Hey guys, and welcome to Our Stray Tribe, just a little blog about a big family (of 8) making their way around Australia…In a bus!

As much as we loved the comforts of our life and trust me, we lived very comfortably, we were stuck thinking “There’s gotta be more to life.”

We wake up in the mornings and it’s go, go, go. Get ready for work, school, day care. We get home in the evening and it’s go, go, go. And then it would start all over again in the morning. We could never catch a break. We’d try to make up for it in the weekends, but there was always something that had to be done. It felt like we never got to see our kids and others were raising them instead. That isn’t the kind of parent I wanted to be or become.

It’s life. I know. And the majority of the world is in the same boat…But we didn’t want that for our kids. We could see the mental toll it was having, especially on our eldest due to struggles with his ADHD. Our daughter was also struggling. We needed to slow down completely. For all of our sakes. We wanted more for our kids, not to just go through the motions. We wanted extra-ordinary. Exceptional.

So we bought a bus!

So follow along as we fumble our way through renovations, buslife, home-schooling, travel and parenting. Wish us luck…Well be needing it!
