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 :)

EVOLVh Hair

EVOLVh Hair

Just when I thought I was fully committed to LUSH shower products, I found EVOLVh. In a Petit Vour box I received a few months ago, I got a travel-size, all-natural shampoo and conditioner from EVOLVh Luxury Natural Haircare. It looked good for me (sulfate & paraben-free) and smelled amazing, but I had been very happy with my LUSH shampoo and conditioner bars at the time, so I decided to save the bottles for my trip to St Thomas...

I couldn't have been happier that I packed this Shampoo and Conditioner for my trip. With the amount of time spent in the sun and salty water, my hair needed all the extra moisture it could get. EVOLVh's UltraShine Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner left my hair feeling soft, silky, and smooth. And it just got better once I got home to California! (If you didn't already know this about me, I basically do nothing to my hair besides shampoo, condition, and add a little argan oil to it. So the fact that it looks like I've gotten a blowout by the time my hair dries, which is usually after 2-3 hours because my hair is so thick, has got me hooked on this EVOLVh stuff.
