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 :)

Green JUICE

Green JUICE

This past month I committed myself to a few things:

  • cutting alcohol out of my diet
  • making time to get on my mat at least 3x a week 
  • consuming more vegetables

Thanks to some discipline, having a CorePower yoga studio down the street from my office, and the new Breville juicer I got for Christmas, I was able to stick through the month and accomplish all three of these goals.

I pulled out my good ol' Pressed Juicery JUICE book and made my own version of Greens 3 which is my new favorite juice.

With your juicer or blender, combine the ingredients below for a drink packed with essential vitamins and minerals (like vitamins K, A, B, and C):

  • Multiple handfuls of spinach
  • Large cucumber
  • 2 celery stalks
  • 1 Fuji apple
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 small lime
  • 1" piece of ginger (peeled)
  • Few sprigs of mint
