Nov 22 "Go Small" Dinner on Refinery29

I recently hosted a little dinner for four incredible Businesswomen / Mamas here at the Cottage. We chatted about some of the ways in which going small can enable us to live fuller lives— something that I know to be true after enjoying this tiny house with Adam and Stanlee for these past 5½ years. (And since then we've even grow by two residents: puppy Sophee and baby West!)

The story, which includes a video from the evening, is now up on Refinery29: Two People, Two Dogs & A Baby Live In This 362-Square-Foot Cottage

Story sponsored by Ford.

Had the privilege of being a guest at @whitneyleighmorris' beautiful cottage for a #GoSmallLiveBig dinner hosted by @Ford. Twinkly lights, wonderful food and insightful conversation with other self employed/small business ladies. I am always inspired by talking with women who are paving their own way. @Refinery29 #ad
