Essential Oils for Homeschoolers
What? Essential oils and homeschooling? Why? For focus, immune support, calming, and so much more! I plan my homeschool and sometimes I like to be intentional with my oils.  But let me back up, how did I get started? Well in short, I was tired of my family being sick all winter long.  So we added a super food drink (Ningxia Red) and a little bottle that changed our lives for the better. For the longer version click here.

How do we use them in our homeschool? Basically 3 ways.

Diffuse or Aromatically

Diffusing essential oils is so simple, add oils and water to a diffuser to disperse it into the air or just simply crack open a bottle and breathe it in. I like to use Clarity and Stress Away for encouraging focus and peace.  Citrus Fresh or any citrus oils is a great pick me up for sluggish mornings. Endoflex recently is my go to for all thing emotional!

Topically

You can apply them to your wrists, neck, back, feet, etc.  This allows the body to absorb the oils through the skin.  Peace and Calming helps to reduce stress and tension. Having a roller really makes this easy.

Internally

I add several drops to my Ningxia Red every morning along with a liquid form of Vitamin D. If anyone is feeling under the weather or we just need an extra immunity boost, I will add lemon to everyone's Ningxia. I prefer Thieves in mine, but it was too spicy for my family!

I have just started using my iTovi scan more intentionally.  I scanned half our family, Peter, Keegan and myself this morning.  I diffused 4-6 oils from each scan in different rooms, for example I put Peter's top 4 oils in the bedroom diffuser where he works.  I put mine in the front hall because I seem to always moving back and forth and Keegan's I put in the family room diffuser where we normally do our school.  I also created rollers for each of us and will be rolling on our feet with our "personalized" rollers. This is how I plan to be more intentional about using oils this season.

Hey there! I’m Allison, a homeschool mom of 4 boys, married to Peter. Three of my boys have graduated, and I still have one in high school. 

We live in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Life here is beautiful, a little loud, and full of wrestling matches. We’re definitely a work in progress, and that’s real life.

A little about me and how I got here...

I started at Villanova studying accounting, then ended up working as a computer programmer building websites in the mid-’90s. A few years later, I became a stay-at-home mom and never looked back.

My wellness journey began in my 20s when I struggled with endometriosis. It opened my eyes to how much our daily choices matter. 

I started with food, then slowly learned more about what supports a healthier home and body.

That journey grew into a passion for helping other moms see they don’t need to do it all. They can start small and grow.

When my oldest was little, he once sprayed Shower Power in his mouth. Let’s just say Poison Control and I were a little too familiar back then. 

That moment stuck with me.

Even though I had already started making changes with food, it took me longer to connect the dots between cleaning products, toxins, and everyday wellness.

These days, I’m navigating life as a homeschool mom, college mom, and now a mom whose two oldest boys are married. We also have two girl poodles, and they help balance out all the boy energy around here. 

I love teaching about real life wellness, simple swaps, fitness, and homeschooling. I also love whole foods, exercise, pickleball, and reminding moms they need some alone time before starting the homeschool day. 

You can’t teach from an empty cup. 

Fresh milled flour has also become a big passion of mine. I love baking from freshly ground grain, and I believe a lot of what bothers people is the processing, not just the gluten itself.

I’m passionate about helping homeschool moms 35 and up create a calm, fun, organized home, reduce toxins, and feel more confident about what really matters. You got this. Let’s take it one step at a time.

If that sounds like you, I’d love to help.

Here is my story on YouTube.
