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 :)

Jan 12 Roots 13 JUICE

Alison Jones Violas

FOOD

I've been whipping up this beet-carrot-orange juice lately and it's so good that I had to share it with you all. The recipe is Roots 13 from Pressed Juicery's Juice Book.

This juice is one of my favorites for a number of reasons. 1) It's super simple to make with only 3 ingredients! 2) It's a delightfully sweet combination of root veggies and citrus. This juice will support your immune system, provide antioxidants, and deliver anti inflammatory properties. 3) The color is incredible!! Although I'm issuing the warning now... This juice will most likely turn your teeth pink (I happened to be eating orange slices with my juice so that cleaned them up, but a swish of water should do the trick too!)
