I know what you mean about the time to declutter to such living! When we first moved into our 28ft bus with our toddler-at-the-time it used to take us 45 minutes to 'make ready to travel' and 'make the place ok to live in' with the hallways full to beyond knee deep in stuff.

I enjoyed your tale - I reminisced. There's something that's manageable about tight living like that. We spent 4 years living in a yurt and a the bus for some of it with out kids, until we lost the land we were on and had to take a house for a while.

Our 2 (now 4) children really struggled as they had no concept of 'garden' or needing to restrain themselves out of respect for neighbours rights to enjoy their spaces too.

It was a painful adjustment to move back into boxes from the lovely round of the yurt and its blazing fire. We used to find the same thing - people would ask if we would get cold, and while it may be cold in the morning 'til the fire gets going, we could be naked, doors open in the snow outside because it was so hot!

We homeschool too so interested to hear what you get up to, though I've not blogged about that at all yet - really new on here.

I must admit, I don't really add many personal pictures on social media and whatnot and I've seen a lot of lovely personal family stuff on Steemit, but haven't felt like going there yet myself.
