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 :)

May 16 Summer Wedding Dresses

Alison Jones Violas

LIFESTYLE

I’ve been posting a few dresses on my stories lately and given the responses I’m getting, it’s obvious I’m not the only one with a few summer weddings to attend.

One of the weddings we’ll be attending has a neutral color scheme, which is most of what you’ll see here. I’m still waiting to see what the dress code/color scheme is going to be for our September/late summer wedding, so there may be a follow up post to this with some bolder, brighter colors. Hopefully this post can help you find some summer wedding outfit inspo too — let me know what you think!
