Day in the Life of a 6th Grader
How do your homeschool days look?

Being that Keegan just had a sneezing fit (allergies) and is taking a cat nap, I thought I’d lay out our day today. While I like to start at 9am, it’s usually closer to 10:30. 😆

The goal is to get at least 3 subjects completed by lunch time. Each pile is a subject. The bottom right shows all of our English even tho it looks like 3 piles. 

Each day varies a little depending on what we have planned. Normally Mondays and Fridays are our fullest days (unless we’re on a Field trip). Since we are our for something every Tuesday-Thursday. 

-We start with prayer and Bible
-History reading is normally next with him working on his lap book
-I like to do math next, but since I only teach a new lesson 1-2 times per week, he’s normally doing that on his own or while I read the latest Percy book which happens to be House of Hades right now
-Shortly after lunch we jump into science and English. Most of his English at this point is on his own with me again only teaching 1-2 times per week 

We like this relaxed pace tho it’s sometimes hard for me to remember that we’re not behind just because we didn’t start at 9am 😆

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.

Here is my story on YouTube.
