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 :)

A Little Bit Country

I spent this last weekend visiting family and some of my favorite places out in Wyoming.  Growing up, my family would fly out or take a road trip to visit my Grandpa's ranch for what felt like almost every summer.  Lander, the town my great-grandmother lived in and my grandfather retired to, has and always will have a special place in my heart.  I strongly believe that this little bit of country in me influenced my decision to go to school in San Luis Obispo, my perfect little mix of city and country.

A few of my favorite places to visit below:

Since I've started this blog, I have a lot of thanks to give to my awesome and talented sister for helping me out on the photography end. So realizing that I had to take advantage of being on vacation with her, I planned on shooting a few outfits to post and just so happened to include these Ariat boots I got on our last trip out to the Cowboy State.  When I hopped online to include some links to their product and tagging them on social media, I found that they are hosting a New York Fashion Week Giveaway with Chictopia and couldn't be crossing my fingers tighter, hoping for a chance to win!

I would love, appreciate and be so so grateful if you could take the time to vote for me here!

Thank you all!
