Prepping homeschool when going on a girls’ weekend!
Sunday 3/20 - I’m a currently at a rest stop on my way home from a fantastic weekend with some old and new friends. Basically having “party” on my car listening to all my “Jeanine 80s favorites” like Waiting for a Star to Fall, Def Leppard (have to we went to our first DL concert together on 1988) and of course the Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure soundtrack. But I digress, let me back up. Jeanine and I are life long friends since we were teens and this was her 50th bday celebration. In order to be able to go I had to figure out homeschool. Did I want to make this “Spring Break” for them or not?

I figured Brady had work to do for Monday and Keegan has a part of his paper due so let’s  prep! Brady was easy, did a math lesson on Tuesday and went over the CC guide. Keegan required a little more work. I set him up with review math, science videos and typing up his paper.

Monday 3/21 - Now that I'm back from a wonderful weekend, I noticed that I either didn't prep too well or expected too much of them.  lol  Brady didn't realize he had a paper due today and so he was up until 2am finishing it! Keegan only did 3 math problems. So we will have some extra work this week.  And you know what? That's ok! They had a nice little break (although they probably wouldn't say they did) and now we need to buckle down this week.  I had a nice break with old friends an new.

Truly the best prep I did was for my Essentials class.  I completed everything for it last Monday so I had nothing to do for today except make lunches last night.

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 used to feel overwhelmed by all the information about health, ingredients, and creating a lower-tox home. There was always something else I could be doing, and honestly, I didn’t know what really mattered most.

Then I discovered that I didn’t have to change everything at once. I could start small, make simple swaps, and learn what actually worked for my family in real life. That made it feel doable.

Now I help busy, thoughtful moms in a full or changing season of life who want healthier, more intentional choices for their home and family but feel overwhelmed by where to start.

I help them simplify wellness, focus on what matters most, and make changes that actually fit real life.

If that’s you, get in touch. I’d love to help.

Here is my story on YouTube.
