Hi!

I'm Alison, a homeschooling mom, lifestyle blogger, yoga instructor, and Long Beach native sharing our family's adventures in Southern California.

This blog has grown right alongside me over the years. What started as a place to share my adventures in fitness, food, and travel has evolved into a space where I document our family's everyday moments from homeschooling and motherhood to family-friendly adventures, local Southern California guides, travel inspiration, and the little things that make this season of life so special.

Whether you're looking for homeschool encouragement, pregnancy and motherhood tips, the best parks and family activities, or ideas for your next getaway, I hope you find something here that inspires you and makes life just a little easier.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I'm so happy you're here!

Feel free to say hello or shoot me a note any time — I love connecting with fellow moms, homeschoolers, and adventure seekers :)

LIFESTYLE

For the past month I've been using Aloette's new Aloeclear line and am so so happy with it. This 3-step pack contains ingredients like aloe vera, peppermint oil, and witch hazel which naturally declog pores and cleanse the skin. I've been finishing off my new routine with the Nutri-Moisture lotion and it leaves my face feeling bright and hydrated all day long (without getting overly oily or greasy as the afternoon hits)! If you're in search of a gentle face wash or need a new moisturizer, I highly recommend trying out Aloette. (Let me know if you are interested, one of my good friends is always more than willing to share samples of the product.)
