesn't seem that big to us. We both come from families that are larger than the national average -- which dating back 50 years has been less than 4 people per household -- but certainly not HUGE families. Especially if you look at some other countries like Saudi Arabia or Morocco where the average household is greater than six people. Bottom line is that by today’s standards, we are a large family. We are on an adventure to lead a Tiny Life, which is a little misleading. Our plan is to shrink our consumption, live a more intentional, cost-efficient and sustainable life. By doing these things, we will be able to live SO MUCH BIGGER! Obviously, we are focusing on fitting a BIG family into a TINY life, but the site should not be read “Big Family, Tiny Life,” but more as “The Big Family Tiny Life.” Join us on our adventure! It’s going to be fun!
