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.

From Computer Programmer to Health and Wellness Educator

 
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Allison, momma to Jackson, Connor, Brady, and Keegan, married to Peter. We live in a Philly suburb here in Pennsylvania. Our life is beautiful and crazy, but we love each other, despite all the wrestling matches my boys host. We’re definitely a work in progress.

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

I started out at Villanova for accounting, but soon found myself as a computer programmer creating websites in the mid-’90s. That lasted a few years before I decided to be a stay-at-home mom and I’ve never looked back!

In my 20s, I struggled with endometriosis, which began my journey into health and wellness—my true passion. I even blogged about eliminating an ovarian cyst through fasting! Now, I have a strong desire to help others by sharing my story and showing there's a better way.

Fast forward to my first son, Jackson. When he was a toddler, he decided to spray Shower Power in his mouth! Let’s just say Poison Control and I were good friends back then. Although I started my journey in the '90s with food, I didn’t fully connect the dots between cleaning chemicals and health until much later.

Today, I’m navigating life as a homeschool mom of one teen, a college mom, and I’ve just recently seen my two oldest boys get married! We also have two adorable mini poodles—our "girls"—to balance out the boy chaos. Homeschooling only one might seem simpler, but I’m busier than ever, balancing life and staying connected with my older boys.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and sharing my love for natural health, fitness, and homeschooling. Fresh milled flour has become a recent passion of mine. I love baking and with all the poorly processed flours out there, it’s no wonder so many are gluten-sensitive. I’m far from perfect!

I’m passionate about empowering moms, especially homeschool moms over 35 with lively children, so they can take charge of their family's health.

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