For the last three years, I have published an ‘ask me anything’-style newsletter in August to coincide with my birthday. It’s now officially an annual tradition; here’s last year’s Q&A, 2024’s edition, and 2023’s installment.
Once again, I am giving paid subscribers a chance to ask me questions. Sometimes these questions are purely practical, like someone who wants to know how I store seasonal bedding. Other times the queries are more big picture. Last year a reader asked about living small and class anxiety, for example.
What would you like to ask me, preferably relating to living small and/or sustainably? To ask your question comment on this post before the end of day on August 17th (only paid subscribers can ask questions). I’ll answer as many as I can in next week’s edition of LIVING SMALL.
Thank you so much for being a part of this community and for supporting my work.

When do you catch yourself daydreaming about more space?
What makes it feel worthwhile?
How do you position your choices to your son (if he asks)? (Curious because ours has just turned 8 and suddenly “why don’t we have a backyard / pool / trampoline” has become a more regular conversation.)
What are the next dreams / curiosities / adventures you’re dreaming about?
When your son was younger, was hosting playdates a challenge? Or sleepovers? Curious about how you navigated kids wants with your home’s size!
