Friday are our best days for Field trips to round out the week. 

This was likely my favorite “traditional” educational field trip of the year. 

Though I’ve been here a ton of times with my boys, we did 3 things we’ve never done before: 

Turtles class- this was a q&a behind the scenes with a guide on top of the Ocean Realm which we’ve only scene from the other side of the glass. Those who have been there in the last thirsty years: Bob is still there! She (yes she) has been at the Aquarium for 30 years!


Reptile class- this one we wouldn’t do again, it reminded me of Camp Little Bear when they bring out a few reptiles for you to see up close and they give a few facts. Maybe if Keegan were Camp Little Bear age, 3-5, he would have enjoyed this more!


VR Under Water Explorer- this was probably the coolest thing! There were 4 to choose from. Keegan chose Swimming With the Sharks and it was awesome!

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.
