Howdy There!
I’m Tiffiney, and I’m coming to you live from my “Little House on the Freeway” in Brooklyn, NY, where I live with my husband and our 6 kids (these days it’s only 4 kids).
(Here’s 3 of the 4. I’m never letting them go!)
I affectionately refer to my home as my “Little House” because of my love for the Little House on the Prairie TV series and books, which have inspired me to live a simple and uncomplicated life. So, because I live in a little house on a busy street (with four lanes of bustling traffic and a bus!), I was elated to call my home my Little House on the Freeway.
We took this Little House inspired family portrait back in 2004. (Yes, my family hates me!)
I fought my husband tooth and nail about buying this home and I resented him for years for doing so; but eventually God’s teachings penetrated my heart and that feeling of discontent was turned upside down . . . and today I LOVE OUR LITTLE HOUSE!
(Alexis plays in our garden on Easter Sunday.)
I wrote the following posts out of hard lessons I learned about loving and appreciating my home. Perhaps they will inspire you to love your home with all of your heart as well.

From my home to yours,
Tiffiney,
I’m reading your devotional and going through your links and I’m loving it! Very encouraging! I just love your picture window – especially this one with the “My Lord He is Risen” sign. Cute decor in the garden; not to mention the very cute kid! : ) During Feb I put hearts in the window, and in March shamrocks, but I think I need to be more intentional about Easter! I have a flag, but I like your idea.
Go for it, Janine! And I’ve got to start putting up a shamrock or two in my March window display. (I’m still working up the nerve!) 😊
