life, love and a dash of chaos

Rediscovering America with 5 kids and a dog.

Welcome to Five Little Rascals, a journey through America’s landscapes, history, and everyday moments. Here, we’re sharing stories of our adventures as we travel across the country with five kids, a Welsh Springer Spaniel, and an open mind to what each new day brings. Join us as we rediscover the beauty, challenges, and surprises that make America so unique.

Our family on the move

We’re a family of seven on a mission to explore America’s past and present. After nearly five years in Australia, we’re traveling across America to learn about the places, people, and history that shape our country. With five young, curious travelers and a dog in tow, each stop offers us a new perspective, plenty of laughs, and lessons along the way.

Our Journey to rediscover together

Our journey is about reconnecting—with America, with family and friends, and with each other. We’re exploring how our nation was built, how we innovate, how we connect with nature and how we express ourselves. Flexibly planned and filled with impromptu discoveries, our trip is a chance to live in the moment, learn patience, and make memories that last. Follow along as we uncover stories big and small that shape who we are as a family—and as a country.
