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 :)

SPOTLIGHT: Stone Fox Swim

SPOTLIGHT: Stone Fox Swim

If you know me, then I'm pretty sure you know how big of a bikini addict I am ;) Since the start of my Instagramming days, I began to follow bikini line after bikini line and probably, no definitely, spent way too much time dreaming of owning all the beautiful suits that flooded my feed. But of all the brands I've accumulated under my "Following," Stone Fox Swim has always topped the list! I absolutely love the fun, colorful prints that designer Chelsea Bell comes up with -- especially the Oasis and Palms prints from her Spring '14 collection. Scope the Tropic Wasteland collection below:

And just when I thought I was fully impressed with the colors and cuts of Stone Fox Swim, I fell in love with their clothing line BAKEDxSFS. I can't stop obsessing over all of the detail that goes into these lines -- everything from design to photoshoot styling! The creativity that stems from Chelsea's collaborations with photographer Nicole Hill is inspiring! Still bummed that I never got my hands on a "Baked at the Beach" tank from last summer's line up, but check out some of my favorites from this season:

"STONE FOX SUITS ARE FOR THE CONFIDENT, BOLD & BRAVE GIRL WHO HAS A PASSION FOR LIFE AND IS DEFINITELY NOT AFRAID TO STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD."
