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 :)

Apr 13 Quarantine Routine

LIFESTYLE

I wouldn’t say that my self care routine was lacking pre-quarantine… but this past month of sheltering in place has really given me all the time in the world to focus on extra skincare and at-home pampering.

I started using FRÉ Skincare this past year and my skin has been so much clearer and happier thanks to their 123FRÉ Set. Not only does FRÉ give back by planting an argan tree for every set ordered and by supporting the women who harvest Moroccan argan oil, they’re encouraging everyone to celebrate Earth Month by offering an extra 45% off all sets which you can shop here: FRÉ Skincare Sets

In case you’re looking for new ways to indulge while we stay at home a bit longer, shop more of my self-care favorites below:
