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 :)

Waterfront Restaurant

Waterfront Restaurant

It's been a little over two months since I've moved up to the bay, and lately I've been feeling extra homesick (missing San Luis Obispo and family). So to get myself out of this funk, I decided its time to play tourist a bit more in my own city here. 

Instead of choosing where to go out ahead of time, Chris and I decided to drive out to Embarcadero the other weekend and walked around until we found something we wanted to eat. We started our walk in front of the Waterfront Restaurant, and didn't go much farther than that! After reading the menu out front, we both decided this was the spot to grab drinks and an early dinner. When there are fresh oysters and wine involved, you can't really go wrong, can you? 

WE ORDERED LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE AND OYSTERS TO START, THEN I HAD THE MOST AMAZING CIOPPINO DISH FOR DINNER

As I continue to explore this 7x7 mile city, I'll be sharing more of my favorite places on here so make sure to come back and visit the blog if you're in or visiting the SF area!
