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 :)

#WithoutWalls

I love when things happen that seem totally coincidental but at the same time are completely relatable or relevant to your life. That's pretty much exactly how I felt when Urban Outfitters reached out to me with their new adventure and activewear brand, Without Walls. I originally started practicing yoga because of a good friend I met working at Urban Outfitters while in college. She became certified as an instructor and taught me the first yoga class I'd ever been to in my life. Now, just a few years later, I'm a certified instructor, who still has a weakness for clothes  (especially when those clothes are bikinis or yoga clothes!!). 

So big thank you to the Without Walls team for developing my new favorite leggings (the seam placement on these babies make them so comfortable to wear). Not only am I obsessed with the fit of these pieces and the quality of the fabric, but I'm loving the message that Without Walls is pushing, in fact, I try to push the same message myself! To me, 'Take Off Your Party Dress' means letting your hair down, getting a little sweaty, going #WithoutWalls and finding adventure because there really is #MoreToExplore. What are you waiting for?! #GetMovingHaveFun
