    My admiration goes to anyone disciplined enough to home school, but even more so being a nomadic. Great use of space.

    I like it that they live outside. Back when homes were 1000 square feet, as kids, we were only inside to eat and sleep. Rainy days were the worst but it looks like the current desert location solved that!

    When she said made mention that this lifestyle is a tradeoff, she is spot on. I make a nice living, have a nice home etc., but now that I'm in my 50's, running in the rat-race is wearing thin. I like her attitude - although a bigger trailer looks to be needed.

    Don't ever let any one tell you you can't live how you want. I have a bicycle camp trailer. But I have a shower and bathroom. So I built it my self, and not about to pay 1800 for an apartment, when next month it's 1800 again. Not! That 1800 is going in my pocket, when I payed 2,500 to build my own design one time. And the other 3,200 for that year goes to me and my daughter's welfare. Or they say it's to big to park here. So good for you and your family.

      Kids that go to public school only know what their teacher teaches them. These kids are getting experiences that most "normal" kids will never understand. Calling them "loosers"?
