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 :)

Açai Bowls 4EVER

If I could only have ONE thing for breakfast for the rest of my life, I would have to choose an Açai Bowl, hands down. And, if you are like me and have already hopped on board the Açai train, you know that this is one of the pricier food trends out there! Which is why I've decided to quit going to Sally Loo's and Bliss Cafe to get them and instead, make them on my own... because really, they're not very hard at all :)

What you'll need:

1. Sambazon Açai Smoothie Pack -- sold in 10 packs at Costco, score

2. Frozen fruit -- I like mangoes and strawberries but the possibilities are endless!

3. Liquid base -- Normally I use almond or coconut milk but any fruit juice works just as well

4. Toppings -- Think granola, coconut chips, fresh fruit (banana, kiwi, strawberry), nuts and seeds

What to do:

1. Combine Açai pack and frozen fruits in blender.

2. Begin to blend at low speed, adding almond milk or other liquid slowly while increasing speed.

3. Blend until smooth. You will want a thicker consistency than a normal smoothie. If the mix is too thick, continue to add milk/juice. If the mixture is too thin, blend in more frozen fruit.

4. Pour into a bowl, add your toppings, and dig in!!
