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 :)

This past week was a bit of a reset after coming home from Utah. We cleaned the house, put away all last Christmas things, and I spent some time prepping for next month’s activities, mainly Valentine’s Day:

  • Coloring pages - I try to print out 10ish pages per holiday to have on hand (Monday Mandala is always my go-to for free PDFs).

  • I grabbed some fun and easy Valentines crafts from Target and Michaels and have them ready-to-go for Mondays and Fridays (AKA our non-preschool days).

  • Tracing pages - I recently got an at home laminator and am obsessed! Callie has been working on her letters and numbers lately, so I printed out and laminated a reusable alphabet sheet. She loved it so much, I made another to practice writing her name next.

I’m pleased to say I’ve stayed consistent with my morning/daily yoga so far - I even made it to a heated vinyasa class which is always a treat (Amber @ Corepower Brea is one of my local favorites). Sharing a few of my recent online favorites in case you could use a stretch too:
