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 :)

LIFESTYLE

I may not have made it to Miami to watch these golden goddesses showcase 2015's hottest bikinis, but that didn't stop me from scoping the runways and lusting over the latest swimwear (that is soon to break my bank, I'm sure)...  Read on for my featured favorites from SWIM WEEK:

 MAAJI SWIMWEAR

- If I had to choose my favorite thing about Maaji, it would have to be their material. Not only does the fabric they use feel like butter, but I love the mixing and matching of the patterns and colors they use! I'm also loving the extension of their swim line into activewear.

MARA HOFFMAN

- My ultimate swimwear idol. Seriously though, in my eyes, Mara can do no wrong. Since the first time I came across her line, I have been in love with her bright, fun colors and eclectic prints. Hoping to soon make my closet home to some of her pieces...

MINIMALE ANIMALE

- They are what they say they are ;) My absolute favorite minimal (coverage) swimsuits! Minimale Animale killed it this weekend with my favorite being their not-so-basic black bikinis for the not-so-faint of heart.

 I'm really digging the moto styling and love the "outfits" that walked down the runway as well as the 'kinis. (I desparately want every item pictured above, hint hint: my birthday's only two months away!)

INDAH

- For the final walk of the week, Indah ended it with a bright, bold bang. I've always been captured by the carefree, island vibe that exudes every piece from this Balinese brand. From handknit macrame to neoprene, Indah's swim range offers a variety of styles and of course, I love them all! Also loving this floral print pictured above (far left on pants and far right on dress) and need to get my hands on that little fringe crop...
