Floshea and Kalil Harrigan live in a 400-square-foot RV with their four children.
Kalil works remotely, and Floshea homeschools their children in the RV.
"My husband and I have fallen in love with the simple lifestyle," Floshea told Insider, as it's allowed them to live more intentionally.
But Floshea also wants people to know that living tiny doesn't make your life perfect.

The Harrigan family sort of stumbled into tiny living.
