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 :)

For The Love of Lemons (Water)

I've recently decided to start taking my water drinking seriously... I don't know about you, but I've always felt like EIGHT-8 ounce glasses a day is such an overwhelming number (and my bladder would agree). But I know there are endless benefits to drinking water and am already feeling better than my old, less hydrated self. My skin isn't acting up near as much and I feel that I have more energy throughout the day, soooo that's awesome!

In case you didn't know, the average human body is composed of 60% water and every single one of our bodily functions is dependent on good ol' H-2-O. All the more reason to throw back a glass as you're reading this now...

Not that a tall glass of ice water sounds like a horrible thing, but to encourage myself to drink even more than I normally do, I splurged on this super fancy water infuser ($4.99 at TJ Maxx). Just by adding a little flavor to my water, I've found myself constantly needing to refill!

Some of my favorite combos:

Lemon - Lime - Cucumber

Watermelon - Mint - Lemon

I figured this post about lemon infused water could also serve as a cheeky opportunity for me to share my beloved Skivvies with you all. For Love & Lemons does it right when it comes to, well, everything so it was no surprise to me that I fell in love with my Lil Kitten Skivvies set!
