A Little House on a Trailer

Wow! Google knows us so well. This morning, at the top of our gmail screen, they had this link waiting for us. We don't usually follow gmail's links -- but something about the words "little house on a trailer" made us want to click.

If you haven't clicked already, let us tell you what you'll find: a mini-documentary by Mark Hoffman called "dream house." The short is about 4 minutes long and it follows Dee Williams as she explains why she decided to change her life and seriously (we mean seriously) downsize her home. She actually calls it "smart-sizing" -- a term we think we might have to adopt.

Our favorite quote from the film?

"I have to move the refrigerator," Williams says as she hauls a tiny blue cooler away from her house. "I think right now it's just got half-and-half and beer in it. What more do you need?"

It's funny, thought-provoking and inspirational -- definitely worth a few minutes of your time.
