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 :)

Keeping our house clean is very much a work in progress when there’s constant chaos going on, but one win for the last week was finally getting bookshelves hung in Ford’s room which I’d been meaning to do forever. These were such a simple change but made a huge impact in the room and he LOVES it!

We also took a trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific this past week which was SO much fun for the kiddos. We got a family membership for my parents recently and plan to utilize it as much as possible for the next year — and I’ve already got a fun scavenger hunt in mind to make with the laminator!

Admittedly, I fell off the yoga train a bit this last week, but did get out for more neighborhood walks!! With that said, I did enjoy this Morning Stretch video and this Yoga with Adriene flow as well. I’m aiming to fit both (yoga and walks) into my days going forward.

While this isn’t anything new for 2025, I really feel like I’ve got my full shower routine down to a T. From hair wash and conditioner to shave, tan, and moisturize!
